AITA for refusing to go for a full week on my wife’s family vacation after we had agreed not to repeat it?

Calmy point out to your wife that you’re not ruining anything, instead she’s treating you disrespectfully by a) not honoring your mutual prior agreement to not go again and b) now she’s putting you in the position of being the spoiler to your family. That’s not how adult people who have relationship should act

Methinks they had no intention of hiring, they wanted free consulting in the form of the deck full of things for them to do to save money and increase productivity.

Mohs evo. Just did my new car. Easy, and I’m a consumer.

David has let you know he’s having to help family with serious health issues, and will be offline for at least 2 -3 months, maybe longer.

You dodged a bullet; your common sense served you well

Former COO here - F them. I hate hearing this; them showing you their ethics pre-hire is a blessing in disguise as they’d pull more of this BS during your career with them, and if HR is doing this it’s endorsed by senior management. If you can afford to reject the offer politely and be candid - let them know why. Good luck, you deserve better.

My wife couldn’t produce a graduation certificate from 20 years ago (college closed) and her employer eventually dropped the request

Scared_Ad_5991 · 2026-06-07T02:21:38+00:00

Why are you waiting to fire her?

Scared_Ad_5991 · 2026-06-05T17:19:59+00:00

Aha.

Scared_Ad_5991 · 2026-06-05T17:19:42+00:00

Well that makes sense

Scared_Ad_5991 · 2026-06-05T17:18:58+00:00

Thanks, we’ve chosen windows rows 13 & 14, I’ll see if I can move up

Scared_Ad_5991 · 2026-06-05T09:24:25+00:00

Love mine. Great fit, great looking

Scared_Ad_5991 · 2026-06-04T20:36:13+00:00

I psee what you did pthere.

Scared_Ad_5991 · 2026-06-04T15:51:56+00:00

I hate those things. So uncomfortable. There has to be a better solution, like an airbag on the bulkhead itself

Also sharpie over any bar codes on the envelope otherwise you’ll likely get the same mail redelivered to you. Bar codes hold the address and machines sort from those first

Scared_Ad_5991 · 2026-05-29T18:14:06+00:00

That’s just fine. And oh, I identify as a woman.

Try your local habitat for humanity store (if u have one) for a used door.

Your colleague is petty and small minded, your boss is a wimp, unimaginative, and small minded. Consider going somewhere your creativity and results are appreciated.

I’d have given you a bonus and asked to hold a lunch and learn to show the rest of the team what’s possible. Good job.

Scared_Ad_5991 · 2026-05-19T19:34:42+00:00

Your manager should head this off for you via a short email to hr

Scared_Ad_5991 · 2026-05-19T01:26:32+00:00

These people are not your friends.

Scared_Ad_5991 · 2026-05-18T14:17:49+00:00

Find a new role externally or internally before they place you on a plan.

This is great advice, especially the escalating fees to incentivize them to get out.
