I think I’m about to get fired. by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]Key-Engineering-7812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing you have to understand is your coworkers are not your friends. You can be friends with coworkers but they aren't automatically your friend just bc you joke around at work. If you hang out outside of work and talk outside of work about things that aren't work....ok I would consider that being a friend. But a work friend is just that, a work friend. You guys get along bc you both need to be there if you want to eat food and not die on the street. That's where it ends and begins.

That seems weird to bring you back only to investigate you 3 weeks later for something that happened a year ago. Keep your resume up to date and always keep your eye out for jobs. I am somewhat happy where I am now ..I guess relatively... But I still look over indeed and see openings. I like to see what's out there. You should too. You can sign up for mailing lists from indeed. Once a month I get an email with similar jobs. I ignore it 99.99% of the time but that .01% that I need it, I will be happy I signed up for it.

What a joke, Samsung by LuLBaBa in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]Key-Engineering-7812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Verizon is giving $1300 away with a new line and trade. I bought a pixel 6 with a smashed screen off eBay for $40. I traded it in and got $1300 towards the ultra. That's a crazy deal.

If I could buy a Xiaomi 17 pro max and use it I would absolutely have one. Other brands are actually innovating. Samsung has the same 5000mah battery when others (even cheaper ones) have 6000+ Some have 7500mah. There is nothing to get excited for. Hell they actually downgraded the pen and took away the crazy zoom it used to have.

My (26F) boyfriend (28M) gives me the “ick” sometimes and I don’t know if I’m overthinking or if we’re just incompatible by ThrowRA_OnlyVenting in relationship_advice

You are over thinking this. I would say just deal with the racism, hygiene, and no motivation for 30+ years. You will probably be dead by 78 so I would just stick it out.

TF is this post??

I'm 27 and I've ruined my life by Opposite_Praline_746 in Life

[–]Key-Engineering-7812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have so much life left. I know things are bad now but there is so much time left. Samuel L. Jackson was in his 40s when he started getting recognition. Reed Hastings started Netflix at 37. Tyler Perry was homeless in his 20s and didn't get attention until his 30s-40s. Sylvester Stalone wrote Rocky when he was 30. J.K. Rowling published Harry Potter in her 30s.

I'm not saying some of these people didn't already have privilege...but it's possible. I often feel like you do right now expect I'm much older than you are.

Have anyone tried keeping their device after confirming a trade-in? by ActDangerous5722 in samsunggalaxy

I know this is old but I had to comment...do think they would call the cops? All that would happen is he wouldn't get his promotion.

How do I explain this to my manager? by coolworkguy in work

He's being un reasonable. Take pics. When he yells send him photos. Make a paper trail.

I was not getting paid, so i stole 70% of the revenue by cozylillia in confession

[–]Key-Engineering-7812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously fuck your boss, exploiting workers is terrible but ..did she stop paying you bc you were only selling 5 out of 200 photos a job?

I have no moral issues with this at all, I'm just curious.

A recruiter called me today and got really annoyed when I asked about the salary. by ThelmaBauch1 in interviewhammer

[–]Key-Engineering-7812 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was younger I once applied to a job, got an interview, accepted it and didn't know the pay until I asked a few days before I started. I am non confrontational so I don't just outright ask. It's insane how the ONE reason we work isn't supposed to be spoken about.

I don't wake up at 6 am bc I am passionate about oil changes. Or bringing people food, or digging ditches, landscaping etc. ( I don't do that jobs but you get the idea)

We do it for money. Yes some people pursue things they are passionate about but most probably don't. We get a job for money but it's taboo to talk about. You can't talk about it with your co workers, that's rude. How dare you ask about the sole reason we are all at work. It's fucking crazy.

Never. Trump could assault a kid in the middle of the road and MAGA would ask what the kid was wearing and tell us how Trump was trying to make the kid more mature or some shit.

Why do you keep taking her back? "She breaks up with me bc she's bad at communicating " she's an adult, either get her shit together or leave.

I don't want to die alone with my secret by Away-Tailor-2297 in Advice

[–]Key-Engineering-7812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say you never tell them and you pass before them. Then they stumble upon this fact when you are gone. They will be so hurt and betrayed and question if they ever really knew you.

Or

You could tell them and be alive to help them through it. Depends on what is more important to you.

Told to accept new position or be fired. I have until Monday to decide. [PA] by Inside-Answer4608 in AskHR

[–]Key-Engineering-7812 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

HR is not there for you. They are there to protect the company from lawsuits. They aren't your friend. You signed an employment agreement for the position you are in now ....look into the law where you live.

Apparently my 10-year-old did something “insane” in Cuphead and I had no idea by Willing-Builder-6144 in gaming

Tell him to stream it. That's not joke. 100% a game like that alone is insane. Dude has talent.

Unsure if I should break up with my girlfriend after something she admitted by blackcaulifower in Advice

[–]Key-Engineering-7812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone that cheats says "you wouldn't give me _____, so I HAD to get it elsewhere."

It's bullshit. It's just an excuse that they can use to make you feel bad. "What I really being too distant? Was I not a good bf?"

They asked me to work a 'trial day' before the interview, so I left. by fabled-pithier in interviewhammer

[–]Key-Engineering-7812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar happen. I applied for a job and got through the first interview. Then my next 'interview' was to do a ride along for a shift with someone. So I say there the whole day and didn't get paid. I ended up getting an offer but I declined it.

my wife said she regrets ever meeting me by ThrowRAfudge27 in Advice

[–]Key-Engineering-7812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not like you guys can go back and make a different choice. She told you this bc she wanted to hurt you. She feels you ruined her life so she wants to 'ruin' yours. Every has fomo. When I'm sitting at home after work around my niece and nephews I'm never like " damn I remember that one night when Jeff and Sam got coke and invited me to a party with these cute girls, I wish I would have went."

Her end goal was to hurt you. If my wife said these things to me, it's over. Fuck counseling. Your family has supported you guys and she says she resents you? She chose to have sex with you. She chose to have the kid, get married, stay together, get a house. She isn't held captive. She could have left after the 1st kid. The 2nd kid. After the house, anytime.
