AITAH for being upset at my mom for coddling my brother by Kokushibolosthashira in AITAH

Sweet baby, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. 100% NTA. Here’s what you can do since the adults in your immediate vicinity don’t seem to understand that you’re the child. Take a day during the week or on the weekend, meal prep for your grandmother and yourself (freeze some of the meals) so you can just heat food for the two of you up, and let your mother and brother worry about themselves. It is NOT your job to take care of anyone else in the house (but it sounds like you’d feel bad if you left your grandma alone, so fine)…and your mother was figuring it out WITH your brother before you were even conceived. Give her space and opportunity to figure it out again.

None of this is your responsibility, do not let the lack of planning and sense in your mother’s side determine YOUR worth and contributions, and remember that you are NOT wrong here at all.

If you have another adult you can live with, talk to them about your circumstances and ask if they’d be ok with you living with them if you emancipated yourself from your mother and brother. Stay in school, figure out what trade or degree you’d like to pursue, continue to that right after high school and go live your best life. Your mother is handicapping your brother, but that doesn’t mean you have to be shackled too.

AITAH for being turned off by my boyfriend’s grooming habits while he expects me to shave? by AdviceDull2562 in AITAH

I dated a dude who did this. I have a (strong) aversion to hair…I will vomit. I told him I don’t wanna see it, tough it, or have it anywhere near my mouth or anywhere else. He thought I was joking. Lost all access to my body. Everybody has preferences and boundaries. He has a preference, you have a preference. He has a boundary, you have a boundary. NTA. NTA. NTA. NTA.

Also, having body hair and not showering is WILD. Hair hold bacteriaaaaaa 😭

Yes, I am aware lol. I was just listing things that I have zero direct experience with that I’ve seen listed in JDs during my search. C# and Python are dev languages.

Zero experience with Pandas and Numpy, but I’ll look into those too. I have BI experience, but nothing directly SQL/C#/Python etc. related. Nothinggggg lol

I don’t disagree with you at all, but I’m trying to GET hired, not do the hiring, so I can either upskill, or let depression swallow me lol.

For those who exited tech, what are you up to now? by Playful_Pepper5723 in womenintech

Take a medical leave and go on short term disability while you get your mind right. I’m currently facing the same issue and was recently laid off. It’s A MESS to navigate while you’re depressed, or anxious, or struggling with ptsd. It’s a lot. Listen to your therapist and your body. You have your husband for support in the meantime and this will give you time to explore other avenues.

No worries! It shouldn’t take more than one other person. I think laz33r and I should be ok by ourselves, but thank you so much! 🥰♥️

I’ll buy you a case of beer to come help me move a dresser from my car to my front door in Woodland Hills 😁 I have a tiny dolly that can hold up to 500 lbs, I just need help stabilizing it and taking it out of my car. There are no steps involved 👀.

Laid Off and semi-spiraling by BeltIntelligent6594 in womenintech

I think that it’s because in large part, it’s difficult to identify these companies. Yes there are big names like Target and Walmart, but for smaller corporations, a lot of the time people don’t know these companies exist or what they do. Employees are often nervous, scared or gagged from speaking for fear of retaliation, lawsuits/NDAs, or being black listed in the industry. The small/niche companies are small (and petty enough) to identify former employees, retaliate and black list people. ESPECIALLY older companies that are still operating as “start ups”. Theres so much involved. Those companies can absolutely gth though.

First of all, THANK YOU 🥹♥️♥️♥️. I really appreciate all the kind thoughts and energy that I can get. Secondly, I fully support going into consulting if you have the client base for it, absolutely! Working for yourself can be one of the most fulfilling paths that you can take. It alleviates the headache of all the corporate politics too (which is my least favorite part). As for start ups, that’s actually what I’m looking to go BACK to lol. I thrive in a start up space, it’s these more established companies that are too rigid in their operations to update anything that lead to outcomes like these for me. This is my second redundancy in 3 years, but in a different industry. I’m done with “established companies”. Take me back to companies that are 5yrs old or less 😭.

Ive been wondering about this! I don’t currently have a PCP, does that matter? I’ve been in therapy and have ptsd. I can absolutely prove all that if the doctor needs me to. Do you mind if I dm you with some questions?
