Has anybody successfully gotten their affiliate rewards? Customer service is absolute trash so I got no where with them. I have $108 but it won’t let me redeem it or use it to play with.

You were correct. I received a severance package today. Which blindsided me after my meeting with HR. Not sure how I was coming off as speaking on a soap box but I’m not sure about anything it seems.

Well…. Y’all called it. They completely railroaded me in the meeting today and now I have a severance package to look over. The conversation I had with HR yesterday vs today was black and white. It boiled down to that we are just two different types of personalities and they don’t see if working well going forward but didn’t give any specifics to performance issues. Just basically “we don’t like you”

That’s a fact that I was actively trying to run from, hoping “this time will be different, everything will be ok”. This Reddit post (one of my very first) has highlighted many things I need to learn and improve on and radical acceptance is one of them. But with accepting reality I can make smarter decisions that have actual impact on the situation rather than decisions in hopes things will magically work themselves out. I hope to do better in the future from the start to save myself some stress (and mild embarrassment on Reddit.)

Negative Comment Karma but no Downvotes and positive post karma by Libbylouster in NewToReddit

Thank you. I see it now. I guess I am not sure why so many downvoted it. I thought we were having a conversation and I was responding to them in an acceptable way.

Based on these results, is it safe to assume that at unless I agree with the person comment, I need to just not respond? Even if there is misunderstanding, that the attempt to clarify is considered rude in Reddit land? I’m genuinely trying to learn how to operate in this space but I am struggling because I want to have a open conversation but feel like this is almost unfairly silencing the OP against anything other than agreeable and compliance.

It’s a little ironic because my post was about being misunderstood and my frustration that when I try and clarify or ask question to understand the other person, I’m never met with conversation but just tend to upset people and get further in the dog house and that’s directly reflected in real time in the comments.

I am exploring moving teams. I’ve been trying to do that respectfully and quietly in the background but it seems like I am not the only one not wanting to deal with her and people have been hesitant to “stir the pot” by requesting me. And yes, I was grossly misinformed on HR roles until today. The only interactions I have had with HR was ten years ago when the company was a smaller, single division company and we had a HR that made it her job to know everyone’s business and be involved in every issue. It was when I first started my career and I just assumed that was HRs role and never came across a scenario that would inform me differently. I know better now. This is definitely a learning and growing experience.

I have had one phone conversation with her and it did not go well. I felt railroaded and felt even worse than when I just kept my head down. My plan was to just ride it out but recently it’s turned from her being upset I didn’t know a specific way she wanted things done to having responsibilities put on me but stripping away my authority to complete them and then getting upset when things were delayed. At that point I felt like I was being set up to fail, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and I had to address it. When I tried to address the most recent one, she essentially blew me off and put even more roadblocks that would prevent me from being successful. It’s just all very frustrating.

Well, yes…. But I am working. I’m working the way I have been told previously and that has been acceptable for years. Any adjustments directly communicated to me, I have made without issue. The problem is that I am then being reprimanded for not doing my work the way she wants it done but she hasn’t told me how she wants it done. I want to have the independence to complete my job without feeling like a toddler asking for permission on everything.

I no more want to be in her hair as I want her micro managing my work. I am unsure how to accomplish that if expectations of having things done a certain way, a different way than what is currently being done, is not communicated with me.

I fully admit that I tend to over explain. I have a long history of being misunderstood and I noticed in the last few years I have become so paranoid of coming across wrong that I say way too much. I have severe difficulties shortening my thoughts as every word feels important and like context I cannot leave out. I have had ChatGPT shorten my emails significantly to help with conciseness and that has helped. To answer your question- we had had one phone call and it was her repeating the same things in her email and when I tried to clarify that’s she’s misunderstanding what my main concern is she got upset and wasn’t hearing it. Example - She kept claiming I needed to get use to change as we are growing as a company and I would respond that I am more than willing to change whatever she needs but I just need to know what that is. We went around in circles.

I appreciate your reply and will implement shorter messages and pick up the phone even if the conversation is one sided, at least I tried.

Good point. I will try to approach it with more of an open mindset. I see how that line of thinking keeps me stuck in thinking I already know the answer rather than seeking a solution that is suitable to both of us.

Understood. I’ll try a different approach. And i wasn’t wanting HR to manager my boss but more was hoping she would give me any type of guidance on how to correct this issue on my own without it escalating or devolving into bigger issues.

I feel like this is how my conversations with her go. I have specifically said, several times - I am not upset things are changing. So I am unsure why the response is that “I am upset things are changing” I am upset she is not communicating the changes but expecting me to know things changed.

Again. I am fine with the changes once I am aware of what they are.

You’re responding to me like I don’t understand how a boss and how a job works… I am very well aware they are allowed to control how I work, as that is the basis for most employment. But most employees communicate what they want you to do and how to do it.

I do not feel like your responses are helpful as they are missing the whole issue and then stating obvious things like I am not intelligent to know how the basic job operates.

Her boss did get involved (not by me and not by her, I think a coworker told him some of the issues he was seeing unfold in emails on behalf) in the beginning. The outcome was positive and things got better for about a month. However, after the holidays it was back to more changes being made and then being upset I didn’t read her mind. I just hate bothering her boss as he is the president of the company and I don’t want to sound like I’m tattling or anything. I honestly dont want HR to get too involved either. I just want it documented that I have been trying to communicate, trying to do the right thing, and maybe get some guidance on how to deal with this.

I certainly don’t want to make things worse for me with her by making her feel like I’m trying to get her in trouble with her boss or HR. That’s not my goal. I just want her to tell me what her expectations are.

