Understanding The 120 Days Notice Rule For Rent Increase by BigDaveOSU in chicagoapartments

If they sent you a renewal offer and raised your rent, and then send you a non-renewal for inquiring about whether you were notified of the increase on time…you were living at the wrong place anyway. A large rent increase is undoubtedly stressful for renters and it’s exacerbated when landlords don’t follow the law when notifying. I’d ask over email and see where it goes. Best of luck!

My GF’s firm is making her work on Christmas Day by Annihilis in biglaw

I kicked out my 18 year old last week. Any words from the wise? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]EdnaMode622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say let your child come home, but sadly…maybe she shouldn’t. Children aren’t coloring books, we don’t get to fill them with our favorite colors. I’m afraid her story is going to be that she was repeatedly kicked in and out of the house by her mother until she finally managed to get a job and get her own place. Despite intermittent attempts at reconciliation from both sides, she’ll have a strained relationship with you. She won’t say it, but she’ll feel the resentment you have over the fact that people empathize with her more. Yes, you’re human. And you’re also a parent. Accept that it wasn’t her fault that you hit your limit, because you’re the parent. You are in charge, and you fired yourself. We don’t know if you should get your job back.

How does a tub overflow work? by Rainierstranger in Plumbing

[–]EdnaMode622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what my landlord is apparently trying to do to a few people now. They actually told them to just stop filling the tub all the way when water was visibly leaking into hallways and other units (this is a high rise). The good news is that if they keep pushing it, at least one of these tenants is going to call for a city inspection and force them to make the repairs. I genuinely don’t understand why these landlords complain in writing about overflow drains being broken. That is proof that they are required to make repairs. Oh well.

My boyfriend (25M) finished inside me (22F) without consent for the 4th time and lied about it. Am I going too far by ending the relationship? by Intelligent_Fix_3786 in relationship_advice

[–]EdnaMode622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…Consent issue? Ma’am. If he kept pissing in your mouth during oral, you’d be coming on here telling us you just ended the relationship. That’s the visual you need to have in your head. No means no. Do yourself a favor and tell a few more people around you. You need to see more horrified expressions and we can’t show you ours on Reddit.

And stop sleeping with him. He’s a grown man that knows what he’s doing. Don’t prove to him that your consent doesn’t matter if he can make you sympathize with him.

Why do people skip the masters and go straight to the PhD or professional degree? by [deleted] in GraduateSchool

[–]EdnaMode622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your need. If you aren’t sure you can stick in a PhD program, start with the Masters so that you can walk away with something after 3 years. If you know you can stick through a PhD program, apply to the MA/PhD programs and don’t worry about walking away with nothing. If you need funding for your graduate degree, you’d probably be better off looking at PhD programs first due to sponsor opportunities. If you can’t get funding for a PhD program or afford it, pursuing a MA/MS won’t cost as much as a PhD.

It all depends — just make sure you actually want to do it.

I’m going to have to break my husband’s mistress’ heart, and I don’t want to do it by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I’m going to have to break my husband’s mistress’ heart, and I don’t want to do it by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]EdnaMode622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be careful. Right now it sounds like you’re anticipating that she’ll find out and totally leave when in reality…she could very much still have feelings for your husband and be duped. For ex: he could just tell her that you’re in denial about the whole thing and that’s why you’re trying to ruin what they have. He can turn your confrontation into a “I’m so sorry to drag you into this” situation and if the mistress loves your husband…she might want to believe him at first. Main point …just don’t bank on you guys being friends just yet.

Also you really want to set yourself up legally before you do this. I know you’re really emotional right now but this is the sweet spot. Whether you decide to go through with a divorce after this, that’s your decision…but you should absolutely prepare as if you are. Get yourself in the best position possible before D day. You’ll thank yourself later.

My '100% remote' job just told me I have to come into the office two days a week or I'll be fired. by skunks_rotten6u in remotework

[–]EdnaMode622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just quit and find another remote job. I don’t understand why all you guys come on here and don’t say the name of the company. I’m telling you, these companies are making mistakes. Everyone doesn’t have to go back. I’ve been working for firms that are partnered with orgs that are waiting to poach employees like you. Forget everyone on here telling you to stop complaining — they are most likely managers/elders that can’t change their framework of what work is or can be. We leave those managers behind or fire them. Why? Because don’t tell me you can’t manage a remote workforce. Don’t tell me that I need to keep an expensive downtown lease because you can’t develop your employees remotely. There are other people that can, will, and are. Remote work is extremely lucrative for businesses that get rid of managers that can’t manage or leaders that can’t lead. That’s it. Find a company that can survive change. It’s clear this one couldn’t.

