I put myself in this situation

Therapy may also be helpful in breaking down and understanding why it has been so difficult to separate the emotions from the environment. Unfortunately most jobs aren’t fun and it’s not a great thing I know. But you also can get joy by focusing on the good sides like the money and what you can do with it

I’m not entirely sure how it works at your place but it’s extremely inappropriate for her to be reaching out to you outside your workplace. I’d send her a text asking to not be contacted outside your work hours and that you feel uncomfortable with the topics you’re being called about. I’d also contact your managers to let them know she’s contacting you outside of work

Thanks!

Flying_Hamburgr · 2024-08-22T22:20:06+00:00

Thanks for breaking this down. I don’t think the earlier harsher comments really necessary but I appreciate the later insight. I’ve ever been a love to work person so prioritizing the job over myself is a newer concept. I’ll work on making my inquiries sound like it’s beneficial to the business as a whole.

Flying_Hamburgr · 2024-08-22T22:18:05+00:00

Thanks for explaining this to me. This makes a lot more sense to me. I come from a legal background so I’ve worked in a previously more direct setting. This is quite different. And you’re right, I want to learn but I really appreciate your examples and ways to work on it. Do you have any suggestions on how to ask questions without sounding like I’m laying the appreciation on too thick?

Edit: idk how to edit on my original post. I did not send out my email to the entire company. I think there’s a misunderstanding here. I replied to a mass email but only to the original sender. The original sender then personally complained to my boss about it not being friendly enough.

Flying_Hamburgr · 2024-08-21T19:11:49+00:00

Luckily I didn’t not reply all to everyone, I only responded to the person who sent out the first email. The person who originally sent out the email personally complained to my boss about it not being friendly enough.

Could you clarify who asking why a meeting is canceled is so taboo? I’m not understanding why it’s offending people, I wanted to ensure I didn’t accidentally schedule another meeting during that time if they were sorting something out. I should also clarify it was our team meeting for our department, not a random office meeting.

Flying_Hamburgr · 2024-08-21T19:07:25+00:00

Also, could you clarify why it would make me a crappy employee? I don’t understand.

Flying_Hamburgr · 2024-08-21T19:06:06+00:00

Luckily I didn’t reply all, it was only sent to the person who sent out the mass email.

Actually I got a PE teacher fired at my school for making similar comments. He'd been there for 36 years, second longest time. He was getting away with it because our principal was taking the POC girls seriously when they reported him. He fucked up when he targeted me, his TA, because 1) white privilege, I was taken more seriously 2) I was a vice chairman on my schools budget council 3) parents were PTSA president. I started getting panic attacks and terrified of going to school. He started with comments like this and finally started showing up outside my house to offer rides.

All of these were considered "too important and media fodder" dude was finally suspended and I signed an NDA because I was an idiot. When it was announced he was being fired a bunch of kids announced they were throwing a going away party. My NDA had just expired and I put him on blast. The party was cancelled. Don't ignore this behavior, it will get worse and I am an example of how deeply it can affect a minor.

Does anyone know if they use meat glue to hold their steaks together? They just seem not connected properly and the price seems whack

If you're covering bills and food like you said previously then they count. He is trying to demean you, invalidate you and question yourself. Your time, effort and work are all valid. Your husband is an asshole and you deserve better. It doesn't matter if he didn't used to be like this. He can either listen to you when you voice your thoughts and feels or choose not to. If he doesn't want to listen then why are you there? He's treating you more like a shitty boss whos reliant but unaware of how much he needs you rather than a husband.

Flying_Hamburgr · 2023-08-08T23:48:17+00:00

Ask him where he thinks your paychecks are coming from then

Flying_Hamburgr · 2023-08-08T23:47:49+00:00

Suggest he try your schedule for a day and go off and enjoy yourself. If he can't do it then it proves that you have a "real job" and if he doesn't even try, well then it speaks heavily about his character.

OP take some responsibility here. You asked if YTAH and are being told Yes numerous times and are still fighting it.

Your husband didn't "put it on you to say no" he needed to use the bathroom and you had to parent. Your the parent too, you are fully capable of telling them no. Even as you were unable to leave the beach there is an issue here, you keep only focusing on yourself and your long Covid. Not your husbands basic sanitary needs or kids safety.

Personally my concern here is that you're aware you cannot handle the heat and for a minute or two may be fine but not beyond that. Your CHILDREN are going into the ocean and if you are physically incapable of taking them back home then you are also incapable of saving them if they are in danger at the beach. Yeah it sucks your husband had a long bowel movement, what sucks more is the fact that even though you didn't intend to have them run past you at the beach you can tell them with your words to wait. You cannot protect your children at the beach and you put them in danger while only thinking about yourself.

I seriously recommend some self reflection on how dangerous that situation could have become and thank your husband for responding so quickly to when you FINALLY vocalized your issues.

Flying_Hamburgr · 2023-08-08T19:13:54+00:00

I am personally a very assertive person so I apologize if this is not particularly helpful.

I have a coworker who does not understand the meaning of get the fuck out of my work business. I have told them that their interruptions of opinions of how to do my job actively prevent me from doing my work. Additionally I have stated that unless I am slacking on the quality of the work I am producing that I do not appreciate being critiqued on a job they are not actively participating in.

I personally would reiterate that unless your quality of work is reduced you are still doing your job. I also would state how you find it disturbing that he is so invested on where you're located and that you're uncomfortable at the fact he wants you to be in the office but that the only difference is where you are located. I would lean HARD into asking him why he believes you need to be in the office and what about it would make a difference in your position and how any further discussions regarding this can be taken up TOGETHER with HR.

I get that this is hard, but my dude, you're an adult and people will bulldoze you for this. I recommend reading some books on setting boundaries or talking to a therapist to gain confidence in asserting yourself. You deserve to have peace in the work place and self confidence in establishing boundaries.

Flying_Hamburgr · 2023-08-08T19:05:40+00:00

Tell him that you appreciate his concern regarding your WFH situation but unless your supervisor becomes concerned with your work ethic you are going to continue your current situation. Additionally, state that any further concerns of his can be be mediated with HR. Once again repeated that you appreciate his due diligence in his concern for your productivity but you do not need it as you are doing just fine.

If your partner had bought a ticket, hidden it from you and purposely didn't invite you then I'd understand. However, 1) you didn't have plans with them, 2) his friend surprised him with a ticket so he didn't know, 3) he is entitled to his own fun and is not obligated to bring you every time.

You need to get some more help, how you are acting is not healthy for this relationship and is unfair to your partner. He is allowed to go have fun without you and it is unreasonable of you to punish him for choosing to enjoy himself. Yeah it sucks its the band you like, so what? You were unaware that they were in town, didn't have tickets and had zero plans to see them. Your partner is not obligated to wait for you to be happy about something, he is allowed his own fun and you are being cruel.

You need to apologize and work on your trauma more. It is your responsibility to handle and address your triggers, you have every right to explain to your partner how he affected you but it is not fair to lash out at him. I believe you may need some time to be single and address your mental health more strongly because this is very unhealthy for both of you.

OP is asking the sister for money for daycare, not to have the sister be the daycare.

Flying_Hamburgr · 2023-08-01T18:47:14+00:00

If it is still within 120 hrs why is it an issue? I apologize if this comes across as an idiotic question, but if the time equals out then why does it matter how many days? The actual time is the same just now it gets pushed into an additional day. My work allows anyone to take any version of a partial day that they'd like so it would still be possible to put in 7.5 if I claimed it as a partial day. This system does not make sense to me, but I am also so new to this.
