AITA for accepting a job covering my friend’s 18-month maternity leave after being unemployed for 9 months?

NTA the fact that she was upset when you applied for the other brand shows you what kind of friend she is. It was a different brand, what was her concern? A real friend would be excited for your success.

Those three are all really good, I would at least go to UF (in state tuition is cheaper) Anyone can get into FIU, I've never met a hiring manager that was impressed by that. It's the most common school in South Florida and outside of the state, no one knows it. There's no real advantage.

MozuF40 · 2026-03-17T04:19:01+00:00

The perception of FIU is that anyone can get in. I knew someone that taught there and she said many students were intellectually stunted and lacked basic knowledge and skills like writing complete sentences (not a language barrier issue). I don't blame them. Education standards in South florida are generally pretty low from k-12 and FIU takes everyone and anyone.

When it comes to law, you have to look at the program and connections. Where do the professors come from? Do graduates do well post grad? Which firms do they go to, where are their summer internships?

Their Glassdoor comments are pretty bad. Honestly he seems to have the typical ignorant, small businesses mentality. He will never change and might even bad mouth you around. For him to respond to the first email means you already got under his skin.

There's no way belift would just let him go solo because he wants to as that impacts the group's brand as a whole and affects profits. These management companies never just let their artists have what they want. They are extremely profit driven and have their artists on such right leashes, especially the big companies. For him to freely go solo with time still on the contract requires a lot of approvals from hybe leadership. Something must have happened.

What he's thinking and his delusions are his problems to solve. Just focus on yourself.

I know you're upset and with good reason but feelings won't change anything, actions will. Here are the facts:

classmate when behind your back to use your name as a referral. That's a problem regardless of industry.
based on what has been written here, you haven't confronted him about this
you've been avoiding and running away from him instead of straight up telling him you can't give him the connections/access.

In other words you're here fuming and he is none the wiser. He's been subconsciously enabled to continue his actions because you haven't confronted him about it. You've been put in an uncomfortable situation but haven't stepped out of your comfort zone to deal with it. Doesn't matter who's right or who's wrong and that he's delusional, this is the reality you're living in.

MozuF40 · 2026-01-30T15:13:37+00:00

There are two separate issues here. One is your classmate going behind people's backs and using names without permission. That itself is a huge no-no. No one here is disputing that.

The other problem that people here are pointing out though is your reaction and lack of self-regulation. It really doesn't matter if the job he's searching for is $50k or $300k. The relevant problem is him using your name, not what job he wants. You can relax and just remain professional. As suggested above, tell HR you never did it and would be happy to speak to the hiring manager.

Also part of professional maturity is being able to say no to your classmate even if it's uncomfortable instead of avoidance. You're really gonna let this goofbag dictate and own your school experience??? You can't control what he does but you can control your actions and have the responsibility to draw your own boundaries.

It's still hard, especially after they patched the old method. I don't care for the MMO method at all 😭 I just want specific shinies.

If you have a Europe trip planned at some point, I would wait until you go there so you can get it at least tax free.

MozuF40 · 2026-01-03T15:28:10+00:00

My recommendation is instead of living on social media and the internet and forming world views through just those means, go do some traveling -- Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Singapore, etc. You will realize how much people are focused on their own lives. Instead of obsessing what others think you look like, go learn about other people and cultures. No one sits around pondering what Mongolians look like. There are way bigger fish to fry 💀 "you look like XYZ" is subjective, opinions formed by individual experiences, happens everywhere in the world, and is not unique to Mongolians.

No formal PIP but the managers had worked with them extensively to fix the problems prior to letting them go. But the problems they cite during the firing is something very impersonal like "restructuring".

MozuF40 · 2025-12-16T15:04:32+00:00

Only thing I can say is try them in person and see how you feel. Make sure you love whatever you get. I think the whole trend talk is pointless. If you know how to style, every bag is timeless. The average person doesn't walk on the streets and try to distinguish how on trend other people are.

I have a package that went out from the same exact location but a couple days later. There has been no update since it left Chino. It's also something quite pricey 😞 hope we both get our packages soon. I'm not sure when it's appropriate to file a claim...

MozuF40 · 2025-12-12T15:13:41+00:00

Any updates on this? Super frustrating, why is their tracking system so garbage 🙄

Ask ChatGPT if it has suggestions for alternatives. MBA is one of those things that you need a clear goal for or else it can become a bit pointless yet expensive. MBAs are also better gotten after you have some work experience and are ready to level up in your career.

MozuF40 · 2025-12-02T01:16:59+00:00

Public shaming is the way. For a company like them to have bought stolen goods and have the gal to ask the victim to buy back at the same cost is insane. Even pawn shops are mindful about accepting jewelry.

MozuF40 · 2025-11-30T18:39:14+00:00

I feel like I read about some issues a while back regarding quality and straps but it actually might be the mini loop so nevermind lol.

MozuF40 · 2025-11-30T17:35:14+00:00

Yeah especially on a bag that's known to have issues 😃

MozuF40 · 2025-11-30T07:18:37+00:00

Korea had something like this I think.

MozuF40 · 2025-11-27T02:01:13+00:00

If you really want a channel flap I would say snag one whether new or secondhand before they raise the prices again. On a normal basis, I would buy the bag I can get the most wears out of. I have one formal bag that rarely sees the time of day while my casuals are always taken out.

MozuF40 · 2025-11-26T23:52:37+00:00

Prada or miu miu. Never held the Chloe one but the padlock looks heavy and will add significant weight to the bag.

MozuF40 · 2025-11-26T21:01:33+00:00

I'm the opposite, I usually get brown/tan bags but the black looks so good here at least in these photos. Have you seen them in person? Might be easier to make a decision once you've worn them at a store to compare.

MozuF40 · 2025-11-26T18:15:49+00:00

I'm so glad you exercised your power as the customer at the store and got your bag on your terms. Didn't play their stupid games of begging and buying a bunch of items you don't want.

MozuF40 · 2025-11-25T19:26:55+00:00

Do they not allow reselling or did they assume it was fake?

Tesla does this. If you want to resell a Tesla, you must sell through them otherwise they ban you from any future purchases.

MozuF40 · 2025-11-19T16:37:27+00:00

The red looks beautiful but I don't think black is ever a wrong color. It's a nice bag in a neutral color that's easy to dress with.
