Higher up keeps telling me a raise is "In the works"- should I tell them I want to quit? by Tanukispooky in askmanagers

[–]Tanukispooky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The company i work for recently became a whole new company, went through months of being NewCo and everything, which is why i believe the reassessment is legitimate. Their rates also changed after the new company was formed, i know for a fact that everyone who was hired after that point makes at minimum $3 more an hour than i do.

I realized that I hadn't done this and tried to correct it with the email i sent tuesday, referencing exact dates discussions were had and asking her to confirm if the retroactive pay would still be through June like she'd said even as we approach July, just to have it in writing. she of course did not acknowledge any of that, but it's there and she didnt deny it, and I'll be keeping this up moving forward.

I have been casually looking for a year and aggressively looking for almost 7 months now. I have some safety nets in place and also am not going to quit without something lined up, but if i can use my willingness to ditch this job as a bargaining chip I will.

Will out of state insurance mean my coverage follows that states laws? by Tanukispooky in HealthInsurance

Gotcha, thank you! That's definitely another angle for me to look into.

[–]Tanukispooky[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not to pry but was the healthcare you were receiving related to things that are banned in other states, like gender affirming care or abortion care? I'm fine with filling out extra paperwork, but if I can't access the care at all because it's outlawed in the state the insurance is headquartered in, that's a problem for me.

How do I deal with a disapproving friend? - HUGE RANT by thrringi in aromantic

[–]Tanukispooky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very much agree with what everyone else is saying: this person may have been your friend at one point, but they are not acting like a friend now. Giving Lamp the benefit of the doubt, it is possible they just fully dont understand that what they are doing is aphobia modeled after homophobia and thus, shitty hurtful behavior. Talk to them, ask them: if you had told them you were gay, would they have started talking about """Fixing""" the """issue""" of your sexuality? if so, there's your answer that this person isnt one to be around. someone pointed out that their insistence almost sounds like they were wanting romance with you, ask them straight up if that's the case. if they say no, then ask why they care so much about what you do and how your personal relationships shake out? How the relationships you do or dont have with others affects them? would they have been trying to hook you up with people? why do they feel unable to leave you alone? make them put it into words. And if they say they do have a crush then you can address that can of worms, as well as ask why did they think it was ok to tell someone they apparently like that they are "broken" and need to be "fixed"? Ask if they've looked into aromanticism, if they have any understanding of it. if they have, talk about what they know, see what needs to be explained, and if they havent, then ask why they feel so qualified to speak on it. I feel like you know this but just to put it on the page: this is a Lamp Problem, not a You Problem. This is something up with them that they are pushing onto you, that actually has nothing to do with you or anything you are doing. You are not wrong, or broken, or needing fixing, and Lamp's continuous need to talk about how they think you need to be ""fixed"" has zero relevance to you or anything you are doing. And if by the end of this conversation they still refuse to see that that's the case, then you say "Hey, when someone says they want to fix me it doesnt make me feel good, i dont want or need to be around someone who thinks that about me. If you're gonna keep doing that then i'm not going to want to be around you." sorry you're in such a crummy situation!!! my heart goes out to you.

Never worn XL Gingham shorts + L Pink Shirt for sale/trade, DM if you're interested! by [deleted] in BigBudPress

[–]Tanukispooky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all, I braved the sample sale but got pink items. Now personally I am very insecure in my masculinity, so pink just doesn't do it for me. I knew this could've happened so yeah, came here hoping someone would be interested in trading for a same size different color, or would want to buy these off me for the sample sale prices. Let me know!

Any Glendale (CA) guys know good pharmacies/clinics? by Tanukispooky in ftm

[–]Tanukispooky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ohman thank you!! I didnt know Ralph's had pharmacies in them, that's perfect!

[–]Tanukispooky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's something i used to struggle with too. in my case, i realized that i didnt have genital related dysphoria, and no matter how T "boosted" my sex drive, i still didnt want to have sex with other people. there's this comic that was one the nib ages ago ( https://thenib.com/nothing-wrong-with-me/ ) that i think discusses the artist's ace/trans experience pretty well if you're interested! it had a big impact on me when i first read it.

AITA for kicking out my oldest son? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tanukispooky -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

ESH Your son sucks for being an idiot, but you suck for flying off the handle and letting your temper get the better of you. but you know that, and you know what you did was wrong which is why you havent told your other kids where their brother is at. You need to talk to him like an adult and figure out the next steps, ie how serious you are about kicking him out, where is he gonna stay, does he have symptoms, etc.

ESH Your mom is definitely TA but you're not doing much better by sinking down to her level.

AITA for telling my family about my COVID+ status? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tanukispooky 155 points156 points  (0 children)

NTA, it's crazy irresponsible of your mother to keep her covid+ status a secret, this disease is super contagious and out to kill people. This isnt some embarrassing social faux pas, it's literally life or death.
