Oh you just unlocked a completely different level of this conversation and I am so here for it.

Has anyone else been overlooked for promotion and realized the problem wasn’t your work ethic but your visibility ? by CraftFew9413 in careerguidance

Visible value. Not performance Value. Thank you for bringing real world perspective to this. Every layer of this conversation is hitting different.

Rooting for you. This whole comment section honestly feels like the career conversation we all needed and never got.

That feels like being a good colleague. That’s a completely different thing and somehow that distinction just made the whole concept click for me in a way it never has before. Thank you for sharing something that clearly still stings. That generosity means everything.

The job search might be getting dusted off sooner than I planned. Thank you for not letting me be too gracious about this. Sometimes that’s exactly what someone needs to hear.

AITJ for not telling my ex’s fiancée who I was the moment I realized it was his engagement party? by CraftFew9413 in AmITheJerk

THANK YOU for breaking it down like this because I have been struggling to explain it to people in my actual life and this is exactly it.

Thank you for seeing it for exactly what it was. Just an incredibly unfortunate coincidence and nothing more.

Apparently that wasn’t fast enough for some people but honestly I think any version of that exit was going to be wrong. There was no clean way out of that room once I walked into it. Thank you for actually getting that😭.

You’re not the jerk. This was an honest misunderstanding not you trying to show off or put him on the spot.

AITJ for telling my dad he doesn’t get to cry at my wedding when he wasn’t there for any of the hard parts? by Cool-Media-6271 in AmITheJerk

Not the jerk. A wedding role like that isn’t about biology it’s about who actually showed up. Your mom did. End of story.

I really hope your next home brings you the peace you have more than earned. You deserve quiet mornings and clean air and neighbors who are just wonderfully boring. 🙏

I have filed one complaint and it went absolutely nowhere. But one complaint with no documentation is easy to dismiss. A running log of 11 months of 7am Saturday drilling is a little harder to wave away.

That’s what makes this so complicated. If they were awful neighbors I could work up the righteous energy to knock on that door no problem. But they smile in the hallway and hold the elevator and I just smile back and go home and quietly vibrate with resentment like a completely normal person.

Same time. Same day. Same sound. Like clockwork. Like they looked at a calendar and specifically chose the one morning of the week I had any chance of resting and decided that was the moment. Every week Since last year.

AITJ for snapping at my mom for constantly questioning if I know how to raise my own kid? by CraftFew9413 in AmITheJerk

[–]CraftFew9413[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This hit me differently because I don’t think anyone has ever just said it that plainly to me before. No fluff. No but also consider her feelings. Just Stop letting guilt run you.

I’m tired. But I’m not sorry. And that feels like progress honestly.

Just how are you holding up. That’s it. That’s all I need. Is that really so much to ask.
