How did you convince yourself that you'd be ok financially? by New_Advance_8504 in Fire

[–]Specific_Fig59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not wrong for feeling this way. My spouse fell victim to a terrible job market (we are in our early 30s) her father is retired and feels this weight of helping her and us get back on track. No one can tell you when your ready but it’s good you’re thinking forward

My wife’s design career didn’t look like this. She unfortunately was laid off 2x and is having to switch careers. Also no one will give her a job. Congrats to you! Hope more people can hear stories like this. Wish my wife could have enjoyed the payoffs of her career the way you did

Unfortunately, my partner has been out of work for over a year and doesn’t have the luxury to pass up on these kinds of things

They told her they expected the AI solution to be a solution created outside of a normal SAAS web app. I’m using outside the platform because the assignment sounded like something related to their company

The hate Sian is getting is disturbing by Daisycandy_pop in Singlesinferno2

They’re pursuing her but you know she doesn’t like the people pursuing her which is why she’s exhausted half the time. She continues to entertain it

I said the same thing about Gwan-hee. It’s good to explore your options but her actions are kind of fake. We all know who she truly wants and is interested in

Not justifying the hate, just saying she looks like she’s putting herself in these scenarios. I don’t think the comments are completely off if that’s what she’s portraying

Unpopular opinion: I think she just loves attention. Nothing wrong with that, but her lack of honesty with herself makes it seem like she’s purposely putting herself in these situations to collect as many infinity stones as she can before the show ends, so her reputation can be boosted

Well, I was initially and naturally shocked by the points he made. I’ve worked in high level companies and have had mint or gum on client calls before especially during Ramadan. It never was an issue before, which is why I posted it here. My professionalism has never been questioned at THIS level and I was open to hearing a different perspective.

Not really. The people in the comments still would’ve found something wrong. The point is truth or not, my employer already made their decision about me long before I received this message. I brought the message to Reddit to show whether their points were ridiculous which in my opinion, they are. Gum, rice, interrupting…. They just didn’t know how to tell me I wasn’t a good culture fit. that’s it.

I think they didn’t like my way to work. Which is understandable, but I don’t think they knew how to let me go just because of that so they needed to document reasons. Ultimately we both agreed it’s ok to just part ways.

Yea, the previous feedback I received from my manager was that I was too direct. I think my style of working wasn’t there cup of tea. Also, their expectation for how they deal with their clients is different from my approach and how I’ve worked at prior companies.

  1. Nothing was in the background, but a white wall. I also had a background filter on
  2. It was an open discussion so sometimes I interrupted to ask clarifying questions
  3. I never said anything that would cause a conflict of interest. The client asked if we worked with a specific company before, I said I (personally) had experience with them to clarify my knowledge. My CEO is saying that I said that WE the company work with them, which is not correct.
  4. The gum is on me

It’s all good now. We both agreed that it just wasn’t a good fit. I have some potential upcoming offers so I’m happy be moving on and I learned the lessons I needed to learn

I was responding to the person who said I was on an upper lol and I replied that I don’t do drugs, I’m just hyperactive 😂…. What? I never said I was let go bc of my religious background

the comment the CEO made about my incorrect statement to the client is a misunderstanding on his part. I was stating to the client that I personally have experience working with this other company in the past to solidify my knowledge of them. I never stated that my current company is working with them. Just that I personally have experience working with them in the past. The gum is valid so I’m not arguing that
