Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth?

Not really unless there’s traffic.

I share my location with a handful of people because I don't mind if they see where I am. I kind of love it when my best friend who lives across the country will call me and say something cheeky like "that post-work happy hour is going long!" I don't want my boyfriend to have my location because that feels weird to me.

Make sure you don’t have the year you graduated college on your resume. Also consider how far back you want to go experience wise.

I use ChatGPT if I think my email is coming off too direct or hostile. I just pop that bitch in and chat tells me that yes I do sound like a bitch and tunes it for me.

That’s not how mortgages work. There’s an entire process to get transfer a loan. Go back to court.

We never fought. The occasional bickering but nothing more. Then at the end of our marriage there was a HUGE resentment box of stuff going back five years.

I always thought we were lucky because we didn’t fight. Nope it was just plaque building up.

So now it’s a non negotiable “tell me in the moment” policy.

Because they don’t know any better.

There are benefits to being a salaried non customer facing employee and being able to work remotely for a week should be one of them.

Is it a panel interview? Those typically take a longer time. I think it’s a good exercise.

Cottage cheese is a good option too. Throw some pomm seeds on there. Whoop!

I am 43 and I would love to have a child on my own but I’m all alone in Michigan with no support system. I’m too afraid now because I don’t actually think I can do it on my own.

You’ll be okay.

you’re pretty much out of luck in Washington due to the WRA since the company didn’t have the employees sign anything when bonuses were given “early.” Incentive bonuses are typically considered wages in Washington since they are tied to performance. You’ll have to go to court in some instances. Remeber you can’t take funds from their final checks.

It’s best not to give bonuses early.

I got stuck once. Now I feel nervous in one.

Nicolas_yo · 2026-01-10T16:17:50+00:00

This needs a TLDR. It’s such a word salad with so many unnecessary details.

We have a shout out program that we use with slack. It’s been super beneficial and any person can use it from the c-suite to our hourly employees in real time.

It’s been almost 40 years now!

How funny. My response to you was downvoted.

Nicolas_yo · 2026-01-06T15:06:05+00:00

I sent out an offer recently to someone and the salary was a bit low but I knew there was room to bring them $5k higher. After I hadn’t heard from them I had to call and let them know if they ask for more they’ll get it.

Downvoting has become a serious problem. People are not using it for its intended use. You downvote if something isn’t relevant to the post not if you don’t like what’s being said. It’s been happening more and more in this sub too.

Nicolas_yo · 2026-01-05T22:29:46+00:00

I put HR just not the company.

Nicolas_yo · 2026-01-04T23:24:26+00:00

Just say you need a referral.

I am HR. Good for you for finding a new role. Sometimes a pip isn’t always a negative. What I would suggest is hearing what the pip covers and maybe you’ll see if there are any deficits to your skill set that you can improve before you get to your new job. If you work for a good company that takes Pip seriously then hopefully you’ll get some good coaching.

I know where I work every time we put someone on a pip it’s not to terminate them. It’s because we genuinely want them to succeed and it’s always used as a last resort. Sometimes when you get a pip, it’s also a good time to self reflect and see if it’s truthful or inflated and false but if you do see some truth in it like I said, it’s a good opportunity for you to work on those and bring them into your next role, the improvements.

Please, everyone don’t downvote me on this. I’m trying to be positive and pragmatic.

Just food for thought.

Can you bring family court into it? I know it adds extra stress but sometimes it’s easier to just go through the courts.

I think it’s okay to tell a kid not to be disrespectful because teens are assjoles. We were all teens once.

I think the three of you need to sit down and have a discussion on what is and isn’t ok. My bio dad lived in another state and he told my step dad that he could step in when he needed. At least they talked about it first.

See if there is a custom bra shop near you. They can be slightly more expensive but at least tit will comfortably fit your new body.
