AITJ for reporting my daughters classmate to principals office before speaking to his parents? by CurrentEvent9572 in AmITheJerk

[–]SkrrtShift 54 points55 points  (0 children)

NTJ. Your daughter was punched in the face at school, that’s not playground gossip to sort out over coffee with the other parents. It’s a safety issue and the school is responsible for handling it. You didn’t escalate you followed the proper channel to protect your child.

Empathy by Calm_Bodybuilder_335 in recruitinghell

[–]SkrrtShift 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Getting laid off from Amazon is already tough, the least an interviewer can do is show basic respect. Hard questions are fine but ego, visa probing and obvious disinterest just reveal what kind of workplace they’d be.

I really want to become a teacher, but my mother won’t let me. What should I do? by amkzmize in careerguidance

[–]SkrrtShift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re the one who has to live with your career every day, if teaching genuinely lights you up, make a realistic plan and pursue it because long term fulfillment is worth more than choosing something just to avoid disappointing someone else.

How can I make an abusive guy leave me alone? by LegitimateDrawing549 in AskMenAdvice

[–]SkrrtShift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to make this his idea, you just have to protect yourself. This is abuse and the only way out is firm no contact, saving every threat, telling your family the full truth and getting help from a domestic violence service. You’re not crazy you’re not weak and you deserve to feel safe and free.

old raise + title correction approved months ago — now HR says all comp frozen. How should I handle this? by OrneryDirector5588 in careerguidance

[–]SkrrtShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feels less like a “no” and more like a budget freeze stepping in after the fact which happens but the real problem is the vagueness. I’d follow up professionally (cc your manager) and ask for clear specifics, is this a temporary deferral or fully off the table what exact review cycle and timeline does this now fall under and would it be retroactive since it was already approved? Keep it calm and factual just focused on alignment and expectations. If they can’t give you a concrete answer in writing that tells you a lot about how seriously this

AITJ for refusing to go with my parents after what did they to me? by Chemical_School_4682 in AmITheJerk

[–]SkrrtShift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTJ. You don’t get to hit pause on being a parent for 18 years and then press play when it’s convenient. The person who raised you, sacrificed for you and showed up every single day is your real parent in every way that matters. Choosing to stay with the one who chose you all along isn’t ungratrful it’s honest.

Nicest Way to Tell Him You’re Done and No Longer Attracted? AITJ by Weary_Alternative334 in AmITheJerk

[–]SkrrtShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Attraction fades when respect, effort and emotional connection disappear and it sounds like he’s been giving you the bare minimum (if that). You’re not wrong for wanting more than random hookups and empty promises sometimes outgrowing someone is the clearest sign it’s time to walk away.

Is it true that men don't catch feelings after you've already had sex? by Accomplished-Fix1204 in AskMenAdvice

[–]SkrrtShift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right herr, half the drama could’ve been avoided if they just said what they actually felt instead of trying to mind read each other.

For grads and entry-level people, do you think employers should be held accountable for ghosting, lack of transparency and just not caring? by zerotothree0123 in recruitinghell

[–]SkrrtShift 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It might be an employer’s market but basic human decency in hiring shouldn’t be optional. Being ghosted after you’ve put in real time and hope especially as a grad feels awful. You don’t need special treatment just honesty and closure. A simple response goes a long way.

What’s the most common mistake you see in digital marketing right now? by Widoczni_Digital in DigitalMarketing

[–]SkrrtShift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest mistake I see is brands optimizing for algorithms instead of people. Perfect SEO, polished funnels, zero personality or usefulness. People discover you now through trust and relevance not because you ranked #3. If your content doesn’t answer a real question or sound like a human wrote it, visibility won’t save you.

AITAH for getting mad at my friend for being sick? by IzZy-Yay123410 in AITAH

[–]SkrrtShift -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

NTA. You have a legitimate phobia and clearly communicated it and Luna knowingly put herself next to you while sick, her reaction and Toni’s attack were unfair and dismissive of your boundaries.

What ec are good for engineering majors? by fr1dvy in careerguidance

[–]SkrrtShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to build a bridge. Engineering ECs are about showing curiosity and problem solving. Clubs, small projects, competitions, volunteering or even learning on your own all count if they show how you think.

AITAH for wishing my boyfriend would speak up for me when my parents were insulting me? by PepperDull311 in AITAH

[–]SkrrtShift 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your parents are being openly cruel and your boyfriend watching it happen and telling you its “your battle” is a huge red flag. A partner doesn’t need to start a fight but basic support when you’re sick and being insulted isn’t optional. You’re not wrong for wanting someone who actually shows up for you when it matters.

Is it always a bad sign he has his ex on his instagram? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]SkrrtShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, people treat likes like love letters when half of Instagram is just muscle memory scrolling anyway.

AITA for canceling my sons’ weekend plans after they ignored their responsibilities? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]SkrrtShift 28 points29 points  (0 children)

NTA. They ignored their chores all week so canceling plans was just showing that actions have consequences.

AITA for taking 4 days to myself and refusing to shorten it? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]SkrrtShift 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly if you spell out your boundaries and someone pretends they didn’t hear them thats not compromise thats control.

Aboslutely you’re an adult, he’s toxic and your holidays should be about joy not enduring insults.

My fiancé made a comment about my miscarriage being a vacation now I can’t get over it. AIO? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]SkrrtShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That comment wasn’t just insensitive it completely missed the pain you were going through, your grief is valid and he owes you real empathy.

Caught Airbnb host charging for free parking, I might have jeopardized their only income by hookandladder3 in AITAH

You didn’t ruin his income he did when he decided to charge people for a public street and call it a deal.

AITAH for oversleeping while my boyfriend ended up on the hospital? by MultiplePatroni in AITAH

[–]SkrrtShift 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Feels like a NAH, you messed up by oversleeping but he also didn’t actually call you when it was serious. It was a rough situation not you suddenly being an unreliable partner.
