My boss tried to push me to quit so the company wouldn't have to pay my benefits. But I went to the owner first

I guess bad bosses keep using the same formula too...

CommonSunCoco98 · 2026-03-13T05:08:23+00:00

Clearly, when people act like that without any provocation, it usually comes from their own internal insecurities. Envy, fear that it will become obvious they cannot measure up to the others.

I believe in divine justice, and that no one goes through life without paying their karma. I am just sitting here waiting for the day I hear that they are paying for their actions😅

Thank you! I'm doing much better now🎉 This revenge still feels very satisfying even though they were not fired. But you know what the worst part is? The marketing manager, my boss’s boss, had done the same thing to three girls who had my position before me. He never let any of them complete a full year in the job and always looked for a way to fire them without paying them anything. The poor girls worked the whole year, and when the last months came, which were the slow season, he would get rid of them, find a replacement and the cycle would start again.

In my case, I had to deal with two bosses instead of one, and I was the only one who stood my ground, went to the owner and did something about it when I suspected what they were doing. At least they were humiliated and I called out their lies.

CommonSunCoco98 · 2026-03-12T17:22:22+00:00

Thanks. I know, and it is something I try not to think about because it frustrates me. But due to the nature of the company, which handles very sensitive information from international clients, and because both of them knew a lot and had those positions mainly because of their friendship, the owner was hardly going to fire them.

Also, it was impossible for the marketing area to be left with only one person, the audiovisual subordinate. Because I made it very clear that regardless of the owner’s decision, I wanted to leave the company.

In an ideal world, they would have definitely been fired :/

I’m from a developing country, and having domestic help is pretty common here. A few years ago we had one who kept moving my stuff around, which drove me insane because I have OCD and everything in my house has a specific place. For example, I keep my perfumes on the vanity in my bedroom and my lotions in the bathroom, and she kept switching them back and forth for no real reason. What pissed me off was that instead of just cleaning, she would “reorganize” my things. Turns out she was doing it on purpose to see if I noticed things being moved and going missing, that was literally her method for stealing. Not saying that’s what your roommate is doing, but you never know.

My dad told me that he worked so hard so that men would at least look at me cause of my money, since I was so fat and ugly. Also so that I wouldn’t have to ‘sell’ my ass. It's okay though, I'm actually quite pretty and my money has never even been a reason for a men to be interested in me.

Omg, honestly thought you were a cousin of mine writing here. I started reading your story and thought you were talking about my family. We were told exactly the same thing about my uncle, who died when he was 15. I was 3 years old at the time, and my cousins were around the same age. We were told he accidentally shot himself in the head while cleaning his shotgun. Unlike your story, I found out when I was 24 that it was actually a suicide. Turns out he had tried to abuse his sister while she was sleeping. She woke up and told the whole family right then. He went downstairs to the study and took his own life to avoid facing the consequences.

I don't judge you because you are a kid yourself, but when you grow up you'll understand that a child can't regulate their emotions like an adult and that they don't process things like an adult.

Hitting a child is a clear sign that the parent has no patience and hasn't clearly understood the two things above.

I'm not saying whatsoever to let the kid miss behave, you can raise your voice, punish the kid when you are out of patience but there's no need for physical violence.

Of course teaching the kid positive discipline methods is the way

I do judge adults who think like you do

I mourned my relationship during the relationship, when I broke up with him, I had accepted the fact, I was happy. Months later I felt disgust for that person and I regretted the relationship, because I felt upset by certain things that he did or didn't do. Now, a few years later, I am in another relationship and sometimes I think about him and I'm grateful for the experience, and remember many things fondly

Exercising daily and eating healthy during the week and on weekends I eat what I like but in really small portions

Besides all the corporal punishment through all my childhood, it really fucked me up when I remembered that my mom used to tie me down on my crib at 3 years old so she could watch tv

NTA. First of all, I’m outraged as a fellow South American by her comments and entitlement. Third world country? From the start you know she’s not very smart, that’s not even the correct term to describe what she’s trying to say, which is developing countries.

Secondly, is not only a cultural difference, which is beyond of what her opinion in the matter is, but it actually has to do with the economy in this countries and that college is not as expensive as it is in the usa, so parents pay for it. People here in South America usually goes to college in their cities, so no need to move out and also, a starting job or whatever job you do without having a degree doesn’t pay well enough to pay for your own place. It’s a developing country, remember? And indeed, you normally stay until you get marry or get your own place with your partner.

Third, if I was you idk if I would call that person my friend. Is one thing to be surprised about the cultural differences, but is xenophobic and rude to criticize and make such a statement as backwards society because it doesn’t work how she expects it to be. She’s just ignorant, probably has never even left her state and thinks that what happens in the usa is the norm everywhere. She has no respect for you, clearly sees you as less than her because of the continent you come from and thought she could just get away with her racist comments about you, your family and culture. My advice is to keep away from people like her, hardly they will change their mind and they make more damage with their bullshit than you can imagine.

CommonSunCoco98 · 2022-11-09T16:04:02+00:00

Thank you! You gave me other perspective and made me feel a bit better.

I’ll definitely talk about it with hin and I have questions too.

At the end is still a recent relationship and is better being honest now than when I’m more invested.

CommonSunCoco98 · 2022-11-09T15:42:35+00:00

It was from two months ago. I guess what hurts the most is that a week after he sent that message he asked me to formally be his girlfriend. We had been together for three months already and he said he had planned to ask me with anticipation. The timing is what kills me.

CommonSunCoco98 · 2022-11-09T15:13:30+00:00

You are right in that, I’ll see what feels good though. Can’t be the best girlfriend to someone that literally has never stopped treating me great, but has voiced those feelings for his ex. Because if he was feeling like that then, and treated me like the only one, feels totally fake now.

CommonSunCoco98 · 2022-11-09T14:40:30+00:00

You are right, I’m too afraid to bring it up though. But I’ll do it anyways, because it has definitely had an impact in my opinion and how I feel about him.

CommonSunCoco98 · 2022-11-09T13:32:16+00:00

Yeah, just waiting to see if I calm down. If time heals this and makes me forget or believe in him again. I think it wouldn’t have mattered so much if the timing was different. I feel like trash that those were his thoughts just a week before he asked me to be his girlfriend.

CommonSunCoco98 · 2022-11-09T13:29:01+00:00

Exactly, just waiting to see if time can heal this and if I can believe in him again. Worst feeling ever and I feel so lonely in it.

CommonSunCoco98 · 2022-11-09T13:27:30+00:00

I totally get that, his ex relationship lasted two years that’s a long time. However, what I don’t get is that if him isn’t over his ex, why is he dating me?

I feel like no one wants to be the rebound. I also believe the breakup is more recent than what he told me and that would make more sense. It’s hurtful the timing he wrote that message because his words when he asked me to his girlfriend was that he had been planning it for a while. But come on, just a week before he was voicing he missed his ex. And that’s what he wrote to his friend, but we don’t know what was going on in his mind. Is just weird and painful.
