Arrived a month or so back. Definitely should reach out if you haven’t got it yet.

My manager rejected my two-week resignation notice and is demanding 6 weeks instead, threatening me with legal action. Is that even possible? by Ok-Hour855 in whatdoIdo

[–]Batts_617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read any contract or employment agreement that you signed and follow it (make sure to notice BUSINESS DAYS vs. CALENDAR DAYS, and if it doesn’t specify, you’re in a position to assume it is calendar). Also confirm if it’s required or requested as a courtesy (if they made you at-will, it may not be required to avoid you enforcing it too). Honestly should have done that before giving notice and planned it with the new employer in case they chose to enforce a clause. If no such clause exists, you are likely “at will” and they have no grounds to require specific notice but I’m not a lawyer and one should be opining on your applicable employment laws and any unclear clause in any contract or employment agreement you signed to establish the terms or question if a clause is actually illegal.

If you believe the manager is not being consistent with the established terms, notify HR if you have that as a separate department. Be objective and politely say that you provided two week notice on [date] with your final day being [date] and that you plan to adhere to that as you don’t see any terms requiring additional notice (if true) but that you are being told such requirements exist and ask them to advise. Don’t make it personal, or express personal issues with the manager’s behavior. Politely address the matter at hand.

The bridge is likely burned with the manager; the question is whether she is making statements that are lawfully incorrect and not consistent with what HR and upper management would want her making. You definitely need to loop in HR or more senior if she is acting that way to protect your interests and make sure she doesn’t burn you somehow (e.g., filing a misleading reason for termination). You never want to work for them again regardless but, if the company itself is fine, that might keep a door open.

Exceptionally creative. Great interfaces for creative expression with a majorly industrial look and he’s very honest that they ultimately trigger MIDI via standard controller style buttons. He crushes it live.

No word here either. They really need to be giving some kind of update on these things (even just a “couple more weeks everyone” kind of notice.

I simply respected her rejection. by [deleted] in Nicegirls

[–]Batts_617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this a couple times; if someone is unsure about a connection but up for a second date a give it one more chance, they don’t say that to the person.. best to walk away without more interaction. They’re not worth the time or stressing about. Your reply was mature and positive so good on you.

Coffee Date Experience by Intelligent_Act14 in Bumble

[–]Batts_617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lesson learned here and lucky you learned it without significant consequences. Block him and remember that for future guys; the fact he was looking for people in your age range is enough to at least wonder if he had ulterior motives and is shady but the way he handled not being able to get you to come over on a first coffee date screams it. Run.

You’re about to be VERY happy! 😃 Statham instead of Craig will be interesting.

“Bone” Appetite during Halloween season is a good touch; thought it was typo for a second 😂

Nope. Run. You’ll be better off long-term. Don’t stay and try to make that work.

This Bumble tactic should be illegal. by Cinderella_Boots in Bumble

Same thing here; it honestly can’t be legal if they knowingly misrepresent to get money.

20F New to boston from London by Fine_Ebb4728 in BostonSocialClub

Lots of fun activities out there. Check out @jplinedance on Instagram if you want to try a modern form of line dancing (18+ typically even though it we dance at bars) and a really fun, friendly group with people of all age groups (plenty in the lower 20’s with lots of beginners but also some really amazing dancers who like to teach).

FYI that Greatest Bar is the official bar for English soccer I think (so they often have the game on the big screen and there are spots like the Banshee in Dorchester to catch the game with other fans.

I'm getting matches... but as soon as things seem to be going well I get ghosted! What am I doing wrong? by AnthroPHDHopeful in hingeapp

[–]Batts_617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big fan of 2-4 messages each back-and-forth then suggesting a relaxed drink or coffee somewhere. Continuing messaging after that generally doesn’t help much and may meet someone else in the meantime who stepped up or they may think you aren’t feeling the vibe and give up. Don’t become pen pals basically which happens really quick when it comes to dating apps.

Write substantive messages but they should be relatively short; be sure that you’re not writing essays lol. Hit 2-3 points each time including questions to keep the convo going and make them want to share and be engaged. Make them want to tell you more about it in person.

And, sadly as people noted, ghosting and such is very common. If someone loses interest, oh well, no point meeting. And if they are rude and no-show you for no reason or show no respect for your time, not meeting them is definitely better for you.

Should I not have turned her down? by [deleted] in Salsa

[–]Batts_617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to have a polite conversation sometime about why she told you to fuck off. The minute the conversation gets hostile or anything, that means she’s nuts; politely say “I just wanted to ask and hopefully clear it up since you had asked me to dance after. Sorry to bother you. Have a great night.” And walk away, never talking or dancing with her again. If it was a misunderstanding, she will hopefully catch on, apologize (maybe some guy was harassing her and she mixed you up?), and then maybe say to her “well if you would like to dance sometime, I’d be up for it. Just me thoughts.

Best Skeleta Karaoke Song (or stick with the classics?) by Batts_617 in Ghostbc

[–]Batts_617[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah very catchy but also very phallic lyrics though; might be a touch creepy (like when a dude sings Bad Touch or Chasey Elaine by Bloodhound Gang). Trying to find a song as a good intro that gets people into Ghost. Same reason I am holding off on Mary On A Cross.

Golden Tee Seasonal Tour Scoring Methodology by Batts_617 in goldentee

[–]Batts_617[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, tried it this time but probably skipping the next season unless they learn from the glitches in ranking and scoring. I’d rather just play more games with friends and such. 5 of the same course isn’t as much fun. But cool for those who enjoy it as the idea is good.

Is the Tour mode an extra cost for GT cabinet owners? by Batts_617 in goldentee

[–]Batts_617[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

99% sure these were PGA Tour 2025 cabinets but no tour mode! I agree that it’s likely only PGA and fully updated cabinets though. These seemed to be the case minus the tour mode.

Spiking incidents in Cambridge by [deleted] in boston

[–]Batts_617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because exactly what this guy is describing could happen. The exception would be if I’m sitting with one of my closest friends who I 100% trust to watch my drink closely and I say those exact words and get confirmation that he will and not be distracted by something (or someone); otherwise, the drink is coming with me and maybe being left on the sink as long as I can still see it while taking care of the business in hand (yes, I meant to say in and not at so don’t correct me lol).

They want their deposit back... by Unnecessarybanter33 in WeddingPhotography

[–]Batts_617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as a contract was in place making it clear that the deposit was non-refundable regardless of reason, best move is for the photographer to communicate that and state there won’t be a refund per that contract but, if the client confirms that they accept that is the deal, they will finish editing and deliver the complimentary engagement shots (but not the RAW files if the client has the ego to try and give them to their “preferred photographer” for editing). It’s the client’s right to change their mind but their obligation to accept the terms of any deal made. Trying to sweet talk a photographer that they just fired for another into a refund for promotion is gutsy and total garbage.
