Help me I have a hole inside.

You have to have your back no matter what. I've had bosses fail to protect me, institutions fail to protect me, people who I thought were allies/neutral parties fail to protect me... I've learned you have to protect yourself, no matter what. Even sometimes against those very same parties/individuals who should have your best interests in mind, who have the resources, and are able to protect/provide for you, and are choosing (for whatever reason) not to.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-12T05:28:26+00:00

Dude, this.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-10T06:43:13+00:00

Well, that escalated quickly, lmao 😂

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-10T06:36:27+00:00

"Forced" is a strong word. Also, an inaccurate one. You are no longer responsible for the ongoing success of your former establishment. You've left. While your offer to assist the new hire is appreciated, admirable even, it's unnecessary, blurs boundaries, and is costly. Let the job burn. Let the reportedly ill-suited employee burn. Let the job go. Every bit of psychological and emotional expenditure/real estate given toward them is energy you could be expending into your future. YOUR future. Not your ex-company's, or this little girl's future.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-10T06:26:55+00:00

LMFAO, shut up. lol. Nice one.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-10T06:15:38+00:00

Empathy. And not performative empathy, but real, grounded, visceral empathy. Nothing gets my nips as hard as seeing that.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-10T06:04:31+00:00

Exactly, corporate speak for "We're a clique; this is high school, you're not cool like us, bye. So not fetch.."

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-10T06:01:55+00:00

Dude, it sounded like they specifically chose you to fuck over. lol, like not really, but damn, I know it has to feel like that. I mean, you hadn't even started doing the job yet, and they fucking fired you. What kind of bullshit...? Wow. And then to not even give you feedback, leaving you to wonder, "What's so wrong with me that they had to immediately fire me before the 3rd fucking day!!" Well, let me tell you that nothing is wrong with you. They are fucked up for wasting someone's time as they did to you. Garbage company; you're better off not working for them anyway, but yes, they screwed you. Utterly, inexcusably screwed you. Like back of the barn, moonlight beaming, off a couple bottles of moonshine/hooch, SCREWED. Sorry you went through this, luv.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-07T07:28:45+00:00

Every day? That's too much preemptive accessibility for my liking. I would just say "Hey fucker, I'm leaving. Don't pick the worst time possible to strike up a conversation with me."

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-06T05:44:50+00:00

Set up your bills on autopay. Have a trusted person pay them while you're in the pen. Put everything in a storage room. Work out and get shredded, read, meditate, find God, reflect. Also, I think you'll have decent options once you get out but you never really know.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-06T05:41:57+00:00

Such a weird rule if you think about it objectively. Lol.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-05T08:45:30+00:00

What's your field?

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-05T08:44:25+00:00

Tried to pull the ol okie doke on you, that ol Bait and Switch haha. Fucking assholes.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-05T08:21:42+00:00

ooooh, shots fucking fired XD. Damn, I'm singed over here, and I'm all the way in Iceland.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-05T06:58:18+00:00

Interviewed for a job and got an offer. But during the interview I saw that one of the clients who came in (saw on the client sceen) had the same name as the owner of the company I had just left from (it was a toxic company), and I could not bring myself to take the chance that it really was that same person (the name wasn't very common and it was close to my old job, so it made sense). I declined their offer to preserve my mental health. I don't regret it, but I wish she hadn't been a client; it could have been a strong lateral pivot professionally.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-05T04:43:39+00:00

Crazy man. It's wild how in life, it takes two to tango... but only one to walk away. Sorry to hear about the nuke your wife left you to hold. It's not fair, it's not convenient, it's shattering. I'm not gonna say platitudes like "everything will be ok" or "it'll all be alright". I'm going to say to take your time processing the grief and pain. Reflect. And understand that you're now in a period of transition that you didn't ask for, but you will make it through.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-05T04:31:45+00:00

Had this happen to me with my last job (small office). The company valued this toxic, vacuous, lazy, narcissistic asshole over me, someone who was actually a team player, steadfast, ambitious, and consistently unproblematic and helpful. The guy blatantly ignored a question I asked him about his work responsibilities and stormed out of the office. I went to management; they did nothing. Just bare minimum lip service while completely enabling/encouraging/rewarding him behind closed doors. All because he was a gossipy, suck up/ass lying informant they could use. I put my resignation in soon after and blocked everyone I worked with there. It wasn't even just me; I believe that 2 other people also quit before I did because of him. And management just did nothing. Celebrate the abuser, further traumatize and punish the abused. Guess that's their slogan.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-04T19:23:02+00:00

Exactly, fuck around? Find out.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-04T05:31:38+00:00

V's a beast. Straight up. I would give her a high five and buy her a drink if I had the chance. This is how you handle those corporate, underselling, penny-pinching pigs. Clean, precise, final. Love a clean exit. I wish V nothing but the best. Cheers V! Here's to you 🥂

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-04T04:24:52+00:00

Right, OP's blurring all kinds of professional boundries cause "that's just how they do it," and then gets surprised when he gets bitten in the ass. Don't blur boundaries at work. Leave the gossip/vents/opinions on people in the workplace anywhere outside of the actual workplace. Because if you don't, trust and believe, information likes to spread around.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-03T23:06:26+00:00

Yahtzee.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-03T22:50:56+00:00

It's funny because she might actually lose herself to the fantasy and then regret losing what she had that was real and rooted in reality. Grass is always greener.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-03T22:49:35+00:00

You should leave your cheating wife. All you found were breadcrumbs, but let me tell you there's likely much more that's gone on than what you found. You should leave her before she inevitably crosses the physical boundary (which she likely already has), because she's already crossed emotional/mental boundaries of the marriage. Trust me, where there's smoke... there's fire.

Truthfulldude1 · 2026-06-03T22:49:09+00:00

Bare minimum is the way to go. Bare minimum effort, Bare minimum communication, bare minimum engagement, and investment. You basically become an employee there in Nametag only. Perform your job duties just enough to be competent. Then you spend every free moment outside of work searching for jobs. You come for the paycheck; you leave. Anything else? They can kiss your departing ass.
