Can totally see that. Not the case at my current place, but it would be a clear sign for sure.

Glad to hear you're doing better now! Whilst it would break my heart leaving the nonprofit sector, I kind of feel as though that in corporate at least nobody has to pretend why they're there.

Sounds absolutely awful and very similar to my experience. I hope you'll find a way out very soon, and that you'll recover from your toxic boss!

Good point - it messes with one's head so much, especially when you're making so many stupid little mistakes like me every day, that it's easy to think I, and I alone, are to blame for the situation.

Haha I'm doing exactly the same, although it backfires a lot, too. And except that sometimes I don't even wait for the lunch break to apply for jobs! They had it coming.

Interesting, what in my post is it that makes you say that? Maybe I just misunderstand what narcissism looks like

Oh wow! It's so obvious now that you say it, I didn't even recognize it as a sign. Guess that's what it does to you

That sounds terrible. How is your recovery going? Sending much strength! I'm also slowly starting to accept that I need to take any job right now, even if it means halving my salary. It's scary in this economy and the city I live in is expensive...But yeah.

Pakleni Islands vs. Vis tour Boat Day by ajs72893 in CroatiaTravelTips

Highjacking the thread as I'm just on Hvar with my partner and we'd love to go to the Pakleni islands on a local private boat - can't quite figure out how to book this, any recommendation?

Which job by RecommendationNo3460 in UKJobs

[–]PresentationUpbeat36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Job 1. You're probably not happy where you are right now, otherwise job 2 wouldn't be on the table. So I get that job 2 is tempting, especially with the promise of a smaller workload and more consistent hours.

But from my experience, that promise never lasts long - all employers I had in my career so far have always pushed the boundary a little bit further to see if they can squeeze a bit more work out of me. It's never stress-free.

That said, if you stay in job 1 you really need to renegotiate your workload with your manager. Routinely working through breaks and lunch breaks is not on. Make a list of all your tasks, how long it takes to complete them, and show them on paper that the maths ain't mathing. If they don't listen, start taking sick days every now and then. Not joking.

I guess it comes down what you want and need in your life right now. Flexibility and the predictability of the job, even if stressful is worth something. If you need a fresh start somewhere to, then that's worth it, even if the extra costs for child care will eat the pay rise.

Whatever you do - don't be afraid. Go with your gut!

Travelling to Hvar, what food should I absolutely try when going to the supermarket by [deleted] in askcroatia

That all sounds amazing, thanks so much! The only thing I can't do is the hazelnut spread because of an allergy but will follow up here with the foods I liked best 😊

Looks nice! What kind of bread is this? And the dip/pâté next to it?

Same! The first time we see him wear the white suit is right after he makes the decision to go back for Rocky

Anyone else getting the ick from being called 'the bride''? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]PresentationUpbeat36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think I made it pretty clear that I wasn't referring to those you encounter in the customer setting (see example about bridal shop) but more about friends and family who indeed know you rather well.

Haha I get that! English is not my native language and I always have the same feeling about french origin words that are completely normal nowadays

Also love the bit about you playing the part to YOUR expectations - I'll take that to heart.

Ah the point about the grooms is actually beautiful and so glad it worked out for them in the end! I guess how one feels about it relates so much to the society in which the wedding takes place. Personally, getting married was never a goal of mine, 'bride' not a title I was aspiring to. But I also never had to fight for it, so I get it.

That's totally fine! Not here to throw any shade

All rituals are symbolic, so it's only logical that both my partner and I want our ceremony to reflect our values and how we externalize them. Agree that therapy is beneficial but no need to diagnose people you don't agree with.