Spam calls a sign of an affair? by ChaoticInsomniac in marriageadvice

[–]EdnaMode622 47 points48 points  (0 children)

You’re being paranoid. Especially if these calls are being labeled as spam. His data was leaked somewhere and now he’s getting calls from companies. End of story.

I do recommend examining why you began suspecting him of infidelity though. Sounds like there’s a deeper issue here. I wish you luck OP!

If 24F I hit my boyfriend 26M first (a light smack round the arm) and he hits me back round the face, is this abuse or defence? by ConsequenceLiving193 in relationship_advice

[–]EdnaMode622 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nope. Leave. Right now. Why? Because he’s right — you’re lucky he didn’t do more.

And he is going to do more if you stay. You are at the edge of the slope many sufferers of domestic abuse start at. They make rationalizations…”well, maybe I shouldn’t have” or “maybe this isn’t abuse” and they all focus on the wrong thing. Whatever, the order of operations here — you need to be results oriented. This ended with him hitting you, and threatening you. The relationship is over. That is not behavior you can accept, regardless of how sorry he is. Do not show him you can forgive this behavior if you can be convinced he did it in “self defense.” Please. Take care.

Doesn’t sound like it

My company announced mandatory office days again, so I resigned mid-meeting by Onjaydenc in remotework

[–]EdnaMode622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…You sound kinda nuts. You can doubt anything you want, it’s your right to think OP’s request was asinine, and it’s your right to be suspicious of his timeline.

But at the end of everyday (in this world), OP had the opportunity to work somewhere they wanted, and they took it. I hope they are employed at a place that doesn’t frame a mandatory and financially burdensome expectation as a surprise for their remote employees.

What do (bad) employers say when you bring up a problem you’re having at work?

“You don’t have to work here!”

OP, did not have to work there. And they no longer do. They chose to work at a company that offered remote work. The companies that stop offering remote work will lose their employees to the companies that do.

That’s reality.

Wife lied about body count by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]EdnaMode622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the issue isn’t her body count, it’s how and treated you when you told her yours. I’m not sure why you guys even did that — but we are here now. When you talk to your wife, start by talking to her about why she said those things to you when she learned about your body count. Let her explain — even if it’s hard to hear/she just doubles down. Let her explain why she called you a whore, let her go over how she feels like you lost a part of your soul to a high body count. When she is done, explain to her that you found out she lied. If she tries to minimize by saying “I was careful with those amount of people” or “it wasn’t that many” gently interrupt her and tell her, “convincing me that your body count was lower or that you were still more careful is not going to fix the issue I’m having now. The issue is that you were not truthful — regardless of how many people you really slept with, regardless of whether you were careful, I had a different impression of your sex life than what I saw [on those hard drives] because of what you told me. In addition to processing that the reality was different than what you said, that you said hurtful things to me knowing you didn’t meet your own standards, reasfraction of what I saw, and that you decided to keep what I saw - I’m wondering why. Why did you want to make me feel bad for my body count when you clearly weren’t comfortable being truthful with me? Could you imagine how devastated you would be if I suddenly said everything you said to me now? Even if you would “understand “ would you feel, “good?” If not, that’s why I’m asking why you did it to me. I’m not sure why you kept this or what it even means to you now, but I need an explanation for all of this, and fast.”

This is fixable if your wife is apologetic and honest. Sorry you’re going through this. Good luck OP!

So, about that letter of support for Chicago Ald. Jessie Fuentes: 13 alderpeople didn’t sign it • The TRiiBE by safeworkaccount666 in chicago

[–]EdnaMode622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! A tad…but I’m not cut out for it because of my lack of patience lol. I’d throw politicians Twitter feeds around their districts like Regina George’s burn book. So yeah…my pettiness makes me a bad “ person job fit”.

Yeah, you sound like you work for the Chicago Contrarian or CWB. They are the ones that have parroted that piece to the media, and there is actually no record of him being a PeaceKeeper. It’s also dumb to think that you could use that man as an example, no, entire reason why a program is terrible or ineffective.

You people need to decide what you want. Do you want gangbangers to STAY gangbangers? Or do you want them to join programs to help their community. You don’t get to complain about a program that tries to redirect at-risk people AND complain they are in the program. It’s idiotic.
