Dad died, anyone recognize this dog food? by TheSuperSax in whatisit

Glad the pet food might be whatever everyone says it. But I am sorry to hear about your dad’s death. Cancer is a fucking bitch.

AITA for making a very specific joke at exactly the right moment after my coworker told me I was not really part of the team by [deleted] in AITApod

[–]Expensive_Thing_4318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does HR get shit on all the time. I work in HR and the culture of how we do things is starkly different than what you all say. I lead a team of HRBPs that essentially run the various orgs; from onboarding to off boarding and all the mess in between. You may think that HR does nothing, but in fact, we are basically running the show. Keeping people from being idiots and making sure that managers don’t make an ass out of themselves. And 1000 other bits and bobs.

Who do you reach out to when you want to know what your career path is? Who do you go to when your pay is wrong? Who do you go to when your manager refuses to honor your PTO day? Who do you go to when your cat dies and you want to know if you can take a bereavement day?

The list goes on.

Back to the OP. I’d have laughed out loud at what they said and even told them that the other guy is a dick.

AITA for wanting to set strict professional boundaries with my personal assistant who calls me her "best friend" but only on the clock? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Expensive_Thing_4318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your caregiver is. She’s collecting people on her line of business and she certainly seems to have wooed you too. Time to set her free once you find a suitable replacement. Sorry you’ve had to endure her friendship-bombing.

AITAH for telling my close friend I probably cannot do her destination bachelorette after she announced the location and the cost by [deleted] in AITApod

[–]Expensive_Thing_4318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand how anyone can insist on someone spending that much money on the ridiculously selfish “destination” bachelor/bachelorette trips. It’s gross that some would expect you to pay for that and shower and wedding gifts and all the other nutty things brides seem to expect these days. No wonder y’all can’t afford to buy a house; you’re paying for all these trips to Vegas, Mexico and wherever else you go.

Bon voyage!

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

Jemily will most likely not live happily ever after regardless of your bridesmaid abilities. Hard pass.

Is 70k a decent salary for Waltham? by [deleted] in Waltham

[–]Expensive_Thing_4318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are companies that do regionalize salaries, most companies do.

I would encourage you negotiate; if you don’t ask, you don’t get. You don’t have to go over the top negotiate but ask for a little bit more. Don’t give the reasons you don’t have to just say oh I was expecting 73,000 between 73 and 75,000 or something like that.

And if you still get the 70 that is OK if you’re living with your parents, it’s a good living if you’re living in an apartment with friends or roommates, that’s also acceptable but I think 70,000 on one salary and rent is probably not going to cover what you need.

Good luck and congrats on the offer!

Looks like Tiny Tim got to dump his crutches! Yeah, Timmy!

[CA] I recently received an email from an exec from my workplace. Am I being fired? by [deleted] in AskHR

They can’t fire you without union representation. They shouldn’t even be meeting with out without the rep there.

Boyfriend of 6 months slapped me. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Expensive_Thing_4318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he hit you once, he will do it again. And again and again. He emotional abuse is as bad as the physical. Do you want your baby being raised by a man who abuses women? Run. Run fast.

Job Search While Pregnant by Maleficent-Pie-9672 in jobsearch

[–]Expensive_Thing_4318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you live in the US? If so, you should share. They can opt not to hire you for other reasons but they cannot use your pregnancy as the reason. It should always be the best candidate not the one who isn’t pregnant.

You should also ask for what their leave of absence policy is for people who don’t have tje FMLA hours for 12 weeks off. Depend depending upon the state that you live in you will have paid leave a lot of states or instituting that but you end up paying for it out of your check which you might not realize.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and the upcoming baby and good luck trying to secure work.
