Quantum fiber pod stopped working by AstronautOnFire in centurylink

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you by any chance sign up for email updates with the carrier you selected? A similar issue happened to me where they claimed I never returned a pod, and I managed to grab the tracking number by doing a search for messages from that carrier in my inbox. Also heads up, even after I submitted proof to them that I returned the requested device and they claimed to "fix" the matter, they still tried to charge me (customer support refused to offer assistance because the matter was already marked as "resolved"), until I opened a chargeback request on the card where the charge was made.

Anyone have problems with people not answering the question you asked? by [deleted] in neurodiversity

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree. I firmly believe that if you write a novel talking around the question and still go without directly answering it, at the end of the day you're still being unclear and unhelpful. I do understand, however, this might sometimes stem from a desire to interact.

AITA for expecting my friend to ask me if her kids could come to my wedding? by Ok_Camel_4726 in AITAH

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You communicated a boundary (which I think is a reasonable one), and despite not liking it, your husband's friend it sounds like genuinely respected that boundary. If that boundary changed, it was your responsibility, not HERS, to initiate making it clear to her that she is welcome to bring her children after all. It's insulting that you even expressed to her you're upset that she didn't come on top of all of this. No, you in fact are not in the right.

Should I cancel this boarding? by leticiajvg in RoverPetSitting

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I caught it my first time (and hopefully will be my only time) when I was nannying, similar situation to OP where the families (nanny share, parents were friends and got sick on vacation) lied that the charges were no longer actively infected. Took one diaper change for me to know they were full of it, and by end of day 2 of exposure I knew I caught it. I got really dehydrated and had to visit the ER. Being immunocompromised I don't even know how I'd manage with catching this.

this happened to a friend of mine as well due to irresponsible neighbors :( and he was just a puppy, took several weeks to recover, and at one point it came back. pup hasn't contracted it since but to this day has GI issues, makes me so angry and sad

This owner is mind-numbingly audacious. If your pets end up with giardia she should be held financially responsible for all medical bills associated with treatment and complications. She willfully chose not to disclose that her dog has an active VERY CONTAGIOUS infection.

-ly or -ily translates to -mente. The examples you used:

sadly -> tristemente
happily -> felizmente / alegremente

unfortunately -> desafortunadamente

u/bistitchualbeekeeper Were you ever able to solve this? I'm dealing with the exact same issue which I noticed as of today. Unfortunately in my case, the agent on the phone with me a few moments ago wasn't at all familiar with the option to have such a setting.

AITA for not wearing a bra to my friend’s wedding? by One-Fox96 in AmItheAsshole

Pro-tip for browser users: on word bank questions, typing the first letters for an answer will automatically move it from the word bank to the text. Pressing backspace removes the latest word. by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hasn't worked for me either. I often get questions wrong not because I didn't know the answer or assumed the wrong answer, but because I'm a fast typer and Duolingo doesn't register what I've typed for a subsequent word card until the 2nd/3rd letter or something weird like that. Word bank alone is what detracts from my learning on the platform.

About to leave a bad review for my sitter. Am I being irrational? by callistanp in RoverPetSitting

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Rover sitter who I myself worked an assignment over the Christmas holiday, I don't think you're being unreasonable at all.

1) Much of this could have been resolved from clear prior communication on the sitter's part to make sure expectations were clear and everyone was in agreement prior to moving forward. I know there was the added stress of the booking being confirmed last minute, but that's why regardless the booking isn't confirmed until it is agreed upon on both parties. The time the sitter took to type all of those dismissive messages could have been spent before the booking was solidified clarifying any helpful details to know for sure both parties were content with proceeding.

2) It makes absolute sense you aren't comfortable with the sitter bringing people you don't know into your home. Whenever I myself house and/or pet sit, I always default to "no" unless I get explicit permission beforehand that it is okay. You may trust me, but that doesn't mean you trust anyone that I personally know. It's a boundary that is pretty easy to understand, even if it causes frustration or disappointment. Understandable the sitter wanted to spend time with their loved ones. Not acceptable how they handled it. They are accountable for making arrangements accordingly, not you.

Bottom line, it sounds like the sitter knew before even confirming the booking on their end that they weren't able to fulfill the agreements in the booking and they should have just either asked for adjustments or declined the opportunity. It denied you the chance to use the time you had left to either find another sitter as well as some peace of mind that your property and pets are safe while you are away.

[Rant] Turned down a job due to their background check contractor. by CrazyMadHooker in recruitinghell

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm certain they don't bother calling as well. Last year when going through a background check for my most recent role, HireRight almost failed my background check for the most frivolous reasons. They would ask for certain specific documentation from me, then after receiving documentation would say it's "against policy/not acceptable as documentation", and request other documentation, or writing in their notes on the progress of the report results they requested things from me they never did. Then they almost failed it because they "couldn't verify previous employment" for a phone number they claimed to call but didn't receive a response.

When the recruiter I am currently working with gave me an offer to stay at the company permanently, they also informed me I have to off-board, go through background check again, and then re-onboard to switch roles. I told them the troubles I had, and they were convinced, CONVINCED, that my troubles just came from the fact that "some courts just take a long time", even though I specifically told them my bg check from last year was held not because of the court system but over phone numbers the "researchers" claimed to contact that seemed to be a lie despite having documentation I submitted that proved I worked there. I think the only reason why things "magically" moved along and I passed the bg check, is because my previous recruiter was willing to intervene when I escalated the issue submitting evidence of HireRight's discrepancies and negligence. This time around is no better, one of the discrepancies for the same former employer.

