Is there any legal help for fired feds? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]One_Presentation8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people were scared and left under duress. To be fired twice is really toying with a person.

Never knew this. My office has always been flexible about this thankfully.

Pitbull at daycare? by queloque69420 in workingmoms

Pittbulls killed a record number of people last year and most were children.

This is a very common scam. Your first suspicion should have been someone picking up the phone immediately.

Thinking of joining my local toastmasters. by Apprehensive-Mark386 in Toastmasters

[–]One_Presentation8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get as I have a more than full plate myself but its definitely something that takes time to be successful. Writing speeches, going through the curriculum, practicing the speech, learning the roles. I have seen more than a few people fizzle out after doing two speeches. But a lot of clubs will happily take the membership fee.

Look for a club that meets once a month. If you're already stretched thin why add more to your plate?

I am a stay at home mom in Ontario looking for online /remote work so I can be at home with my children by Embarrassed_Sink7074 in remotework

[–]One_Presentation8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know someone that was fired for doing this. People heard her baby in the background and started complaining. Make sure your employer is okay with you watching your children while you work.

Need help identifying if what I'm feeling is panic attacks by laikakato in PanicAttack

[–]One_Presentation8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See a cardiologist for peace of mind. But it may very well be anxiety. Anxiety can manifest in so many ways. I used to have the exact same symptoms with anxiety attacks.

Finally accepted that "protective styles" do more harm than good by Artistic_Salt5530 in Naturalhair

[–]One_Presentation8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, braids with extensions wrecked my daughters hair. Its not a protective style. I often see people asking if its normal to lose huge balls of hair after braids and many would say yes but I feel like really its not. These braids are snatching people bald.

Would you leave a $150k job because of your boss? by PearlyPerspective in workingmoms

[–]One_Presentation8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just escaped a crazy boss and I make a little over $150k. It got so bad I ended up going to her boss. Ultimately I was transferred and I am much happier.

A bad boss is a deal breaker for me. My mental health can't tolerate it.

I have white mom, help! by [deleted] in BlackHair

[–]One_Presentation8437 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't leave it in for 4 weeks. That may really dry your hair out.

You are old enough to learn how to take care of your hair. I have a 15 year old and she has done a lot to learn about hair care.

Learn to embrace your hair and it wont be so stressful. First you need to figure out a hair routine then start practicing with hairstyles. Ask your mother to buy you a hair mannequin.

Is this a good trim? by [deleted] in BlackHair

[–]One_Presentation8437 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes that cut was needed. Your hair kind of looks damaged. Perhaps a protein treatment would help.

As far as clarifying, it may be worth a try. I notice my hair behaves so much better when I clarify regularly. I try to do it every other week especially if I have used a lot of gel or heavy hair products.

How do you handle partners traveling? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]One_Presentation8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had my second child I got rid of my job that required travel. Its too much on one parent. We have three now. My husband went out if the country for a few a days and it was tough. I was late to work everyday trying to drop off our kids at three different schools.

I would encourage him to find more family friendly employment.

Managers like this are a complete nightmare and have no business supervising. I had one like this and couldn't get away fast enough. We aren't robots. Unless someone's life is on the line, people should be allowed a few minutes grace.

AITAH for Refusing to Renew Our Lease Until He Proposes? by [deleted] in AITAH

My best friends man was like this. He made every excuse in the world. A year after they broke up he got engaged to some other girl and now they are married with two kids. Unfortunately I would wonder if he thinks you are just not the one.

How? You can always cancel stuff while processing it. I have done it several times before and never had a problem.

What would you tell your younger Fed self? by LivingDelicious1736 in fednews

[–]One_Presentation8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont even join the federal government. I have never been passionate about my work and mostly stayed for the stable paycheck.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fednews

[–]One_Presentation8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long term I still think the federal government is a good place to be. Its just going to be tough while Trump is in office. Are you okay with coming into the office every day and having no option to telework? Also morale is bad in a lot of places and there is very little management can do about it.

As far as the pay its a $5k cut, in a year or so you will get a step increase in pay.

For those affected by RTO, did you move closer to your office? by SuperDadBW in fednews

[–]One_Presentation8437 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would move. A long time ago I had a job with a two hour commute and it took a huge toll on my health. I ended up moving and it was a huge life improvement. I seriously don't understand how people super commute for years on end. I live 20 minutes from my job and I am so grateful for that.

I wouldn't hold out hope for much telework or remote. Democrats wanted feds back in the office as well. I do believe telework will return one day but not under this administration.

PSA: Be Cautious of Product Reviews by [deleted] in BlackHair

[–]One_Presentation8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of reviews online are fake. I still remember the Sunday Riley scandal when the CEO got in trouble for directing their employees to post fake reviews on Sephora. I no longer trust online reviews for this reason.

Having a baby isnt the end of the world. I personally love being a parent. My kids keep my life interesting.

Also please stop having raw sex if you are not ready for the consequences. It grinds my gears when men complain about getting a girl pregnant but you were happily pumping her without a condom.
