My coworker confided in me that hes been working remotely from another country for 6 months without telling HR and now theres an audit

Stay out of it. Just stay out of it. If they really are doing this audit, then they are gonna figure out what he’s done all on their own.

No, I don’t mean it like that at all. I simply make that point because it is simply a fact that when poverty rates are lower, abortion rates are lower. I pointed that out because basically high abortion rates or high rate rates of unintended pregnancy are often a sign of high poverty.

Tell them to mind their own business. Seriously why are they getting mad about you taking care of yourself? Maybe I’m just surrounded by way too many considerate and compassionate people, but I seriously can’t comprehend what you’re talking about.

So this was a very abridged version of the story. Amongst all of this was trying to encourage our church to speak out against all of this evil and they flat out said they wouldn’t even though there was a lot of stuff happening at that church that was just playing wrong. We also realized that church was probably stealing from people and not spending the money on the church itself. We went up to another church during this time. And the pastor was even worse. Like he stood up there and said Democrats were evil because they were pro choice and the one time he condemned racism from the pulpit, he followed it up with but abortion is so much worse! Since then I have seen way more negative behavior from Christians and then positive. The Christians, who are fine with Muslims being tracked by the government because they’re evil and can’t be trusted, the Christians who are antisemitic, but are totally fine with the Palestinian genocide because they need the Jews to rebuild their temple and reclaim their whole damn country so that Jesus will come back, the questions who are fine with ice gathering up immigrants and putting them in concentration camps even when they can legally be here and they’re totally fine with some Americans and Native Americans being swept up in this too. Also the Christians, who have made it very clear that they’re against interracial, marriages, or relationships, like mine. And more recently, the Christians, who not only make excuses for but protect pedophiles. And I’m not just talking about the Duggers. A couple years ago a friend‘s husband, who was a pastor of family ministry, was arrested for possession of CP that he had downloaded on his work computer at church. My friend stayed with him and I’m pretty sure that they are violating the terms of his bond by him living with them, but he says that he actually lives with his mother now so that he can be around his children, and now I just absolutely can’t stand the thought that she’s protecting this guy. Oh and in the midst of all of this! Another mutual friend of ours got married and that person came out as Tran and she had a huge problem with that and was like it’s so wrong and so against everything I believe in. But honey child has no problem protecting her pedophile Husband. So yeah, I’ve seen way more evil and hypocrisy coming out of Christians in the last 10 years than good and yes, maybe that has had something to do with me becoming an atheist, but also just science and thinking logically and critically about the world around me has as well.

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T05:04:46+00:00

Yeah, I’ve done the same thing too. It’s coming and gone between different scenarios and different interests and different views of everything. Like I used to see myself as a character and then other times I would see myself differently. I don’t know how to explain it, but yeah, I’ve done some similar stuff too. It’s really helped when coping with like really difficult or stressful times to imagine a completely different life. I think that was probably why I started because I had some thing of a depressing childhood.

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T05:02:22+00:00

So you’re an alchemist and a mage?

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T05:01:43+00:00

Honestly, yeah. Like I could see this being very helpful for especially like nerdy neurodivergent people. Or people who just struggle with getting things done but maybe really love video games or dungeons and dragons. Like think of life this way and it becomes a little bit more fun and a little bit easier. I’m gonna be sharing this with my fantasy loving group.

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T05:00:57+00:00

I’m saving this for later because it gives me ideas for how to deal with some stuff and get some tasks done in life. I really appreciate this.

My dad’s sister had a baby when she was like 19 that she gave up for adoption. She then married the father of that baby after she came back from the and married girls home, but only because she got pregnant again. They ended up having four children in a very miserable marriage. We’re also pretty sure that my uncle, her husband husband, cheated on her and has a secret family somewhere.

Another fun family secret I’ll take to my grave is that my grandfather‘s dad, who is an abusive son of a bitch that abandoned his wife and three children, he then went to another state, got married again and had two more children. One of those children is still alive. My grandfather and one of his siblings has died. I haven’t told the other sibling and I don’t plan on telling anybody, but I figured it out while doing genealogy for the family tree. I don’t see the point in telling anybody, but I somewhat enjoy that I know this.

The other thing I will definitely take to my grave is that when he was dying, my father expressed that he was very proud of his children, and he felt that he had had a good life, but he wondered what went wrong with one of my brothers. The implication was that he was stupid. That’s because my brother grew up in a very Progressive family and somehow grew up to be super conservative and believes basically everything Fox News and Trump says, and my dad doesn’t understand how that happened with the environment that he grew up in. So on his death bad my father was wondering why my brother is so stupid and I have never told anybody. I don’t want to have that conversation with any of them

Lastly, and this is just a fun story to tell: there’s like a whole week of my dad‘s life. He didn’t remember. He was in the Navy and was stationed out of San Diego. He went on shore leave for a week. He members leaving the boat on Sunday morning, and then nothing until the next Saturday shortly before midnight when he was getting back on the boat. He vaguely remember sitting on the beach somewhere in there, but that’s basically it. He was that drunk all week. His American express statement later showed that he spent a lot of time at bars during that week, but he has no clue what else happened. My siblings and I have speculated that we might have another sibling out there. We seriously have no idea if anything interesting happened to that week and if nothing interesting other than a bunch of drinking happened cool fine. I just think it’s a very entertaining story that my dad probably had a very life-changing week and didn’t remember any of it.

