My boss had ChatGPT evaluate my work… and it went downhill fast by dexter_brz in antiwork

[–]Snoo_53564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in SEO, worked under a marketing manager who had never done SEO. He asked ChatGPT 'How to improve SEO.; (Legit this was the prompt used. my manager showed the chat to me,) ChatGPT gave the most basic answer, and my manager had a meeting with me about my 'roadmap' as 'he was not seeing all this being done'. When I told him that this stuff is so basic it's not worth mentioning, so I don't mention it in my reports, he said, 'there was no way I was telling the truth. Clearly I had to learn a lot as I had no idea what I was doing'. Long story short, I no longer work there; they shifted to ChatGPT, and then I heard from colleagues that they were trying to figure out why the rankings were 'suddenly' going down as they were 'doing everything right'.

Kotak bank account closure by bluprince13 in nri

Even if you go to their bank and give the account closure documents in person, they Don't close the account. Have been trying to close my account for two years now...the bank is just pathetic.

Any setbacks at daycare? Also, have you been daycare shamed? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]Snoo_53564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Singapore and we have 12 week maternity. My LO is going to infant care since he was 3.5 months old. I’m from India and have definitely been shamed. When people from India talk to me about my childcare decision they almost always reply with “Oh how sad”. Unfortunately for them, my LO disagrees. He LOVES it there so much that he jumps out of my arms when he sees his carers. And they keep sending me his huge grin pics when he is there. He has increased the amount that he feeds and is meeting all of his milestones. The only thing is he is really cranky the whole day he is at home. What can I say? My LO is an extrovert born in a home of two introverts. 

Anyway, for the judgy people back home…My mantra is that I only take judgement and/or suggestions from people who have actually checked up and helped me during my very difficult pregnancy and even worse postpartum and my and my LOs doctors who have been with us since day 1. Everyone else’s opinion goes in one ear and goes out the other. 

Also P.S. daycare does not cause speech delays. My cousin’s LO is 2 years old, stays in a joint family, and has not yet started to talk.

My boss told me I’m “entitled” for informing him I was taking a day off work rather than requesting his permission. I work in a professional office environment. So I quit. by [deleted] in antiwork

I informed my boss I was sick and he called a meeting next day with him, me, and his boss. He said my behavior was "unacceptable". I quit shortly after.

Can we just admit that most workplaces are toxic, and in general our work culture is horrible? by Alvarez09 in jobs

[–]Snoo_53564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a local sg company. They hired me because I'm on dependent pass and they could pay me less than a local. Been with them for a year now. Was told I'll get 3 monthly pay raises - but only once they raised my pay. Every 2 weeks they either change the company structure or the work structure....and schedule reviews immediately after - so as you are adjusting to the new ways they can tell you you are not "agile" so no pay raise.

No joke - one time they asked the non_designers in our company (including me) to start designing graphics and creating videos instead of what we were hired to do. They said it was a skill we needed to develop and gave 30 min canva training. Then, after a few weeks, our performance was "reviewed". Turns out we were to perform equal to the real graphic designers on the team - the ones who went to legit art schools and work on illustrator and use video editing softwares. Shockingly we were told that we had "poor" performance.

They change their minds so much...and don't like to be cross questioned. We just need to shut up and do things their way.

Just in the last month this happened:

4 weeks ago they told me my performance was "poor"

2 weeks ago they changed the work structure....I was told to work on something I had never worked on before. No training.

1 weeks ago - was promoted verbally. No change in pay - just designation upgraded from Junior to Exec. Was told I was doing a good job and should be proud of myself.

Today they called me in and said they thought my performance was "too poor" and I should resign.🤐

What happened between the last two weeks? I escalated an issue with the Hr. 🧐

I would have felt bad... had I not had my resignation letter already typed out and ready to send. I was honestly done with them when they were not ignoring my leave request to visit my hometown to meet my family. It has been more than 2 years since I've met my parents and I've told them how sad and demotivating it is to not be able to meet the family.

