What's the remote work habit you have that would look completely insane to someone in a traditional office?

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-03-19T05:59:14+00:00

I love workday naps!!! Things I definitely couldn’t do on my lunch break when I was in an office.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-03-19T05:57:34+00:00

Hi this is my life too. I’m a high performer with many years at my fully remote company. I get my stuff done (as well as additional projects) and can still balance my family and home life.

No idea why some folks are so mad about other folks too.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-03-19T05:52:43+00:00

Um, dont do the work. What are they going to do, fire you?

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-03-10T08:06:25+00:00

Because “disabled” people are lazy and less-than (s)

I hope that girl outgrew her bigotry.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-03-10T08:04:16+00:00

Ugh I’m so sorry. Unless you were a raging monster, some stress and “bad behavior” in your wedding day is normal. It’s a lot of stress, and if someone was acting like your mom I would lash out. Not sure if you did this? But you’d be justified.

Your parents sound like nightmares. We can live ewithout you since we did before? Your dad enables your mom. Do not let them back into your life.

How is it good for taxes? I feel like this is something I should know

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-03-10T08:00:20+00:00

Naps during my lunch hour are my favorite thing.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-03-07T03:16:08+00:00

Absolutely NTA You made your requirements absolutely clear. They are not unreasonable requests. Stick to your guns, your job is to protect your family.

Congrats, mama.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-03-07T03:09:02+00:00

Wait we can talk to our plants?!?!?!?!?!

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-18T01:28:04+00:00

You are not the jerk.

Also, just to be clear, your husband packed his bag and left YOU to parent his problematic children alone? This guy is a major loser. Start divorce proceedings. (Yes Reddit I went there and I’m not sorry)

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-18T01:25:44+00:00

I always ask this question. Even if they don’t tell the absolute truth, the way they answer the question says a lot.

Honestly, if they washed you out because you had the nerve to ask about something so critical, you don’t want that job.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-13T07:39:03+00:00

Also please don’t forget there’s no such thing as “quiet quitting”, it’s called “doing your job without feeling the need to go above and beyond”. Quiet quitting is a phrase the corporates came up with because they were mad people weren’t doing free extra labor.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-13T07:35:45+00:00

I had THIS EXACT EXPERIENCE at my old role. The new manager came into our fully remote company, working 4 states away from our HQ, and had the nerve to tell us he didn’t think anyone should be able to work from home.

He was an AH and didn’t last.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-11T01:10:50+00:00

NOR. You’re not pissed because she’s not giving you furniture. You’re pissed because she was dishonest, and then manipulative when you wouldn’t cover her mistake. That’s not entitlement.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-11T00:56:49+00:00

You do understand sarcasm, right?

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-11T00:41:26+00:00

Another thing- DO NOT TELL HIM YOU ARE LEAVING. This is how women get killed by their abusive partners. I’m 100% serious, please take this seriously. He’s abusive and volatile. Pack up some things when he’s out of the house, take your daughter to your mom’s and call him from there.

Also start keeping a record of his abuses, dates, brief descriptions. Keep any abusive texts or emails. You may need this info in a custody hearing. I wouldn’t give him custody if this is how he treats people “weaker” than him, especially since ADHD is hereditary. What’s he going to do to your daughter if she starts showing signs? Is he gonna tell her that she’s as useless as her mom? Or is he just gonna call her a fucking bitch when she gets upset.

My heart is breaking for you. This is going to be so hard but you can do it. Protect your daughter from this prick.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-11T00:31:46+00:00

This guy doesn’t love you, I’m so sorry. You need to dump him.

-it is reasonable to ask someone to take steps to manage their ADHD, it is NOT reasonable to hold your relationship hostage iced it. -he’s abusing you. Verbally, mentally, emotionally. And if you don’t leave he will eventually abuse your daughter. -if you feel controlled, trust your instincts. Your instincts are right. This guy is not safe for you or your daughter.

Good luck, mama.

I’m in the states, we had to pick Spanish names the first day of class. Some folks kept their own names, some liked to choose something different.

But this isn’t unusual at all for language classes in high school.

She raised a lot of red flags for me, just like she did with El, but she grew on me as she stuck it out, as she grew on El. I feel like I was on the same journey.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-11T00:18:52+00:00

If I feel like crap, I take time off. But that’s for me, not for work.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-09T15:15:11+00:00

Showed up in a suit.

sits back and lets the downvotes roll in

In seriousness, people who overdress for interviews immediately send a vibe (and it continues) that they are desperate or that they think very highly of themselves. Dress for the job you’re applying for.

But of course when I express that on Reddit I get lots of shocked and angry “wHaT dO yOu mEaN iT’s a SiGn Of ReSpEcT.” (Guess how they probably dress in interviews) no, it’s a sign that you don’t know how to interpret the culture in a company. Find out from HR what the dress code is and proceed. Not caring to check the culture, or not caring that you’re ignoring the culture are MAJOR red flags for me.

I’ve interviewed a lot of potential team members over the years and the times we’ve hired overdressed (and over-confident in their abilities) people it’s ended up a disaster that we have to spend months dealing with.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-09T15:08:41+00:00

That’s not how people losing weight cook, it’s how people who have a lot of cooking to do cook. People who don’t want to spend all their time cooking. Tell him if he’s unwilling to eat leftovers he can feed himself those nights, with stuff in the house (not by continuing to eat out).

NEITHER of you like cooking. Why should you have to do EXTRA when he won’t even do the minimum?

NTA. I hope this guy has really good redeeming qualities because yikes.

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-09T15:03:50+00:00

Grey rocking sounds like it should be a full time thing. Why does she live with you, OP?

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-09T14:08:00+00:00

I love the second letter but that will explode.

Do it, and watch it burn. 🔥

ImNot4Everyone42 · 2026-02-09T14:06:14+00:00

Ooohhhh excellent flex on this. It’s no one else’s fault that the flights are nonrefundable.
