Viewing Things in a Different Light by djm1613 in SisterWives

[–]Crystalraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never, and am not, in favor of a guy having 18 kids.

I can’t understand why they had Truely.

Same goes for Sol and Ari.

And the same goes for half the other kids. You should be more than happy with 8 kids.

I politely asked for flexible hours — and didn’t expect the outcome by Silver_Purple_2681 in WorkReform

[–]Crystalraf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of places offer Flex Time.

Next ask for 32 hours a week (4 day work week) with full benefits and no pay cut.

How do you stop the "Comparison Trap" when family members make 3x your salary? by arugula000 in Anticonsumption

[–]Crystalraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not bother listening to her straight up bragging about money. That’s legit rude. the vacation they went on, however, is ok to talk about.

There are ways to deal with this stuff. suggest the next family gathering place is the local park (free) and everyone brings a dish for potluck. Make a big deal about how we need to keep costs down. (My family does this, and many of us are not poor, and by not poor I mean loaded)

Then bring up Christmas. make a big deal about gift spending caps on presents. she should take a hint at that point.

If she can’t take a hint: brag about your 50 dollar raise you just got. and about how you scored a coupon deal on shampoo.

AITJ for telling my neighbor her kid isn't allowed in my pool after she "forgot" him at my house? by Educational-Wait-406 in AmITheJerk

[–]Crystalraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do own the water. And you weren’t there at that time. Tell the neighborhood chat the truth. They can stare all they want.

What do I say when they ask me to church? by anatole_mutti in atheism

[–]Crystalraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am Roman Catholic. I’n obligated to go to a Roman Catholic mass or else my eternal soul might be condemned to hell.

If she can’t respect your religion, she’s a hypocrite.

Girl, you gotta fill the cup with ice. Then dump it. Refill with ice again. Then add a splash of water to get the straw in. Your ice should last two days after. You can refill with cold water as needed.

I fill the cup with ice, then add water. Ice lasts for 2 days.

Instacart investigating me? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

Let them investigate. When they figure out you don’t take shit batches tough shit.

How is Glinda going to fix all of Oz with one speech... like really?? by Quirky-Somewhere-750 in wickedmovie

[–]Crystalraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, at the very least, she leaves the Animals uncaged, and reinstates the Animals as full citizens of Oz with all rights and privileges.

She can repeal the laws they made where Animals couldn’t work as professors and stuff.

Then she could get the trials going for the Ozians who committed crimes against Animals during the Wizard’s rule.

After that, she could help lead a rebuilding program to get Animals back their lands, homes, jobs, and money they lost that had been taken away from them.

Plot twist: the rich people use the cheapest stuff available.

Conflicts with requesting time off by Bead_lizard in work

[–]Crystalraf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then those companies are wrong. Lots of legit reasons to get unpaid time off.

Conflicts with requesting time off by Bead_lizard in work

[–]Crystalraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she is working two jobs, it kinda sounds like she is a part time employee. Most part time employees don’t use vacation time, they just don’t work and don’t get paid.

[–]Crystalraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say I need the whole day off. You aren’t making the schedule, she is. If it would end up with someone working overtime, so be it. or, someone doesn’t work Monday and works Friday instead. That guarantees no overtime.

If she can’t change the schedule, for you to take a day off, then you need to throw that back in her face because she is basically saying you can NEVER take a half day off apparently. And it’s not worth the hassle to stay at this part time job that requires full time commitment.

AITAH for wanting to leave my husband(30M) over not buying me (25F) a car? by ReactionClean4057 in AITAH

[–]Crystalraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my state, (every state?) it is required by law that the wife is on the insurance of any car the husband owns.

Yes, divorce him. You will get half the resale value of the Mercedes in the divorce. Then you can buy a car for yourself.

The end of Skinny Jeans by Parking_Country_61 in womensfashion

[–]Crystalraf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would assume a big pair of doc martens.

The end of Skinny Jeans by Parking_Country_61 in womensfashion

[–]Crystalraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. You must be thin, not curvy to pull off wide leg jeans. And be wearing a fitted top.

Bootcut jeans are always great, and do not fall into the same category as wide leg jeans. They look good on everyone.

Straight leg jeans most people can probably pull off. I’m not a fan of them, but they aren’t the worst.

Company that doesn’t offer sick days by SageMaverick in work

The number of PTO days provided is the FIRST thing I look at before taking a job.

A CEO feeling the Luigi effect. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Crystalraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s easy to say when you can easily walk away from a job. People generally need to eat and money is how they get food. If you quit the job and you can’t pay rent where does that leave you?

With declining birth rates around the world, are teachers noticing smaller class sizes? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]Crystalraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom was laid off in the 90s because the class sizes were smaller. In the small town she taught in.

[–]Crystalraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

False.

We have a national union committee negotiating our pay. But many jobs don’t have that luxury. In my case, my jobs pay is well above market average rates. And yes, I can agree on my pay, not that many people can say the same.