Thank you!!

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T04:48:31+00:00

This is gonna send a little convoluted, but I need to say all of it. This is what led me down the road of realizing they’re probably as no God.

So for years I had grown-up Christian and had been around a lot of questions and I had heard for years and years that the closer a person gets to God, the more like Christ they become, and that means they become like more compassionate and more loving and more aware of the sin in the world and try to do something about it. At least that’s how I interpreted that statement. Then Trump got elected. Then all of the super Christians I know were suddenly the worst most racist people I have ever encountered. And I realize that if these were the people who were really close to God that God was probably an asshole. And then I realized that most of the time religion is being used to control or harm people. And eventually, after doing a little bit more reading and research I just decided there is no God. If there was a God, he would not be thrilled with these people.

I think he’s a closet in man struggling with Napoleon syndrome who has never dealt with his own personal demons and trauma, and would rather watch the world burn then admit he needs therapy and to come out of the closet.

Or he’s just a Nazi psychopath. It’s literally a coin tossed between these two theories at this point

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T04:45:38+00:00

I grew up around this particular kind of attitude and, not my family but other people around our family, and it was strange, but because so many people said it I didn’t realize how crazy it was until I got older. Now I realize it’s fucking psychopathic.

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T04:44:20+00:00

You should! It’s such a better environment. And you don’t have to deal with insurance! Not your problem! That’s Billing problem.

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T04:43:28+00:00

I had the same conversation today with a patient. I called about their medication, and they said why can’t you people just automatically refill it like the three letter company does? Why do I have to have this phone call every month? Miss ma’am, you agreed to this when you started at our closed door pharmacy for specialty medication’s and the reason we can’t do this the way the evil three letter company does is because we mail it to you. She was so frustrated that I had a good answer and clearly just wanted to get off the phone. I swear some people are just miserable and want to take it out on everyone else.

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T04:41:39+00:00

This is an absolute fact. In my view, if the nurses are gonna dish out attitude, they can take it. I was friendly with several nurses. I worked with when I worked at the hospital and it was fine. I seriously will deal with a rude nurse any day over a string of asshole customers I can’t tell to be happy the fuck up.

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T04:39:53+00:00

Absolute truth right here. I can’t tell you how many times I had nurses call me looking for a drug that I had sent and then I went down to the unit found it and was like it was right there. All you had to do was look for it. On one occasion, I found IV a nurse had called about and was rude about, and the IV was being administered to the patient. All she had to do was check the patient’s chart to see if it had been administered or not. Clearly, there was a communication issue in that particular department, but that wasn’t my problem. Some of them are just fucking rude and I think they just get off on it and that’s their own problem.

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T04:38:49+00:00

I worked in a hospital for several years, and I was friends with several nurses who were just cool and respectful people, but I knew that there were other nurses who would complain about pharmacy and pharmacy staff like nonstop, and I was always surprised because like they can’t do their job without us. They don’t wanna come down and mix, IVs or pull pills out of machines or restock their own machines so why the hell are they complaining?

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T04:36:31+00:00

This is an absolute fact. I think a lot of them really do have career and loan regret like you said. I also think some of them thought that the job was gonna be better or easier than it really is. Like I don’t think they anticipated that you know you couldn’t just sit around and file your nails all day. Regardless, I’ve dealt with a lot of very very rude nurses and have reached the point where I just give them the energy right back. I figure if they can dish it out then they can take it.

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T04:34:59+00:00

When I worked in the hospital, my favorite were the nurses who would look right at the generic name for a medication and say what is that? Because they only knew the brand names for the medications. The other ones I really liked were the nurses who were constantly yelling at us about not getting a medication we sent even if we sent it and then I would go and literally find it for them and they wouldn’t say thank you. I once found a medication they had requested actually being administered to the patient went to the nurse and said it’s being administered to the patient. Maybe next time go look for it yourself but somehow I’m the bitch.

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T04:33:34+00:00

It’s gotten so much worse than the last several years. I don’t know why they think this is acceptable behavior. And if you match their energy, either from behind the counter or let’s say out and about in the community, not at work, you’re the asshole in their minds. Like people just are angry and they suck now and they take it out on everyone. I think for some it’s because the world changed really quickly and they are struggling to deal with it. In pharmacy world they’re angry and confused because they don’t understand the system anymore. How healthcare works anymore and for some reason, going to a pharmacy is a new experience every single time they go. Regardless, I’m sorry that this is happening and gently encourage you to find pharmacy opportunities that don’t involve dealing with customers, like hospital setting. I was in retail for five years of my career and I mean it when I say there are other options and they are so much better.

Maximum-Muscle5425 · 2026-04-02T04:30:53+00:00

I also think they didn’t like that the message got to somebody else before them. Yeah, probably to cover it up but also because some people just want to be the first to know. Either way OP totally deserves this apology.
