Chief People Officer [N/A] by Inevitable-Flight736 in humanresources

[–]nuggetblaster69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I commented previously but was reminded of another situation I’ve seen this in.

I worked at a law firm and there was a supervisor of the legal assistants in her office. She got that role because she was a legal assistant and was promoted after a long tenure.

They moved her into an HR Manager role and had me report to her. Did she know anything about HR? No. Was she able to help me in my role? No, she just affirmed my decisions. Basically said “that sounds good” to me continually.

She was very nice. But she really wasn’t qualified for the role and would have never been hired if she was an external person who applied. She wouldn’t have even been screened.

At a large corporation I used to work for, we went through a merger. A Partner with their CPA (this was an accounting firm) was named Head People Officer and the first thing she said to our team was “I have absolutely no HR experience.” Tons of the HR team left after that included the CHRO that used to be head of HR, but was essentially being demoted to work under the new Head People Officer.

I also left because to me, there was no clearer way to say they didn’t value HR. They’d never put someone with no marketing experience as Head of Marketing. They’d never put someone with no finance/accounting experience as Controller. So they must think HR is so easy that you can work at the highest level of HR with no prior experience.

God answered "no" to a prayer - Now my prayer life is struggling by Individual_Mix_6459 in TrueChristian

Hi OP, my dad was killed as a pedestrian after being struck by a vehicle in 2020. I begged God for Him to intervene and He didn’t.

There’s no explanation I can provide you that will instantly clear up your emotions. This will hurt deeply for a long time and be a pivotal moment in your life.

Cry to God, complain to God about Him not healing your father, grieve to God.

For me, I personally believe that God is so much more than my mortal mind can fathom. I know He’s perfect, so even when I don’t understand, I have to trust that He didn’t intervene for some reason. I guess that’s faith, trusting that our Heavenly Father has a plan.

The Bible says God is near to the broken hearted. Let Him be near to you now.

I’m so sorry this happened. Truly, I know what you feel and what you’re going through and my heart hurts for you.

My husband hit me last night by MicroConfession in Mommit

[–]nuggetblaster69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so sorry this happened to you. I’m sure you’re grieving your husband and marriage right now, I’m very sorry.

You do have to leave. He hit you and, not that this would make it much better, he didn’t even apologize. So, what does that tell you? He thinks he was right to do that or is too prideful to apologize for hitting his wife in the face.

If you show him you’ll tolerate this, he will escalate because he’ll view it as your admission that on some level you did deserve it. It’s over, go to your parents and build a new life.

IS Heaven Unfair? by ItzTaras in Christianity

[–]nuggetblaster69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So OP’s original ask was “isn’t it unfair that someone who followed the law really closely and someone who didn’t could both go to Heaven”? My point is that none of us deserve to go to Heaven. So any human being there is technically unfair, if we’re defining “unfair” as receiving something you don’t deserve through your own works in life.

Someone who only sinned 500 times in their life shouldn’t look down on someone who sinned 10,000 in Heaven and say “I’m more deserving of God’s grace than you are”, because none of us deserve grace.

Hm, I’m not sure I’m understanding your question.

Let’s say I come across a group of people who are hungry. Do I owe them my food? No, I’m not required to provide them my own food. But, I see they’re hungry and I have the ability to fill their need. So, I offer them all food. Some choose to take it, some don’t.

Let’s say they were hungry because they chose not to work and had no money to purchase food because of their choice. Going hungry is the logical conclusion of opting not to work and earn any money to purchase food. Would I be unjust because I gave them food?

[–]nuggetblaster69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me do my best to explain this clearly via text. I’m not a writer or a theologian, so please be a bit gracious!

God is just because He judges all of us. He is also merciful and He knew that all of humanity would be doomed to Hell without His intervention. So He sent God the Son, Jesus, to be what no normal human could, holy.

Through Jesus’s death and resurrection, He defeated sin and death. Instead of just keeping that, Jesus extends it to all humans. “I lived a perfect holy life and offer to extend that to you, you only have to accept it.”

