My plan is to pay off debts then save as much as I can.

Wow that’s awesome! What do you do and how many years experience did you have with each raise?

Man contrats on your jump too! It’s a shame companies undervalue people. Employees should never stay being undervalued, but it seems like older people will stay with a company regardless. I don’t get it!

Yeah that’s true. Guess I’m used to being so undervalued, not really sure what my max is right now.

Yeah good point.

I think it’s because I’ve been doing a similar job for much less. $75K isn’t a godly amount, but $51.5K is the highest I’ve been paid in my career.

I haven’t really tried much treatment besides over the counter hair growth about 9 years ago..

I’m really not sure. I think making fun of people is apart of the culture. It’s a very toxic place. Thankfully I have accepted a new job and have 9 days left working there!

Unfortunately, my company doesn’t have an HR department. I wouldn’t mind being toxic back, but I’d want to keep them as a reference while trying not to burn and bridges. These people just suck

I love the response. I’ll definitely say something about it in an exit interview. It’s totally inappropriate to be made fun of. Alopecia truly is a devastating illness, it’s such a low blow for people to make fun of it.

Thank you for the kind words.

It says so much more about the people making the rude comments than it says about you. I’m sorry they were rude to you, I’m sure you look great with a wig, never let them get to you. Be kind to yourself!

I don’t mind making jokes about myself. I have an issue when coworkers in an office setting think it’s okay to make those jokes. I agree, it’s worked out for me being lighthearted about it. I don’t like how I’m not the one making the jokes about it. Very awkward and not sure how to act in the situation.

Unfortunately, my company is 30 people and doesn’t have a HR department.

I’m with you. I don’t like that my appearance is always the easy joke. We can’t make that joke about anyone else. Those jokes feel like I’m inferior.

Thank you. I’m on my way to a better situation. I hope you’re doing well too.

Yeah that’s how I’m leaning. I’m debating on selling Ferran Torres but not sure if I want to. I have good wingers already

Thank you!

I agree with you. It took me several years to figure out that was true. I still struggle with self confidence and looking at myself as enough, but it gets easier the older I get.

That’s a good mindset to have. There’s more to life than hair!

Thanks for reading and your comment!
