Moving to the area very soon and looking for a job.

Hello! I just recently separated from the military after completing 10 years of service. My family is starting over brand new and moving to Clayton. I was wondering if there are any job opportunities for someone in my position with my unique experience. Thanks in advance.

Free mental health support for all teens in NC after Hurricane Helene <3 (sponsored by NCDHHS!!!)

I’m a student ambassador for Somethings - a state-endorsed, free mental health service for teens exclusively in North Carolina. We connect teens with trained young adult peer specialists who can provide guidance, empathy, and support during tough times.

I'm trying to as many parents and teens who might benefit from additional support as possible especially in the wake of Hurricane Helene, especially those navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, etc. Here's where we're mentioned on the NCDHHS site (check the second slide of the carousel), and additionally here's our website outlining our partnerships with the state: www.somethings.com/northcarolina

Please feel free to DM me if you have any questions!

Best internet

I’m looking for advice on internet in Clayton. I currently have Spectrum but the signal sucks in my townhouse. I’m considering switching to T-Mobile 5G home internet & curious what everyone thinks of it! The only other option is Brightspeed but I don’t think I can get their Fiber.

What to do with the kids when school is out for working parents?

What does everyone do for child care on all these week days that kids are off school? Both my husband and I work full time. I work from home but I can’t really get much done with my 8 year old constantly complaining how bored she is. I’m mainly looking for somewhere to send her during the days over Christmas vacation since neither of us have enough vacation time to take off the entire recess.

Lumos Fiber Internet

Lumos laid fiber earlier in the year throughout parts of Johnston County, and outside the city limits of Clayton NC, but still considered Clayton. Does anyone know when this will be turned on? Calling Lumos they don't give any answers.

New businesses

There are three new building being built near Culver’s and Pep Boys on Bus 70.

I suspect one is a Starbucks? Anyone know what is going there? I tried looking up the permits on Clayton’s government page and had no luck.

Worst Wings in Clayton

I used to work for Flippin’ wings and it used to be good. The owner’s son left and it fell off fast. All of his recipes were replaced with premixed dry-rubs and Sweet Baby Ray’s

That’s not really an issue, if it tastes good then it tastes good. However, when I worked there it was poorly managed to the point of negligence and infestation. The new kitchen manager had instructed me not to discard chicken that was dropped on the floor because the fryer would kill anything on it. I refused this instruction and was taunted.

They hired a family friend as a cook but paid him as a cashier. When they adjusted it, they told him it was a raise. I had been working there for a year already so I asked about a raise as well. My manager told me that we weren’t supposed to discuss wages with each other and we didn’t deserve a raise. The manager did nothing but watched tik-tok all day. When I reached out to the owner about this and our need for management, she accused me of slander. When I asked her what she planned to do about the infestation she again accused me of slander. On Christmas Day she slashed my hours. My grandpa died less than a week later on my birthday and she slashed my hours again.

When I reported them to the health department for the infestation she ignored that was documented on 2 consecutive health inspections, I was immediately terminated. I was the only staff member above the age of 20 and while they ridiculed me and I referred to them as “teenager” while discussing it with the boss, she reprimanded me for calling them teenagers. I can’t even repeat what they were saying about me due to rules of decorum. But calling them teens when they are literally teens was too far for her?

The owner also consistently misgendered a trans coworker.

To make matters worse, and the reason I feel compelled to post two years later, she approached my father and I at the grocery store to yell at me and called me a “f*****g psycho” knowing that I have a mental disorder.

I actually had scheduled an appt with the Black Pearl Tattoo right beside them over a month before my termination. The appointment was the next week. While I was getting a tattoo, Flippin Wings’ owner called me and threatened me. I filed a report with Clayton PD. The owner’s husband is an ex-con and violent alcoholic and he’s the one that threatened me. I hadn’t been back for another tattoo until this month because he is unhinged.

Since my termination, they’ve been written up on multiple health inspections for serving undercooked chicken. The owner is trying to stay afloat and minimize costs to a failing business. She only hires teenagers and doesn’t train them. The food isn’t safe. I know the recipes, msg me if you want them because this might get removed again. It’s really hard to speak out in Clayton because the good ol’ boys are strong here and can shut down a lot of criticism. Why else would I resort to Reddit?

Home re-insulation

Are there any local reputable companies that can completely re-insulate a home? Preferably the foam insulation.

I am sure the price in this varies greatly, but what is a good approximation for this service for a 1200 square foot home?

Anyone who has had this done who can provide any insight/advice on it?

It’s greatly appreciated.

Preschools

We will be moving to Clayton in the next year. Our youngest will be 4 so we will need to find a new daycare/preschool. Any recommendations and cost insights? I’m hoping it’ll be cheaper than what we currently pay in Cary.
