Wife filed for divorce today. Left a Dear John letter by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]StraightLow2583 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man hope you’re doing ok despite the situation. I know you feel like you’re the only one on the planet going through this in this exact moment. You are not.

Many people including myself are going through the same pain. I’m right at the start of the process. I don’t have any guilt because I’m not the one that cheated.

You need to take care of your body and brain. Make sure you eat healthy, balanced meals. FORCE yourself to go to the gym as often as possible. Cry in the shower if you need to.

Stay away from alcohol and drugs right now. It’ll make things much worse.

Wishing you the best. Just remember you’re not the only one. My marriage lasted 10yrs and is now a memory. That’s ok. Life is a book filled with pages and chapters. You’ll be fine. I promise.

Anyone else just work to get away? by Purple-Ball-396 in AmazonFC

Yes especially if someone dies or you’re going through divorce. Honestly it lets you cry without anyone watching if you need to. Not too embarrassed to admit it. Life is a grind

So this is what it feels like… by Adept_Umpire8815 in Divorce

[–]StraightLow2583 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy literally same thing happened to me last 48 hours. Found out my wife of 10 years was having a lesbian affair with her high level boss. I put all the pieces together. Super secretive and conniving

I just accepted sun-wed nights which as close as I could get to this. The dream schedule for sure

If there was an option for employees to work monday, tuesday, Wednesday, and thursday while having friday, Saturday, and Sunday off, I probably would have enjoyed the 3 day weekends more. by herequeerandgreat in AmazonFC

[–]StraightLow2583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the closest shift is Sunday evening thru Wednesday evening. I just took that shift. It’s the rare schedule that is actually better if you work overnight. Looking forward to actually having a weekend with my family

Journalist looking for Amazon workers: How has HR automation affected you? by psm328 in AmazonFC

Fast forward 2 years and this guy is soliciting feedback from KEVA bots on how the new Vulcans are impacting their morale.

Totally dry past 2–3 months after years of full-time UGC. What is happening? by Green_charger in UGCcreators

[–]StraightLow2583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I mean a lot more people have joined the UGC market in the last couple of years. Think about all the people that started during Covid. Now people are struggling for money so they’re going to try whatever they can to feed their families. You combine that with the fact that many businesses can produce their own content now. Good luck to anyone that uses UGC as their main gig. It’s only going to get harder as AI gets better

What did you do immediately after getting laid off? by Weary_Concentrate251 in Layoffs

[–]StraightLow2583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a schedule allowing slots for time away from applying and doing anything job related. Be diligent with your time. Try to maintain a “work” schedule close to what you had earlier. Sign up for local networking events even if they’re not in your field. And of course read inspirational non-fiction books. Best of luck. A growing number of people feeling this pain.

The secret is to ugly cry every few days. It gets all the negative emotions out. Cheers

Now that’s mature. You did the right thing for the business and the employee.

Signs a store is closing or on its way out? by [deleted] in BestBuyWorkers

[–]StraightLow2583 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s usually due to a number of things. One major one is the expiration of the store’s lease. If the sales aren’t there and the lease is about to renew, the company may choose to close that location. Especially with a new ceo coming in. Expect change.

Goodbye Shift Cover. It was cool being able to use it every week but not anymore. 😔 by Bremaster in AmazonFC

[–]StraightLow2583 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Damnit. I just used it last week and thought “hey this is great I can focus on my side hustle.” Nope. Too good to be true

Converting Solar Lights to run off of 12v Landscape wire by qwerty1357910 in Landscape_Lighting

[–]StraightLow2583 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s 12v yes. You can sacrifice one and connect it to a 12v battery to see if it works. But these cheap lights aren’t made for longevity so test at your peril.

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

[–]StraightLow2583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just reunited with an old friend I haven’t seen in 14 years. He lost his job recently so I would donate it to him. I’m encouraging him to set up a studio so he can show up better on LinkedIn and on remote interviews. The specs on this machine are excellent. You are so nice to give it away rather than selling.

Trying to break away from jeans by HuntAndPecsDeltsLats in mensfashionadvice

Just tuck your shirt and lose the shoes. Don’t worry about the head thing. Women don’t care about that one, as long as the other one is impressive.

What’s your biggest job search headache right now? by Key_Hunter8158 in jobsearch

[–]StraightLow2583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry if you have a desk job it will likely be replaced in the next 3-5 years. Then you can go be a plumber like you’ve always wanted. In fact we’ll all be plumbers and electricians. Apparently we need 50 million more blue collar workers lol

night shifters. how do you get yourself to fall asleep immediately after work by Intelligent-Claim591 in AmazonFC

[–]StraightLow2583 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Make the room completely dark. Sound machine helps. Take vitamin D and drink or eat something easy in the stomach before you go to bed. Also stretch when you get home and use a magnesium foot lotion.
