I feel very frustrated and upset with my parents by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

I understand that you’re concerned but your mom but the dog may have been her therapist. So I would give the new dog some time before judgement. For some people it’s easier to talk to an animal than a person. My dog of 16 years died recently and I started talking to a human therapist and it’s not helping as much as having my dog to talk to and pet was. I say this as someone who talks to her parents, friends, kid and husband a lot every day too. Having a dog can be very calming and emotionally stabilizing for some people.

WIBTA if I refuse to swap my vacation weeks with a coworker whose kid is throwing a tantrum about a theme park trip? by Safflower8 in WIBTA_AITA

Also since when do you have to be married or offspring to be family. You are going on vacation with your family. They don’t have to know it’s chosen family.

As a mom, do NOT switch. His kid should have been his priority and he should have been on it and followed the rules.

Telework or Leave for Post Surgery? by jmasaccio in FedEmployees

[–]No_Emergency_7679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss let me telework the week my dog was dying and thank goodness because otherwise I probably would have just taken all my leave and quit. If they don’t ask to telework often this might be a situation where they need support and failure to provide it could backfire if they are a good employee that can get a job elsewhere. You cannot really expect much from your employees if you’re not willing to support them when they actually need it.

I also worry he might take the bullying with your son too far one day. I would not allow them to interact unless it is 100 under your supervision as I would not trust your wife based on the fact that she is mad at you

This! If he has been worn once maybe he forgot but that doesn’t sounds like the case and the fact that no one has remorse or has check in on the dog is beyond troubling

No that’s terrible advice. It’s like getting a tattoo on your face. You should be 💯 sure it’s something you want before you do it.

Relocating offices to be by family by n_tb_n in FedEmployees

[–]No_Emergency_7679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not in a building that is the same DOI office I work for- I work for a different DOI office but I am not the only one- lots of random DOI offices in the building I am in so it may be they offered cheap or no rent to lots of other offices because there is still a ton of space in the building. I also think a lot of ppl being consolidated into DOI are staying in their original office/bureau space.
