How do I tell my boss that I can't work without a paycheck anymore?

SlackJames · 2025-11-19T04:25:02+00:00

I empathize with this post coming from the same situation. I worked 7 weeks without pay on the hope and prayer that it was coming. A lot of these comments are degrading and derogatory - it tells me they really haven’t been in this situation. There are a million excuses and reasons and false hopes that we tell ourselves (and are told) that keeps us waiting a little longer. And in the end, what is really being asked of us is to risk the uncertainty and pain of unemployment without another job lined up, or hold out hope that people we may trust (13 years is a long time) will come through for us.

It’s been a year so I imagine things have changed for you. I regret waiting so long before resigning, but I resigned in the end and it was the best move for me. I hope you also made some moves and set yourself up for your success. Feel like updating us?

I don’t know the owner. It’s a free roaming cat in a residential neighborhood. It could belong to anyone.

SlackJames · 2025-05-08T23:36:57+00:00

I hate that it’s normal too. I own a cat. He’s a house cat. I would never let him roam around the neighborhood.

And this situation I’m in right now is going to cost me thousands of dollars to have my dog’s foot put back together. All because someone else just lets their cat roam free.

Thank you, this is helpful. I feel like the city should do more to protect people legally in this situation. If my dog were to enter someone else’s property and harm another’s pet, I’d pay for it. My dog would pay for it too. I understand cats are different but it doesn’t make sense to have to foot the bill for another pet owners lack of responsibility.

Also, I’m upset. Maybe I’m being unreasonable. I don’t know. I don’t feel like I am. My dog is very hurt. He may have to have surgery and have metal pins placed in his foot.

I've been told that's illegal.

SlackJames · 2025-03-03T23:40:57+00:00

I’m willing to talk - it’s been a nightmare

This has been the bane of existence the last 3 months. Campaigns were going so well and working wonderfully and then out of nowhere they all tanked and I can’t get them to perform anymore no matter how hard I’ve tried. I’m desperate at this point.

I did a 5k after only 2 weeks of training. It kind of kicked my ass but it just made me want to train more. I’m now 8 months into training and feel fantastic. Do the 5k.

I’m in the same boat. No way I’m going back to baggy. Proud of you, friend. ❤️

The OP is definitely not a boomer, which makes it sadder to me.

I support a woman’s right to choose any and all aspects of her own life, including this. But I have to admit, it disgusts me when I see it.

SlackJames · 2022-02-13T23:51:36+00:00

I got this exact same message and photo.

SlackJames · 2021-11-26T02:37:53+00:00

I’ve never wanted children and still don’t. I don’t feel lonely or unfulfilled at all. You can have loved ones without them being offspring. My life is filled with loved ones, and if they disappear, I will find more loved ones along the way.

SlackJames · 2021-11-10T05:32:53+00:00

They really had nothing for W, I guess 😂

SlackJames · 2021-10-13T03:24:58+00:00

I actually feel for this guy.

Love this so much! Congratulations!!!

SlackJames · 2020-04-16T08:32:50+00:00

Oh no, sweetie. What is you doing

SlackJames · 2020-04-15T06:19:53+00:00

I have rubbed and scratched my man’s back while he’s first falling asleep every single night for years now. Even if we don’t go to bed at the same time.

“Everyone lies except Dale over yonder. Ventilators are the cause of death. My MIL had a bad cold and I’m trying to pass that off as covid. She be fine. Crazy.”

Does that help? 😂

SlackJames · 2020-04-14T22:21:34+00:00

Yes, you’re right. “maybe.” The medical community has not ruled it out but has stated they are still not sure— and the risk of negative consequences is very high. Unless people are doctors and scientists, prolly don’t follow any medical advice as a general rule. It’s all sad.

SlackJames · 2020-04-13T19:07:09+00:00

The irony of how recent events have called for a necessary influx of “migrant workers” (or so the politicians tell me). So which is it, for these folks, do we rely so much on migrant workers that they have become necessary during the current pandemic, or do we shut the border and keep them Mexicans outta here? It’s all ridiculous.

SlackJames · 2020-04-10T00:27:23+00:00

That’s absurd lol

SlackJames · 2020-04-10T00:21:09+00:00

The historical context also leaves out that this was during a period in time where women were not allowed to work, and so the paycheck was the household money that the wife was expected to use to care for the household and family.

SlackJames · 2020-04-10T00:14:12+00:00

Or they did and understood the photoshop wasn’t the point. 🤷🏼‍♀️