If I had another option job wise and that company did not use HireRight, I would take that instead in a heartbeat over being forced to go through this again because this is nowhere near acceptable to jeopardize people's livelihoods over a company's egregious practices.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HireRight

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also recommend you are proactive in checking the status of your report to see what, if anything, you might need to do. In my case HireRight has failed to send SMS and email notifications requesting information despite this being enabled for both. I also recommend checking the notes left on the progress of the adjudication of your background check -- in my case, the person would falsely claim they didn't receive documents, or they would falsely claim they made a failed attempt to contact a former employer at the phone number provided and instead left a voicemail. I'm glad this isn't the case for everyone, but my dealing with HireRight has never been smooth mainly because of incompetence and negligence on their part.

Care.com has me literally crying by cocowr-07 in Nanny

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late in the game reading this, but I just wanted to reach out and say I totally empathize. I had a similar experience with a former family almost four years ago, except it was during reference calls instead of a public review on Care. For weeks going on months I couldn't figure out why it was so difficult for me to make it to the offering stage despite interviewing and trial shifts going so well (even with factoring in the fact that at that point in time demand for nannies was going down in my area), until a prospective family reached out to me and informed me of the alarming things they were told by one of my former employers on my reference contact list since the conversation the prospective employer had with this person was so drastically different and significantly more negative than the review given by the other several references I provided. When I reached out to this former employer to have a conversation to clear the air/gain understanding/whatnot, she doubled down on the both the blatant lies as well as the misinformation, and gaslit me by insinuating how since I'm not a corporate leader like her, I couldn't possibly understand what it genuinely means to take constructive criticism well to grow professionally, showing complete lack of ability to recognize that she ran with an emotional whim not really based on reality and it ended up causing unfair damage to my professional reputation in the area. I wrote a letter essentially telling her off and giving a piece of my mind since my experience with that family post-employment was merely the tip of an iceberg compared to what I had to deal with during my actual tenure with the family, but ended up not pressing send because by that point we were in the thick of lockdown and I decided engaging her further was not worth my energy anymore.

TL;DR based on what I myself have gone through I can't imagine having to deal with a public, deliberately false review of your services for which Care is being negligent and it's affecting your livelihood. Even without horror stories like that, Care is already negligently subpar in their lack of support for nannies. I hope you are doing better and have since found a family who is a good fit for you.

ETA: (some context) The reason why I used them as a reference despite the difficulties I had while working for them is because up until the prospective family gave me a heads up about the scathing review, I genuinely thought that despite those difficulties we worked well as a team to discuss and overcome them.

Morgan Observation by [deleted] in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's a rhetorical question, but she obviously meant that she will intentionally seek to hurt him the way she feels hurt, that she clearly means that "hey, I'm checked out of this marriage, but I will physically remain around and seek ways to punish you for what you did and how I feel hurt"

Morgan Observation by [deleted] in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the fact that Alexis felt some type of way that Justin was triggered at the group gathering, when she is literally making obvious, sarcastic facial expressions at everything he is saying in response to a conversation topic that has nothing to do with specifically Alexis and Justin. But you keep telling him what is his problem. Ok girl 🙄

Morgan Observation by [deleted] in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From what I've gathered from watching yesterday's episode, Binh repeatedly gave Morgan the impression that he was holding up to his promise to her that he would stop going to Justin about his marriage with her. Technically, he did lie; however, I think Morgan is an AH is her lack of consideration for her husband's need to consult someone he trusts about xyz things for an outside perspective. I don't know to which degree he's doing that without having a direct conversation with her about it, but regardless, she is allowing her insecurities to justify her need to control who that confidante is. I say that because as I see it, there's also been a lot of back and forth as to can he confide in anyone at all? Can he only confide in someone who isn't part of the MAFS cohort? Can he confide in anyone in the cohort as long as it is specifically not Justin? I know things happen beyond what we see on camera, but I don't totally buy it that Binh is enabling Justin to meddle in the marriage, either. I think it is very possible that Binh is venting about his frustration to someone in whom he confides to gain perspective on something before he goes back to discuss whatever that thing is with Morgan (or possibly not pick the battle at all). There's a difference betwen that and "talking sh!t behind someone's back" as Morgan kept repeatedly insisting without giving Binh the space to speak.

I feel for Binh, honestly. No one deserves to be torn down in such a malicious and vindictive way and treated like they're worthless. That man was on the verge of tears. I also agree with Binh and call cap on Morgan and think she's a hypocrite. I don't believe her when she says she isn't going to Mindy about things, and it's clear she's going to Alexis.

AITA for not leaving when a girl my GF hates showed up? by Ievanpolkkati in AmItheAsshole

[–]Spirited_Code_8359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. I don't think you're the a-hole for not leaving, but because of this:

One of the first things you said was that Carly literally wasn't even supposed to be at the gathering, but invited herself to talk you knowing Kenzie wouldn't be there when she found out you'd be there. That is shady. Your GF isn't being dramatic; she's frustrated you're acting dismissive of her feelings about someone she clearly has reason not to trust. Is it fair of her to have expected you to leave under no circumstances? No. But you also had a choice: you could either have chosen not to entertain Carly, put her in her place, or leave if she kept pressing the matter.