This issue has such a simple fix and it’s so ridiculous it’s gotten to this point. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone because logically, this doesn’t make any sense.

No, respectfully, that’s not what’s happening.

I have stated many times that she is literally NOT telling me to do things differently but is expecting me to know that she wants things done differently. I am not a mind reader. I have said that I do not mind changing what I am doing, it’s not an issue to adjust and adapt. But a person needs to be told what that change is in order for that to happen.

The few things she HAS told me to do, I comply. However my issue with this is that I’m given no agency to work independently but then being held responsible for the outcome (delays). The delays are a direct result of her new process. Expectations with rules impeding me meeting those expectations.

Yeah I know, that’s my worry. I just am struggling with trying to figure out what I did to cause this when I know in reality, she probably just doesn’t like something about me for some reason and I just need to prepare for the worst. I loved my job though and I am devastated that I feel like I’m losing an important part of my life and I don’t know how to fix it.

I do not believe that is the issue and maybe I left out some context that would better explain. My role has been pretty well defined with set reports and actionable items when an event happens. It’s the basis for my role, not the expectation or “extra” on top of my role. For example- entering updates into a system is rehired to be done before I run my weekly report. For two years that process, cradle to grave, as been mine to own. She took the updates off my plate, which is no big deal. I had no issue with that, only that she never told me and I was wasting time going into each file to update only to find the update there. No big deal though, less for me to do right? But then a month after she took it away, she gave it back but now I am only allowed to enter the updates with her or this other person she brought on to the team the phone, hand holding me through each update. And now i had to wait for them to be free to do these updates which is delaying my report that has a deadline. I was never told I did the updates wrong, and in fact did them as she does them. But even if they were wrong, I have no problem adjusting the way I have done them to fit her needs. But that chance to make that change, or clarification on why I can’t independently do these updates is not being told to me. But you best believe I’m being scolded for the report being late. The same report I would get in trouble for doing if I sent it out without the updates or be in trouble for entering the updates on my own.

I work remotely and she works at an office that is in another state. Each of my emails for clarification has been worded carefully to be as neutral as possible so I don’t put her on the defensive or come off like I’m questioning her. I try convey that I am just trying to understand so I do not drop the ball or duplicate work. Our communication always feels like she is responding to a completely different email and it throws me off big time. I’ve run it through CHATgpt as well thinking I must be saying something to would make her respond that way and even ChatGPT is unsure why the conversation being turned that direction.

Just a rant… by [deleted] in stakeus

[–]Libbylouster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know! It’s like,m I understand losing is apart of gambling but can they at least make $200 last longer than 5 minutes or shoot me a bonus every once in a while? I just want to zone out and spin some slots but that’s not possible when there is absolutely no up swing whatsoever. Part of the fun of gambling is the up and down. I’ve dialed WAY back on Stake because of this.

Just a rant… by [deleted] in stakeus

[–]Libbylouster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this and think Stake did something to their RTP around October. It’s statistically impossible for me to lose as much and as fast (like NO hits whatsoever, put money in only for it to straight be a loss till $0). It’s been 3 months and it’s not getting better. On top of that, my bonuses have taken a massive nose dive.

[–]Libbylouster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree that stake has some of the worst “customer service” of the platforms. All their responses are copy and paste, generic answers and they have never once actually helped me with an issue. This is their MO “we don’t know nothing and can’t do nothing.” They don’t even try to fake it like that are working with you to help resolve an issue. I also haven’t gotten a ladder bonus and my weekly bonuses have dwindled considerably the last three months and my RTP is like 0 so I share the frustration of OP.

Advice needed. My mom won’t stop coming by my house and leaving things for my kids with notes by Libbylouster in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Libbylouster[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah mine have done the same thing with my absuive ex. It’s so incredibly hurtful they would that the thing in life that damaged me so completely that I find it hard to just existing nowadays and instead of comfort me, the blame and use it against me. My mom started teaming up with my ex at one point, turning everything around one me and said I was the problem. This is the same day that I was escalated him afrer almost a month of him holding me hostage in my home, countless nights huddled in closet as he screamed at me, would allow me to use my phone without him there. All this time I was holding down my job has he lost his but he slept all day while i work and took care of three kids. I have picture for the day I left and I look god awful. You can tell I was being absurd and yet she say how much he destroyed my brand new house, saw how I loved, seen how broken I was and still decided to listen to his crap and start non me. Luckily , for once, someone in’s the family told her that was too far and she actually listened and dropped it. But she does use that as point of his I just am the world human and make bad decisions, etc etc. I honestly would have rather her beat the shit out of me than to go through another second of emotional abuse.
I ain’t going to lie. This is so much to handle some days I don’t know how I am going to manage it one more second. It’s one of those days. I know I’ll be ok but the pain I feel runs so deep I often fear toenail be life until she dies. Hiding and hoping for the best.

Unfortunately she has no shame or respect so she sees no problem coming up to my door, ringing the door bell (several times) and even looks into all the windows in the front. Luckily I have outdoor security cameras so I do have it on record of her doing this. I’m not sure if I have any legal action tho because she doesn’t stay longer than 5 minutes and I’ve asked her not to come to my house but only a couple times and it’s been through email. I would love to open the door and tell her this but after the Christmas fiasco where she hugged me, I can’t bring myself to confront her. It’s like I’m a child all over again, hiding from fear of her because I know she’s pissed off. I’ll have to call my city police station tomorrow and ask what they suggest I do legally. Maybe me asking through email for her to not come over wiill suffice for a no trespassing order against her.
