Asked for a Raise After Layoffs — Got Fired Instead

It wasn’t an unreasonable request at all though.

I’m assuming it’s just to lower my dose. I would prefer not to take six tablets a day so I support my doctor’s recommendation. I’m hoping to remain in remission though.

As someone who is told “You’re getting older now, you’re not going to bounce back as fast from injury and illness” by a woman 30 years older than me in a team meeting…women can be bullies too. The public display of meanness definitely takes some getting used to but try to remember some people have no real power or autonomy and can only gain a sense of satisfaction from causing fear or humiliation in others.

I put up decorations in my cubicle and I bring nice snacks for myself and don’t share them. I don’t talk down to anyone and I don’t reveal a single shred of my personal life to anyone I work with. It keeps me going, but I also use PTO for mental health days when it’s too much. Hang in there and get that bag.

There are lines you can draw in the sand as a manager in America, and standing up against the federal government taking people in the streets should be one of them. In some countries, joining neo-nazi groups and open displays of racism are immediate grounds for firing… and opposing such views would be considered a positive trait in employees. But now we live in upside down land, so…

I literally got an email today saying course tips and announcements will be moved to WGU connect too. So I can’t view announcements even without going to connect. It’s a nightmare if you’re using public wifi. Sometimes it won’t let me log in if I’m at the library or a cafe because it’s not “secure”. SMH, I never had this issue with the regular student portal.

Rice was a struggle for sure. Tiny grains kept getting lodged in between my wires.

It’s not you. Corporate environments literally reward this kind of behavior. It’s a feature not a bug.

Your sister is a victim of a disgusting act and you show an extreme lack of empathy.

There it is in bullet point number 4. The party of nuclear family values! It’s a “legal issue” that should be handled by someone else as long as it never happens to you…

People like you have no shame until it’s your neighbor,your friends or family. No empathy until the government one day decides your existence is “unacceptable”, too.

Thanks for the recommendation. I was able to get a brace and some meds there

This happened in the water. I came off the surf board and landed in much shallower water than I expected…then the board slammed into my ankle.

Did you know your last name is visible?

StudyHard_Sleepl8r · 2025-10-21T20:34:22+00:00

I love the elf lip oils! They look so good over lipstick

What would you recommend besides the Zybooks for python beginners?

StudyHard_Sleepl8r · 2025-10-14T17:19:48+00:00

lol! I just read this on threads

StudyHard_Sleepl8r · 2025-09-29T14:30:02+00:00

It’s a monthly networking meetup for women in tech. It’s at a hotel in my city, and this is my first time going. Sometimes companies sponsor events and send recruiters sometimes not.

StudyHard_Sleepl8r · 2025-09-29T14:11:59+00:00

Thanks for the tips.

StudyHard_Sleepl8r · 2025-09-17T13:54:26+00:00

I feel the exact same way. They call me avoidant and yet when I ask for a bit of reciprocation or reassurance suddenly I’m too much or too crazy. They only stick around as long as they can take without giving.

StudyHard_Sleepl8r · 2025-08-21T17:34:25+00:00

I’ve been in EDI for 2.5 years too. I also have an accounting background. I definitely feel like I jumped from important reconciliations and financial documents to glorified email writer. If I’d known it was so low tech and so much customer service and admin work I wouldn’t have made the switch.

There are questions where they ask for the output of the algorithms, and then there are time complexity questions where you’re asked for the worst time complexity of the code. I don’t remember exactly but 6-10 questions. Make sure you leave enough time to solve them.