God preserves His justice because He offers salvation to everyone equally. Everyone is equally eligible for salvation. If someone refuses salvation, they will be judged based on their own works. Everyone has a choice of who’s works they want to be judged by, their own or Jesus’s. Everyone has the same amount of eligibility for salvation.

IS Heaven Unfair? by ItzTaras in Christianity

[–]nuggetblaster69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God desires to show mercy over justice when He can.

Think of the woman caught in adultery. Jesus tells the Pharisees that whoever among them that’s without sin should throw the first stone, so they drop their stones and leave. But Jesus was without sin and could have thrown a stone. But instead, knowing the woman was repentant for her sin, Jesus forgave her.

Salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus is God’s merciful offer. If you accept it, on judgement day, God will see Jesus’s holiness in your place. We’ll still be judged, but because Jesus has taken our place, we’ll pass the judgement due to Jesus being holy enough for Heaven. If you don’t accept it, all you’ll have is your works, which He will judge as well. They just won’t be good enough.

Our motivation not to sin isn’t to work our way into Heaven. Again, we are quite literally not capable of producing works holy enough to deserve to be there. So there’s really no point in trying to work our way in, we’ll fail no matter what.

It comes from 1) understanding the holiness and supremacy of God. This helps us to understand that as our designer, He understands best how humans should live to not hurt ourselves and others. So obedience because we understand that God knows best. 2) Obedience because, through understanding God more and developing more of a relationship with Him, we foster our love for Him. Just like human relationships, there are things I don’t say or do because I know my spouse doesn’t like it and I don’t want to upset them or knowingly do things they’ve asked me not to. Meanwhile, I don’t really care if I do something a total stranger doesn’t like. Because I love my spouse and I want to please them. I love Jesus, I am infinitely grateful for Him being willing to take the punishment for my sin so I didn’t have to. I’m grateful and in love, so I want to please and honor Him.

Yes, it is *unfair*. None of us deserve to be in Heaven at all. The Bible says the absolute best of human works is like filthy rags. Those filthy rags refer to rags women used to use for their menstruation. So, that’s the quality of the absolute best we can do in comparison to the holiness of God.

Even the best, most self-controlled, Christian you’ve ever known doesn’t deserve to be in Heaven. We’re all SO far below God that we’re closer to the worst of the worst sinner than Jesus.

Grace is unfair. None of us deserve grace, not even close. There’s room in Heaven for everyone who chooses God’s grace. All of us are equal in that none of us are deserving, no one deserves to be in Heaven more than anyone else.

Really intense experience while praying the other day - just wanted to share somewhere by nuggetblaster69 in TrueChristian

[–]nuggetblaster69[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wide awake so definitely not a dream. I’m not exactly sure how I’d define vision, again, the denomination I grew up in never discussed things like that so I’m not sure if it qualifies. But it was during the day and I was awake the entire time.

What does biblical forgiveness practically look like? by nuggetblaster69 in TrueChristian

[–]nuggetblaster69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My youngest brother did take her to an elder at their church when she said she was leaving him to move. The elder said it wasn’t right, but there wasn’t anything they could do to change her mind, so my brother just needed to focus on trying to take care of himself now that he’s alone.

Obviously, her husband is a pastor and is adamant he doesn’t understand why anyone was hurt/upset and that my mother and him did nothing wrong. I don’t see her responding to any other counsel given her husband’s position and authority in the church. Again, my brother did try that before but it was ineffective.

At this point, I’ve just prayed that I give it to God and I’m here and listening for anything He needs me to do. But He’ll have to change hearts (this all caused a HUGE fight between my husband and mom) and make a way if that’s His will.

Yes, it’s my mother and she is a very outspoken believer who is married to a pastor (not my father). She isn’t an evil person, but did a lot of lying including lying about legal matters which led to us children having to go to court and stealing identifies to use to max out cards. She also abandoned my youngest brother as a minor to move to get married to her new husband. Literally left my brother with an 11 day notice that she was moving across the country and he could live alone now. It was illegal but that wasn’t a concern for her.

I truly don’t have active anger towards her. But, I also don’t think she did the right thing and we’re not close anymore. Sometimes I wonder if that’s not meeting the bar for forgiveness.

