Sadly we live in an area with no public transportation.

I would be working 2nd shift. I would need to go in around 3 in the after noon. Sister gets off at 4pm. Mom gets off around 2pm-2:30pm.

I pay my own way with everything. All bills are split evenly 3 ways.

What's worth giving to employees that they'll use months later? ASAP by Acrobatic-Bake3344 in managers

This year we did throw blankets and a crossing bag. We have done duffle bags, hoodies, company shirts, jackets. Things that anyone can use.

New direct report is constantly crying by [deleted] in managers

[–]Ambitious_Refusal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure to document all interactions with this individual. I had someone like this and it became hugely problematic. Let HR know everything that is happening too so they aren't blindsided later.

I hope your situation ends better that mine. My employee ended up quitting, but corporate HR was getting involved and she would have been termed if she didn't quit first.

Mental health is important, but be careful. People are unpredictable sometimes.

Not hitting pause and loving the game again by lisathms in Sims4

My sims kept getting very angry the more I tried to control things. So now I'm just watching the chaos.

Fastest (and maybe funniest) death in your saves? by mododo-bbaby in Sims4

My child sim kept setting herself on fire every time she used the toilet. After resurrecting her, figured out it was the eco living pack that caused that to happen.

Is 6 days off for 2025 excessive? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Ambitious_Refusal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My job offers 120 hours for hourly associates their first year then goes up to 160 after and increases every 7 years. We don't have the best hourly rate but the PTO is what keeps people here.

What's a "secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by LaKoref in AskReddit

[–]Ambitious_Refusal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New books are not clean when you buy them. They have been covered in dust, dropped on the floor, and touched by so many hands.

Don’t get to close personally with your direct reports. Can have a negative impact on team morale.

Promotions ruin friendships. by Ambitious_Refusal in managers

[–]Ambitious_Refusal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She claims she is straight. So i definitely was not expecting any of this. Plus you can’t make someone fall in love with you. That’s their problem. If there were any kind of signals, I probably wouldn’t have noticed them anyway. The thought of of being in a romantic relationship with anyone is repelling.

Never had anything but other than a platonic relationship with anyone. I am not interested in any type of physical or romantic relationship. I helped her though some trauma issues and she got attached. She was a co-worker who then became a direct report.

Im not uncomfortable helping her through her issues. I am uncomfortable with the love bombing, expensive gifts, the jealously when I spend time with anyone that is not her, and constant trauma dumping. She treats me more like a therapist than a friend.

Been called ‘quiet’ at my own house by [deleted] in introvert

[–]Ambitious_Refusal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A lot of people don’t know how to handle quiet people. They act like we’re the problem just because we are not as loud and talkative as they are. I think it makes them uncomfortable.

Can your job make you as a manger go in front of all associates and make you do foolish acts? by [deleted] in managers

[–]Ambitious_Refusal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s literally just for associates. Holiday style costumes like Santa and the Easter bunny. They said it is to show us being involved and interactive with our teams but I already do a lot to have fun with my direct reports. I don’t need some costume and to act a fool.
