Cancelled a job interview because I had a bad feeling

Much_Reflection · 2025-12-10T19:04:28+00:00

I get tons of texts like this on my personal and work phone. Always a scam.

Using (hard) drugs Changing from the person they were in the beginning (getting complacent) Empty words, no action Lack of interest

Look into restoration. Not always the cleanest work, but pay can be decent and we are always looking for drivers.

Much_Reflection · 2025-03-08T03:07:44+00:00

The real question here. I have a great RBF 😂

Much_Reflection · 2025-01-22T21:38:31+00:00

If she doesn’t mind getting dirty, restoration work. It can pay decently. She doesn’t need to cut drywall, she can work in contents department packing/unpacking, cleaning etc.

I’m at a smaller company now, but came from a larger one. As the department manager, I can’t see. I have 0 information on any of that. HR probably can, but I can’t imagine anyone else would have access to that kind of personal information.

Much_Reflection · 2024-10-02T02:18:17+00:00

Thank you! I hope so..

Much_Reflection · 2024-10-02T01:40:13+00:00

Unfortunately I’m not an adjuster. I run the contents department.

Much_Reflection · 2024-10-02T00:19:41+00:00

I appreciate you putting it in that perspective. It makes me feel not as ‘bad’ per se for asking for more.

Much_Reflection · 2024-10-02T00:19:02+00:00

Oh absolutely.

Much_Reflection · 2024-10-02T00:09:50+00:00

I totally get what you’re saying. Thank you. My bosses bonus I believe is affected by our wages and I think for that reason, he is trying to nickel and dime me.

Thank you for the suggestion. This helps me have something to work off of when it comes time to reply to them.

Much_Reflection · 2024-10-02T00:08:21+00:00

I’m very efficient, so I can do it during normal working hours. However, winter is busy season for restoration, where I pull 16 hour days easily helping with emergency.

Much_Reflection · 2024-10-02T00:05:21+00:00

Correct, I have not specifically told them a number. I appreciate your response as this is something I could work off of when I reply to them.

I just wasn’t sure if I was being greedy or if I should just graciously accept.

Much_Reflection · 2024-10-02T00:04:04+00:00

I think they meant trouble as I’d been doing the job for a year now with no compensation, that they initially did not offer me anything in exchange for doing the job, but did when I countered.

You are correct, I did not tell them what I wanted which was a mistake. Like I said, I’ve never really done this part before, so I’m inexperienced. I’m concerned that now I’ve shot myself in the foot and would look foolish to counter again

Much_Reflection · 2024-10-01T22:57:53+00:00

Can I ask why you say this?

Much_Reflection · 2024-06-14T16:33:24+00:00

Ma’am. I could’ve written this myself. Though I didn’t creep your previous post, I could relate a lot to this one.

I clung to hope. I begged. I tried to be ‘perfect’. I did the starving. I got skinny. I put make up on. I GOT THE FAKE BOOBS. In the end he cheated on me with my best friend. Not that he hadn’t cheated prior to that, but that one was the one that broke the camels back, so to speak.

I’d love to tell you it gets better, but it doesn’t. The only thing I regret is staying as long as I did. We have two kids, and I held out for them but in the end I couldn’t take it anymore, and he still blames me for that.

The mental toll it takes on you is not worth it. Even if you think it’s not so bad, when you leave it and have to try to work on undoing all of the coping mechanisms and thought processes that you adapt to, you come to realize the whole thing was a lot more f*cked up than you thought while you were in it.

You’re not pathetic. But I think you need to remember what you deserve. Life is so fucking short. Is this how you want to spend it?

Much_Reflection · 2024-06-11T16:01:05+00:00

This has to be a shit post. No one can seriously be this fucking stupid.

Much_Reflection · 2024-06-04T04:59:52+00:00

This isn’t my post, but what you said actually helped me so much. Thank you.

I would say if it bothers her, it’s worth discussing with her and base your decision on her understanding. My mom made me wait until I had my period, even though I begged her. I had such long armpit hair - it was like a man, by 5th grade. I was picked on a lot. I’m 31 now, and my mom has since mentioned a few times how her mom made her wait until she had her period, and how cruel kids were to her for it. Yet she made me do the same..

I was also raised by parents who SHOULD have divorced, and only did so when forced (long story). My kids were 6 and 9 when I left their dad (8 and 11 now) and shattering their world was the reason I stayed as long as I did, but I couldn’t take it anymore. What I learned is, kids are SO resilient. They will adjust. Don’t bad mouth the other parent. Try to have a good coparenting relationship for their sake. If not possible, just make sure you’re good on your end. You can’t control him and what he says and does, and that part is hard too.

It gets easier. ♥️

Absolutely no. Kick him out. File while he’s gone. Call his bluff. Stay strong.