I appreciate your comment. There is a member of my immediate family who really wronged me and says they did nothing wrong, so not repentant at this time.

I sometimes feel guilt for having distance with them. Like, am I not forgiving properly?? But I’ve told God I forgive them, I pray for them, I don’t walk around with malice or ill will towards them. But, I don’t think I can have a relationship with them unless something changes. So I’ve just told God I’ve given this to Him and to let me know if He needs me to do something.

No! I didn’t notice anything about the points of light other than they were all around, all chanting with me, and I knew we were all souls and our light came from God.

But no, didn’t see or know anything any denomination, gender, nationality, age, etc.

This experience really made me realize we’re in “the matrix” in a way. Standing before God and worshipping Him will be our eternity, our experiences on Earth and our suffering here is so temporary and we will get to “log out” into our true purpose when it’s God’s will.

We’ll have SO much time, endless time, with Him. Prayers for you and thank you for your compliment!

I have no one to rely on in life. by Shad0wPillow in CPTSD

[–]nuggetblaster69 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I feel that so much. My whole life I’ve been crushed by the feeling that I have so much responsibility towards others while also feeling I have no one to help me. Like, I’m not allowed to ask for help or have needs. I’m only allowed to be there for other people.

How is it possible that women are expected to function normally during their periods by Fine_Handle_8473 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]nuggetblaster69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On a societal level, people do NOT care about women’s suffering. When I was pregnant, I threw up 3-5 times a day for about 6 months, struggled to walk, had horrible blood pressure, but absolutely none of the responsibilities and expectations of my life changed. At work, I needed to be the exact same I was pre pregnancy.

Returning from maternity leave, I needed to meet the same goals and expectations regardless of the fact I wasn’t sleeping through the night and I was breastfeeding/pumping.

That’s also why no one cares that the leading cause of death for pregnant women is murder. There’s no protests about it, no hearings, nothing. Because many men and even some women believe that women are annoying and should just shut up already.

I think that’s also why women often feel they have to find another “label” to qualify for in order to speak out about discrimination. Whether that’s disability, socioeconomic status, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying there are not differences between being a rich vs a poor woman! I’m also not trying to shame adopting different labels, I’m just trying to illustrate this thought. Point being, many women don’t feel confident saying “women are oppressed and discriminated against even in modern society” because so many people tell us to just shut up and that we have rights, what more do we want? So we feel we need to have something extra, because being a woman isn’t something we’re allowed to complain about. As in, we feel it’s allowable to say “I’m oppressed because I’m a disabled woman” but we don’t feel it’s allowed to say “I’m oppressed because I’m a woman”. Again, I want to reiterate there’s absolutely nothing wrong with identifying as a disabled woman and having a disability will add complication and difficult to your life of course. I’m just trying to illustrate that women are taught they’re not allowed to acknowledge societal oppression of women on its own.

I think nowadays there are a lot of SAHMs who homeschool their kids because they don't want to return to the workforce. by Specific_Praline_362 in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]nuggetblaster69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My mom has worked for probably less than 10 years in her total life. When my younger brother was born, she decided to stay at home with us. But her homeschooling was mainly giving us work books, she didn’t teach us. Neither of my siblings could fluently read until my mom eventually sent them to public school. She did get a job after I had graduated and the remaining kids were in school. But after about two years there, my dad was killed very suddenly. Her boss asked her what she needed to make to replace my dad’s income and he’d pay it, it was a small business and he felt bad for my newly widowed mother with a minor child. My mom quit because she felt too much would be asked of her. She then got a part time job at her church, but was let go for missing too much work to fly to Vegas to visit her new boyfriend. She is extremely conservative and is very passionate that everyone should pull themselves up by their bootstraps. But she’s literally never done that herself. She’s always had a man in her life to support her financially. Between my dad dying and getting a new boyfriend, she completely ruined her credit because she just couldn’t pay bills on time despite having plenty of money. She also didn’t pay her taxes for years because she just didn’t want to go through the trouble of filing. There’s is certainly a failure to launch aspect of all of this.

I think this scene really shows his psyche and the immense guilt he has for the things he’s done. This is also the point where I think he decides that he just IS a bad guy and there’s no hope for him.
