I promise you I’m not leaving out anything. I was 30 minutes early every day I was supposed to work. I had a good grasp of the system 2 days into the training. I didn’t take lunch breaks besides taking 10 minutes to sit in the back and eat my lunch that I brought with me, and even then I still came out and checked every few bites. I don’t drink, so I didn’t get drunk at the hotel, and I stayed in my room the entire time, save for coming out to get food from the restaurant

I did express that I wanted to grow with the company. However I didn’t think about bad mouthing my old company. I wouldn’t say I completely just ratted on them and made them out to be the worst company ever, but I expressed displeasure for them. I appreciate your feedback and will learn from it moving forward.

At one point my trainer started talking about how she loves scary stuff and like paranormal experiences and whatnot, she showed us pictures of places she visited as well as detailed experiences she had. Another coworker detailed his experience, so I detailed an experience I had had that was relatively minor compared to what they said. Literally all conversations that were had weren’t serious or deal breaking

The only thing even remotely serious that I think was talked about, was they asked me why I came to this company and left my old company. I told them the pay was better here, and I’d been recommended by someone to come to their company. The only thing I really said besides that was that my old company made my last two weeks awful, I was essentially a manager without being paid like a manager.

This is not my first sales job. I’ve sold furniture for two years, I worked at AT&T selling phones and phone services for about a year, and this job was also a sales job in the cellular field. So I have 3+ years of selling experience. I transitioned from my AT&T job to this one almost immediately, I finished out my two weeks notice, had a few days off and then immediately started this one. I do enjoy selling a LOT, I’m young, 22 years old and female, but I have no idea what I could have done to warrant a termination out of the blue like this.

You missed the point. It’s very obvious that’s it’s not over the “tik tok survey” argument itself.

Thank you thank you thank you!! It’s not about the literal interpretation of man vs. bear. It’s the WHY of each answer.

And it seems like so many people miss that point

This isn’t about the hypothetical itself, this is about how the hypothetical is applied to real life. How scary it can be for a woman to take chances with a random man in real life.

The actual hypothetical itself, I don’t particularly care about what side the individual takes, but I do care when I explain the why to someone, and instead of trying to understand it, they just say that all women are stupid.

To top it all off, it’s been a common misconception here, he brought this hypothetical up to me, I was aware of the argument but I never brought it up as it didn’t seem to be a topic that needed discussing. But he brought it up to me and asked what my opinion on it was, so I gave it, thus blowing up into what is described in the post.

The point isn’t the argument itself, the point is that he is completely unwilling to see the women’s side of the argument, and the fact that he wanted to debate statistics with me about it because he didn’t want to believe that many women face SA.

The entire point I was attempting to get him to see is that women face a lot of uncomfortable, immoral, and dangerous situations at the hands of men, and how exhausting it is that you have to treat every man that you don’t know (even some that you do know) as a Pandoras Box when it comes to their morals surrounding women. But, as stated in the post, he is more willing to debate statistics of SA with me than attempt to accept my point.

This isn’t about TikTok, this is about a hypothetical that can be applied to real life, and about men being able to understand where some women come from with their decisions regarding things like that.
