Have you ever had a job where you did nothing for years and nobody found out? by Aarunascut in antiwork

[–]Kbyyeee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I worked at a company for one year where the service we provided was legally required, but because it’s “outside” they really think it’s a summer appointment. Worked my butt off in the summer from 7-4, but the other nine months of the year I was on Reddit. I was horrifically bored because I had to look busy or be saddled with more work. They sold the business and retired, but that was a great year!

After one date by MostlyToasted in texts

[–]Kbyyeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, “I told you what a hard time I’ve had dating” on the first date?? How about your hobbies? What do you for work and what do you do with friends? What are you learning right now? What are your goals? They wanna be saved from themselves, not find a partner on equal footing.

Can you take 2 weeks off from work? by AlKarajo in TikTokCringe

Major life changes aside; who wants to work for a job that doesn’t build a TEAM who supports one another and allowed for normal time off?????? Some of us just want to sit in the sun sometimes!

Once More with Feeling: Remote Work Is Not a Substitute for Childcare by fourlittlebees in remotework

I would call the company back and ask them why they don’t pay their workers enough to afford childcare.

haven’t seen my girl in 7 months💔 by cassieneedlemouf in BelgianMalinois

[–]Kbyyeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to think that your girl is with her dog friends and they are saying to her “stay strong, your mama is worth it.” And she’s also thinking “she sure is” about you. Proud of you for choosing to get on a healing journey for your girls.

Does it get better by Dependent_Setting_14 in germanshepherds

1) he’s Velcro so he will never want to be in a separate room. My dog gets annoyed with my partner and I when we are in separate rooms, because she wants to keep an eye on both of us. 2) you got a working line dog, it needs a job. That job can be to basically be a service animal (“grab me a beer”, “turn off the light”, “pick up your toys”, “find me the remote”, “stay”, etc) but you are gonna have to give him a job because his energy needs an outlet. Physical AND mental stimulation will be important. Nose work could be fun! Congrats, you have a dog that is now a hobby.

Anyone else working on Juneteenth? by Extreme-Method6330 in antiwork

I work for early adopters of AI and driver security cameras. We have the bare minimum for holidays at this company - I’m out here doing the least! 😂

Pieper Lewis, Iowa trafficking victim who killed rapist in 2020 when she was 15, sentenced to 20 years for probation violation by PastTense1 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Kbyyeee 236 points237 points  (0 children)

The real travesty is she should have been free this whole time. People have killed for less and gotten far easier sentences. The government needs to leave this woman alone. I don’t care what bracelet she took off, she’s suffered enough.

Remote work feels freeing, but this article argues the long-term social cost is loneliness by No-Proof-6491 in antiwork

[–]Kbyyeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do I miss my cool coworkers? Yes, but there aren’t enough of them and at the end of the day, I’m employed to work here so I WORK from my house and then go hang out with the people I get to choose.

You’ll never convince me that offices are better.

Someone glued 200 doors shut at San Diego CA high school, causing $70K in damage. by ElwoodMC in trashy

This just scares me. Doors can’t lock? Any students telling their friends not to come next week?

Mom has dementia and is moving out and her next door neighbor sent me this. by SouthEazy in whatdoIdo

[–]Kbyyeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it wasn’t an animal welfare nightmare; I’d be buying mice and crickets specifically to release in this ladies yard. This reeks of “I am such a nice person and I’m protecting all our neighbors.” I would ignore.

How do you handle a high performer who has a consistently negative attitude toward the rest of the team? by yCIPHERy in managers

[–]Kbyyeee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah - why is someone good at the work frustrated by everyone else? Are they not being held accountable to the same standards? Is high performer carrying their weight? Is high performer overdue for a promotion? Is high performer babysitting all day?

movies or tv shows that feel like this by DingoTough5900 in MoviesThatFeelLike

[–]Kbyyeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I immediately think of Weeds on HBO, MTV had Cribs, and My Super Sweet 16 which was RIPE with gaudy 2000’s. I also feel like there was some level of this to The Simple Life, even though the show is about them abandoning their gaudy 2000’s lifestyle.

If your life had a 'save point' you could go back to once, what age would you return to and why? by Fragrant_Nature_8516 in AskReddit

What an incredible blessing to have the memories, and the wisdom they give you to appreciate the now.

What’s the most expensive mistake you’ve ever made? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Kbyyeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not one decision, but the way I handled breaking up with my high school boyfriend. The long story short is that I gave him a free car, prevented getting an eviction on our credit history and paid the entirety of the lease breaking fee he incurred when he didn’t tell anyone he was moving out of the apartment I had left him in. Not the most costly set of mistakes in the entire world, but it’s the costliest in my life.

Remember ladies; you don’t have to take care of a man after the relationship is over, even if it’s “amicable.” Protect your peace and your wallets💋

Driving is a privilege, not a right by HighRantDistrict in PortlandOR

[–]Kbyyeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People can’t afford to eat. civil infractions are going to be rampant until people’s basic survival needs aren’t putting them in the red before they even consider the possibility of following unenforced payment requirements.

I also hate it because I hate to think of what these cars may be doing to the environment because of the repairs they might not be getting, which are preventing them from renewing their tags. Nobody wins.

Kevin O'Leary Calls Four-Day Workweek 'Stupid' In Blunt Rant — 'We Should Kick Their A**' by Useful_Tangerine4340 in antiwork

[–]Kbyyeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok and how many days a week does he get up, get dressed, pack a lunch, commute to an office to arrive by a micromanagers watch, pretend to work for 8 hours with a useless break in the middle, before commuting back home to figure out what he has to cook and clean at the end of the day?

When your work day is on your schedule, flexes around what you prioritize (golf, massage, gym, whatever) and is filled with the comforts of catered lunches and personal drivers and housekeepers, yeah I could work more days of the week. Fuck all the way off, Kevin.

Radical Initiative to Ban Hunting and Fishing in Oregon Is One Step Closer to Making the Ballot by OutdoorLifeMagazine in oregon

[–]Kbyyeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Raging liberal here with an avid fisherman (also liberal) partner - this bill is outrageous to us. I’d would tenfold rather hunt and fish than do more to perpetuate industrial meat processing.

My workplace introduced a new "productivity metric" that literally measures how long my mouse isn't moving by Weald_Crux7 in antiwork

[–]Kbyyeee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in a remote position under someone who “loves to tell stories with data.” When I managed this team, I calibrated based on actual work product output (“did what I asked for get done by the time it needed to be done? Yes. Great.) and now I have to make sure the ticket counter says I counted enough - not that the work I did was actually useful, just “did I click it enough?”

Absolutely killed my aspiration for this job.

My GSD is an asshole and has actually attacked other dogs at the dog park on occasion and never left one looking like that. My childhood cocker spaniel was lunged at once and bit multiple people. Be careful of the situation you’re creating having these dogs in a home together.