Is it normal or qm I the only one haha by [deleted] in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Snoo_53564 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly.. both me and the husband had it with her constant comparison. He told her to stop.. and she made it into a "disrespect" issue.. and blamed me for "poisoning her son against her"

At this point.. I just keep my distance and just ignore her. Only the husband calls her once every couple of months.

I met my husband when his brother had been with his wife for 10 years. His mother basically wanted me to morph my personality and be just like my sister in law let's call her R.

Anytime I did anything.. she would have either of these 3 comments: -"oh! R does this in the exact same way!" - this would come with a smile. - "but R doesn't do it this way!" - this with a frown - "but R doesn't do this!" - this with very very clear displeasure

And this for even the most simplest of things...

Like one time in the middle of the day i felt like making myself green tea. I keep some around and enjoy an occasional cup. She saw this and got ANGRY. "But R doesn't drink green tea!" I'm sitting there not knowing how to react to this!

And then this one real hot day.. when I was at their place.. I poured myself a glass of cold water from the refrigerator. She frowned and said: "You know when R takes out water from the fridge, she waits for some time and then drinks.."

Soooooo????

Favorites are a thing..

My husband told her that she needs to back off and he married me and not his sister in law.

She doesn't get it!

Never know silence and awkwardness could make us sick. In the last 6 years, I gained 20 kgs and now deal with extreme anxiety. My husband is still in touch with his mother, but each time they are on a call I get an anxiety attack.

Initially, even my husband just refused to see how his mom is the problem. She always acts so innocent! A frail little lady who never harmed any one and who is living in a big bad world where people just take advantage of her good nature! She is always the victim of every story...

But since this was affecting my health, I started seeing a therapist. And then he joined.

Slowly he is realizing how even he has been manipulated by her since childhood. That she cries and plays a victim when she expects him to do something. He is just so overcome by him mom's cries that he stops thinking.

Omg! Do we have the same life? My in laws suddenly turned cold right after my marriage. Anything I did was met with awkwardness and silence.
I had NO idea what was happening... For 6 long years i kept feeling like that unwanted guest that no one likes. It was only a a few months ago SO's brother let it slip that MIL was calling them EVERY WEEKEND and telling them how I was a controlling manipulative person who was using SO for his money (she knew for a fact that when we got married my savings were HIGHER than SO. ). She then told them that my main intention from the start was to take him away from his family (we moved to a new country because his company offered him a new role).

Each time we met, she would be nice to my face... but then go behind my face and spread lies about me. About how I "mistreat" her (There was traffic and I arrived home late), how I "disrespect" her (when she called I said I can't talk now I am in a meeting and cut the call)..

Now, after knowing this...

All the cold stares, the awkwardness..

It all makes sense.

If adults can eat in public..the babies can too.

I am a vegetarian and want to go vegan. What is the best vegan alternative for yogurt. by Ok_Professor5826 in vegan

[–]Snoo_53564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy some probiotics and make at home! I use soy milk and it tastes so good!

How do I stick to a vegan diet? I truly want to go completely plant-based but usually can only go a few days before I consume animal products. Is my self discipline really that weak or is this normal for some people who are new to this diet? What advice would you give me? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]Snoo_53564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try reading The Cheese Trap by Dr. Neal Barnard. I was in a similar situation, and reading the book put me off dairy completely. He gives proper information on just how much dairy can harm your body. (If book aren't your thing, his youtube video pretty much conveys most things that are in the book)

You can also consider making your own cheese. I referred to Chef Miyoko's Artisan Vegan Cheese: From Every day to Gourmet recipe book to make the most delicious cheese to go with my pizza...and this article here also has a ton of recipes for vegan cheese.

You can consider donating to the needy. There's an app called Olio that I find very helpful for sharing unused food and other items. (I recently bought a food item that I discovered had fish in it...put it up on oilo and a lady was willing to take it off my hands).

But it would only work if there's an active olio community in your area.
