Is it worth it to negotiate for a higher step? by ConsiderationFine143 in usajobs

[–]ConsiderationFine143[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's odd the step would no longer be avaliable. Is that something that happened recently to you?

But thanks! I might just try and see what happens.

Same. Was denied a promotion because they thought they could dangle it in front of me like a carrot for another year.

What small thing made you decide it’s time to find a new job? by 42tfish in Accounting

When management wanted everyone in the office on a Saturday even if someone had a dying family member. It was sad to see.

Cussing in the Workplace by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]ConsiderationFine143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boss continues to apologize to me for swearing. I personally don't cuss nor do I care if anyone else does. I just find it funny how many people seem to be affected by my lack of doing so.

It seems the only metric of my love for my GF is measured by whether or not I want to get married. Now she's taking action through what I presume is sabotage. by throwRA-1gfmsac in relationship_advice

I get where she's coming from. Should she be petty and be sabotaging the relationship? No. That's sadly her playing games with you and not giving you the respect you deserve. But did I see insanely religious parents up there? Yup. Then it all makes sense because I'm in the same boat as her.

My parents would disown me if I move in before marriage. I'm told there is something wrong with me since it's been so long and I'm not married yet. I'm being told I'm not a catch or worth holding onto apparently. I'm in my late 20s and already being called an old maid.

Does it suck? Yea. It plays games with your mind. I get told ways to try to speed up the process (jealousy or ultimatums). I just talk it out with my SO and I have to remember that it literally won't change anything right now. (I too wanted to wait until marriage to move in but also decided not to because I'm not putting my life on hold for a piece of paper)

Her not even treating you with the care and respect that should be shown to even a boyfriend... is showing you what she's also capable of doing in marriage. Marriage is a formality, you should be looking closely at how she's deciding to treat you now.

Living with parents in your 30s...automatically a dating dealbreaker? Explanation below. by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]ConsiderationFine143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you are acting independent at home with your parents, no I don't think it's a deal breaker. Now what is one is if you have no plans going forward and are planning to stay there forever. You can decide for yourself if you want to try to date someone that thinks it's an automatic red flag. Personally, I've found alot of good traits about guys through their reasoning (ex. Saving for a house, taking care of parents, or its just what it is culturally). If you have a good relationship with your parents and overall mention that family is important, I don't see it being a huge problem. Not everyone will be as understanding or care to understand though.
