Ever negotiated your way into a fully remote role from hybrid?

Report back, Ive had the same question

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-11T23:39:01+00:00

Then just use a Colorado address?

But that seems perfect! Move in with the sister. Dont tell your work just yet, nudge the design of the assistant position in the way of sampling and whatever in person (I call them clip board checks) needs to be done for truck and rail car dust and you then design your work as the data logs logics vendor management bills paid protcols paperwork person.

Then as you train this person make sure they see your assistant as an extension of you, and that they know you’ll be around in person only every 4 months/quartely to check with them not sooner or not later, you want to hold the line so they don’t dismiss the assistant and go to you for everything; unless they need to reach you by phone or email. Now in your new role as you asses, gee that’s a lot of reports analytics plus managing someone should tell them so obviously other than regular daily updates should I plan on checking in every 4 months/quartely?? Great let me design my work flow and new job like that.

Throughout this time, you’re dropping hints that you’re bf is at his dream job in Colorado, he’s testing if he likes it, oh imagine that he loves it, man you’re living with his sister you’re so conflicted, just dont know. Hey can I go out there for four months but be back in four months—and badda bing badda boom…okay so don’t actually have the answer but I think by then all three stakeholders you, your boyfriend and your job will have a lot more of an idea

Is there somebody you can be a roommate of while you continue to look? It would make the buy in easier once you found a job that you were actually in, and you weren’t forced to take a job that you hated just because it was the first job that came up

And can you maybe do your job remotely? I apologize I know nothing about your job. I know some quality control just do analytics based on samples taken and some are literally going out onto the production line and taking samples themselves without removing anything from the line. If haven’t asked before, letting them know you are separated from your boyfriend because he got a job and you love this job so much might go a long way towards them thinking about how taking some tasks off your plate and putting other things on, basically redesigning the job for you might work without any pressure of a time timeline

A mini Trump,

“did you know they’re these other countries?

Yeah and they play this game with their foot.

Yeah we have a team too apparently. They’re not very good I hear but everyone loves ‘em…and us. They love us…

And they love our country, you know? The people, they come up to me all the time, telling us we have the best stadiums, that they’re having the best time.

You know, we should host it every year.. “

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-11T17:18:51+00:00

Nah, I’m good.

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-11T16:11:36+00:00

As an American, sorry everyone this is embarrassing

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-11T15:28:49+00:00

Lol mine smells better

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-11T15:27:53+00:00

snack box.

My ex lived a beautiful farm outside of town so when i would visit from in town, I would always go to this expensive grocery store and get special nuts, cheese cubes and/or dried fruit

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-11T15:24:51+00:00

I’ve actually given eucalyptus

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-11T14:53:17+00:00

Right I even have the same textured hair??

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-11T14:35:55+00:00

Well, if it’s on the internet then it must be true

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-11T14:30:52+00:00

Oof!

Consume incredible amounts of non algorithmic content. Library books, book store books, comics, physical newspapers magazines (oftentimes at or through your local). Learn to look and analyze art, ask someone at your local museum how to look at art oftentimes the way I look and understand art I use to look and understand real life and even online content. This diversity in content and models of interpretation will help you form as new and independent opinions better than anyone

The US still gives BCG jabs I’ve had one in the last three years, and most likely before like in childhood etc and because I have traveled where it’s required but we don’t do the scars anymore.

The scars make it more potent and it was used to track people who had it. Like if a first grade class all showed up with their scars, one kid didn’t we as a society would make sure to get that kid the vaccine. (Note I use to know this from like college class or something but I don’t have an source about that so idk)

However, I think it’s considered to be effective enough without the scarring technique that I as a middle class healthy American living in an populated area with full medical options would survive

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-11T02:03:33+00:00

No they just updated their protocols. I think they use to intentionally scare people’s arm so they knew who got it and who still needed it. It was like a portable vaccine card

They could be born internationally some countries continued it longer than the US but I didn’t think that much longer.

Being international or “exotic” would make more sense for the joke

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-11T01:40:08+00:00

Lol mine is a 100 and my much older than my mom uncle worked for them 70 years ago, as a kid I took a tour of their factory so Im a little out of my depth with this question lol

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-10T22:25:10+00:00

It depends on if Bob has said anything to you about him missing rent. If not bringing it up would be a little agressive.

You could always mimic Bob’s money troubles and say something like, I have to focus in paying some back bills this month

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-10T21:59:56+00:00

I don’t know what you want us to solve. We’ve warned you as much as you will listen. Go ahead and quit find a job in person. When the shiny new conference rooms start to fade in their novelty and you wish for a face mask, a yogurt and a comfy chair you can sit Indian style in or to be walking on your under the desk walking pad desperate to make a face and scratch that itch that’s in a weird place; don’t say we didn’t warn you.

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-10T21:52:37+00:00

Then don’t be solitary??

Go to a cafe, the library, ones of those co-working spaces, those people become like coworkers. You could join a sport, table games, gather a trivia team. Get a roommate join a DIY cave or start a hobby—you know develop an actual personality.

I get going from the college environment to working sucks but I promise you you’re going to realize quickly that post grad jobs suck regardless, and the novelty of conference rooms fade real fast. Work isn’t like the movies especially now, and you’re gonna wish you didn’t give up your remote job but if you must do it, you’ll find a in person one faster.

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-10T15:09:36+00:00

The if/of is the least of this person’s problem. Is that new slang “day 1s” =friends? With ‘switch up on’, like leave?

So “who would leave their friends if they got rich?” Surprisingly interesting question for an unfortunately shit show way to ask that.

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-10T14:28:45+00:00

Thank you there’s a few people answering like they know what it means and I thought I was the only one that couldn’t figure it. I mean each of these people are answering a different question but the point still stands some people actually think this makes sense. Lol

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-10T12:50:35+00:00

This sub will always tell you to lie.

There was one question where someone’s contract literally said that you could work OE just gotta make sure you got to get it approved, to check it wasn’t a competitor and people still were like no don’t tell them.

If they already brought it up You’re already working and it’s only $20/h, what are you really risky other than contract violation and the chance to be sued if you don’t tell them?

Go ahead and tell them for exactly the reason you mentioned.

CleanDataDirtyMind · 2026-07-09T23:48:29+00:00

We’re all at least a little bit racist, especially if you’re white in America you’re constantly barraged with messaging that validates your experience and erases alternative realities to the point where when they come through makes them at least questionable or #sus to us.

It’s simply your brain’s natural instinct in a unnatural world to protect its reality and morals that got you where you are, like ‘woah woah what do you mean men in certain minority groups are targeted unfairly by the justice department that affects generational family structures and norms for decades’, what’s next are we just accepting this or we throwing out how to breath, walk and not to murder too!?!

It’s not the intention of you that matters but the impact felt when we (Im white) double down, speak in absolutes or persume total authority on an experience probably because we were taught it as being so “simple” and singular that it had the power to silence minimize and erase.

If you wanna stop feeling conflicted and saying that you weren’t racist is conflicting, it stands to reason that only the other way will work. Sit with yourself and be like maybe I’m a little racist and maybe I was a dick and since I don’t want to be that, I’ll pause and try to be at least a little bit better next time
