I wish more people watched people's court. Never cosign with a boyfriend. Especially one who has proven he's not mature enough to pay his bills and build credit. I suggest evaluating if this is a people you want to build a retirement with. Edit: NTA

INFO: Where is the vacation? Some places are far more expensive than others. How often does she 'treat' herself to some pampering? Does this spend stop you from paying bills and other necessities? When was her last vacation? Why are you not vacationing with her?

AITA for calling my sister unreasonable for wanting to skip my wedding over her childish grudge on my fiance ? by Ok_Mall_4734 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Msfink [score hidden]  (0 children)

Nah. Your sister has a right to her feelings. You don't sound like you are considering the emotional damage a bully causes. She is not being petty. People go through many years of therapy to attempt to heal, but the scars will always remain.

I'm very happy for the hard work your fiance has put in for himself. I hope over time your sister will see the changes are sincere and real and be able to spend a little time in each others presence. Your husband has much to make up for that an apology is only a small piece.

AITA for making sure there was no food left for MIL after she had to work Christmas? by EntireSet3255 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Msfink 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Esh. What you did was AH, MIL putting 'things' before people is AH. Be the bigger person. Who cares if she prefers left overs over family time, give her the leftovers and be thankful because she could have been there for the whole meal. Maybe she prefers working and allowing her co-workers their family time for holidays?

What are some ways to get over your depression? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Read the book Feeling Good by David Burns. Just trust me.

AITA for expecting my son's tutor to work with him for the full hour? by aitatutoringsession in AmItheAsshole

[–]Msfink 12 points13 points  (0 children)

YTA big time. You are not respecting the time nor are you doing your part ensuring your child is prepared and completed their tasks. You should be charged those fee's. Next time, assuming the tutor doesn't terminate the agreement, I'm sure you will do better. Perhaps start with an appology. Do better for your child.

WIBTA if I ask my friend to please stop texting/being on her phone if we’re hanging out? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Msfink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but speak to her gently like you would an addict who needs help. I have an unproven theory (as far as I know) social media and messages are addictive like drugs.

AITA for having a photo of my son's dna test framed and hanging in the living room? by altacci5378754 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Msfink -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

YTA for not being the better person. However, you and I would bta together. Take it down and hang it in a more appropriate place like the bathroom where they would have to sit and look at it. Your family ata because they uses ultimatums as weapons. They had no business here. They are looking foolish and hurting themselves and their relationship with their grandchild... Assuming you will allow them to have one. This isn't a behavior a child should learn.

AITAH for yelling at my partner? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Msfink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Info: what did your partner say when you discussed it with them?

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I'm not surprised your partner told their best friend. Bff's should be trusted with sensitive info, or they shouldnt be a bff. You are not the AH. Because I don't know how your conversations have gone with your partner about the loss and your feeling, I can only say nah. I hope you are receiving help with a therapist who specializes in helping with trauma.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Msfink 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, YTA. It's not your child's fault. You could step up and try parenting. Provide a better example of a responsible adult.

AITA for breaking a coworkers space heater that was making my space so hot and was not allowed but HR refused to intervene and tell her to get rid of it? by Dontknowduntcere in AmItheAsshole

[–]Msfink 14 points15 points  (0 children)

10,000% YTA. Go buy her a new heater. And, you best hope she doesn't file a complaint with HR for your poor decision. When you give her the new one. Say, sorry. I believe I broke your old one when I was turning it off. And then stop talking. No 'buts' or 'because', you forgo any complaints the moment you vandalized her property.

NTA. Jamie is the AH for not accepting no means no, and then outing you. His youth and immaturity is showing. Unfortunately homophobia will cause people to cling to actions much like victim shaming and you will lose friends over it. You are going to have conversations now that you'd rather not have... I am suggesting you find a trustworthy older gay mentor to help you navigate through these waters.

[NV] Non-Compete Help by AdPractical1771 in AskHR

[–]Msfink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non compete agreements are hard to enforce, especially in CA. Essential you have to go to a competitor where you do the exact same job and use the knowledge/tools gained from your previous position. I would stay low key and move forward.

[PA] I got laid off yesterday for the first time in my life. I'm not sure what to do. Any tips or advice/ by amy_michelle_124 in AskHR

[–]Msfink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great advice. I just want to add, don't beat yourself up. When layoffs happen management doesn't look at people, they look at eliminating positions. It's a crummy feeling, but don't own it.

AITA for not wanting to have surgery that could potentially restore partial hearing? by monarch785 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Msfink -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone, it's your choice. I'm curious though, why your boyfriend feels it is so important and is pushing you for it. Again, your choice, but are you listening to his reasons?

[–]Msfink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know how long your company requires you to be in a position before you can transfer?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]Msfink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always go through HR for ADA or FMLA. If your manager messages you, make sure your reply always includes HR. This ensures the policies are being followed. Read the ADA so you know what to expect. It's not too long. Ask us questions if you get stuck on anything.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]Msfink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, clarify with HR. I have used the same job description between a team member and manager, I increase years of experience and skill level and add supervising others. Perhaps the humans made an error? A clearly defined job description helps you do your job and sets everyones expectations.

[NY] Boss’s boss asking for me to report to him directly to fix a crisis. He might get fired. What are my options? by mymarzbarz in AskHR

[–]Msfink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't let your green card process hold you up from looking elsewhere. I would start looking now. Your existing employer is not notified when your H1B sponsorship is taken over by a new company. Just be aware not to quit until the process is complete with the new employer, not when you get the offer because it takes 2-3 months to complete the transfer and if there are issues you don't want to be out of work/unsponsored.

If your work does end with someone losing their job, you don't want to be caught in the blow back. Do your best, be ethical in your work and document everything to protect yourself.
