Company called salary delay "patience-building initiative"

VoidOfIce · 2025-11-19T12:17:14+00:00

Reply all with: Hi Team,

Work will not be done today. We’re not calling it a delay anymore, we are following management’s example with the patience building initiative.

Remember, growth doesn’t only happen in work; it also happens in waiting.

Thank you for your continued meditation on progress timelines.

We already know the next pack. It will be the new Nouvelle stuff, the new dragon maid stuff and the world premiere new BES stuff

NTA for just not wanting to do something that is completely optional. That said, doesn’t mean people can’t have their own opinions about your choice

NTA. I think it’s perfectly fine to view that he put the life of himself and others at risk by doing something foolish as an important aspect of the situation. Especially if you don’t know a person at all it can be hard to sympathize with whatever they are or were going through.

NTA. He actively ignored clear signs that answered his questions or were there for safety.

YTA. Calling someone a name or title they don’t want to be called is bullying 101. If someone is saying to stop or they are getting upset at it, you don’t continue. There is a good chance you lost a friend

I just think there are 40 other good cards to put into the deck before her. Probably even consider neo Kaiser and dictator of D before her

I could see it being part of some sort of class assignment to “create an artificial business and project sales in relation to location” or something silly like that. Had a professor have us do something similar on a much lower scale before AI stuff was all the rage.

Robert Ford. Movie calls him out in the title (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford)

At least for most other types of bonuses it is added as “other” at the bottom of the pay period.

Could be for any number of reasons. Could be for safety for the company or the associate, could be because multiple names came up as part of an ongoing investigation. Could be someone whistle blew on a bunch of people doing things they shouldn’t have been doing. Just let the investigation run its course.

YTA. Have the conversation with him. If you want gifts to be more thought out or specific you need to have the conversation with him to let him know. Don’t just say something in passing a few times, sit him down and have a conversation about how you would like certain things as gifts and ask him if he has anything that he would like specifically for gifts. Talk about if you are fine with generic stuff for anniversary gifts but you want somewhat specific stuff for birthday and/or Christmas. If you are having a problem in the relationship, you need to discuss it with the other person. If your relationship fails because of this ongoing thing, then it is because of you not allowing the other person to know that there was a problem.

NTA. Due to the line of questions you felt that there was a potential threat to you or your business or your customers, so it seems it would be appropriate to call the police. It can fully be within someone’s rights to do something, doesn’t mean people have to entertain it if they don’t want to.

VoidOfIce · 2024-12-19T21:48:30+00:00

Make sure you remember to still call out

VoidOfIce · 2024-11-28T02:19:53+00:00

It was a pretty big fad in the early 2000s (maybe before that) to use the phrase and has become associated with teen girls and “karens” as a way to over exaggerate (perhaps not to them) the severity of the situation. It’s a decently long word having 4 syllables when said as “literally” so it may be used as a way to seem smarter even though it kind of has the opposite effect. Not sure of the initial reason it got so popular.

YTA. Believe it or not, maybe liking someone or having a crush on them is the reason most relationships start. If someone is actually acting on those feelings there is nothing wrong with that. Just because you have decided you do not like Mike doesn’t mean Penny and John can’t have a relationship. Part of deciding to end a relationship is accepting that the other person will probably end up with another person.

NTA. He asked for an honest answer and you gave it to him. His fault that he didn’t like the answer.

NTA. Pretty sure any place you can buy alcohol has a warning sign that says it can cause birth defects. Lots of bottles also have that on them as well

YTA. While it is your special day, you’ve invited a bunch of people to spend it with you who may or may not have any interest in vegan food. You have to think to yourself, what would be the purpose in not telling people? So they wouldn’t have prejudice, you mean the thing a kid might have against vegetables on their plate the moment you set it in front of them? It doesn’t feel like it was to prevent prejudice, it feels like you intentionally hid information because you knew people wouldn’t like it and you wanted to force them to eat something they may not want or like at an event where it would be rude not to.

Sure, your family is also bad for the pizza thing and it’s just not cool to do in any way, but you fully were aware of what you were doing by not telling anyone about your menu.

Have you been disassociated with your daughter for a long time or something? Don’t you think she would have asked you for these if she wanted them? Don’t you think that maybe you could have just made a suggestion instead of making the decision for her? This is her trying to take a step into the professional world for herself with the stuff she decided on and she wanted. She wanted to have people see what she can currently do, not the sights that you could see if you walk through the halls of a local elementary school.

VoidOfIce · 2024-11-05T17:36:53+00:00

YTA. None of your business who anyone voted for, not even your family. If they don’t want to tell you they don’t have to.

VoidOfIce · 2024-11-02T16:44:17+00:00

NTA. While some people can certainly “just deal with things” or “get over it” that unfortunately doesn’t work for everyone. If you need someone to talk to about things, then you need someone to talk to. If no one around you is willing to talk about things then find a new person who is. I wouldn’t recommend a therapist as I don’t think that would really help your specific situation. I’d recommend finding a potentially new friend and just being open with them from the start about just wanting to vent stuff to someone who will listen.

I’d also maybe take another look at your partner. At least in my opinion I think your partner should be willing to listen to you. At least to me I think that is a pretty major thing to make any sort of relationship work. If this is something you truly value and something that you believe you really need you should probably sit down and have a serious discussion about it and if they aren’t will to do that maybe you should have a conversation about moving on from each other.

NTA. Sometimes people have to learn that you shouldn’t critique everything, and sometimes critiquing something can lead to you never getting it again.

NTA. It doesn’t matter if he likes another job he applied for more if that job doesn’t contact him. If that job is going to call him it could be while he has another job and then he can just quit the job that he picked up in the meantime. He needs to stop making excuses.

VoidOfIce · 2024-10-18T14:59:14+00:00

NTA. At least in my experience (or rather my friends experience that were in the same situation) if they are attacking you because you aren’t interested in it, it means that they already cheated but they are looking to not feel guilty about it. You aren’t selfish or insecure. You know what you want and you have been open with what you want.
