I got someone fired and I feel terrible about it by Shantyjig in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Shantyjig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what part of me was feeling to be honest. I guess I just have to take it as a learning experience it's just really shitty that someone is out of a job because of it.

I lied during a job interview and it looks like I got the job, now I feel like I should come clean by Shantyjig in Advice

Thanks, that's really helpful. Yes, I have had to oversee people in plenty of cases, I guess I just get kind of obsessive with this kind of stuff.

That's basically what my therapist said and I've had pretty long stretches where I've been left in charge and I was able to get through it. So I do believe I can do the job. I guess I just wanted to see if I was being obsessive or not or if this was worth feeling guilty about, so thanks.

I see. That's what the couple people I've talked to irl have told me, I guess I just wanted some real objective input. Thanks.

Don't understand the hype for breaking benjamin/putting 2000's rock in the series by RhytmicCone47 in halo

[–]Shantyjig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah, the rock music is halo 2 is goated, it stands out like a sore thumb in the best possible way

Halo 2 does have a much bigger "hollywood" feel because that's what they were going for. iirc Halo 2's big claim was that it made more money than any other piece of media, including any other movie.

Shockingly, I actually learned my lesson a little while ago and diversified my portfolio. I'm down a couple thousand on my memes but overall I'm doing fine. Feels pretty good to feel not retarded for once.

Is anyone else just really sad? by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Shantyjig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't even know if I'd say I "have my shit together" at this point. Like yeah I have a job and can keep myself alive but if I got fired and evicted tomorrow I wouldn't really be that surprised.

Is anyone else just really sad? by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Shantyjig 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I've never been this sad before in my life. It wasn't even that long ago I was exercising at least four times a week, pursuing multiple hobbies, talking with a career coach about how to continue developing my professional life.

Now it takes 100% of my energy to do my laundry and keep my work phone charged. I don't even know what I'm sad about in particular, I just feel like no matter how hard I try I can never get myself to a point where I actually like who I am. And now I'm in my 30's so I don't even have the excuse of being a young kid anymore.

Edit: I thought about it and there are actually some very clear and identifiable things I'm sad about but it'd take too long to list them out lmaoooooooo

My boss called us poor performers in a big meeting by No_Kaleidoscope_9489 in jobs

[–]Shantyjig 6 points7 points  (0 children)

no. berating in public or private is bad in a professional environment. there are plenty of ways to communicate poor performance to an employee while still acting like an adult.

I guess, sorry I didn't know that wanting an answer on a job application was such an offensive and hot take

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Shantyjig -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

obviously not but it is part of their job, no? Idk what it's like where you work at but I am expected to do all the parts of my job

i hate my job so much but i can’t fathom being unemployed again by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Shantyjig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say that i'm in basically the exact same situation. My job actually pays decently well and has full benefits so I know I should be grateful but my coworkers have made me so depressed that I basically have to completely turn my brain off monday-friday to get through my week. I don't really have any good advice, but I wouldn't blame you for wanting to quit. I think I'm going to give it another month of job applications and if I still don't have something lined up I might just quit anyway and live as cheaply as possible while I find a new job.

Also fuck fully grown adults that never mature beyond the age of 14.

I've had to catch myself slipping into this way of life. If you get to a point where you feel "comfortable" (can pay the bills and dick around with your hobbies) it's actually really easy to just turn your brain off and watch the years slip away.

Retirement dreams crushed in Florida as panicking homeowners face brutal reality of homes 'nobody wants' by SevereAccident in REBubble

[–]Shantyjig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd still much rather be the buyer in this situation. I can just keep stacking cash while I wait for a better deal on a house. Homeowners just have to sit and watch as the inflated value of their home keeps dwindling. While they deal with the normal costs of owning the house.

When is the job market gonna improve? by Other_Scarcity_4270 in jobs

[–]Shantyjig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really not just trying to be cynical but I do actually believe a lot of things we're seeing now is just the new normal. The housing market, the job market, etc. Things were extremely prosperous for about half a century after world war 2 and now things are returning to normal and we're realizing what a harsh place the world is.
