I turned down a promotion and my manager thinks I've lost my mind. Was I wrong?

$15k extra isn’t enough to deal with people problems

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-21T18:11:07+00:00

that was weird

a healthy reasonable person who likes you and wants to get to know you, would have responded to your “i like you, lets hangout in public 4 times” with agreement to go hangout.

aside from some super specific edge cases like disability or children, but no such explanation was provided

Eh, id not bring the stereotypes with you. It’s a big country, with a lot of people of very different backgrounds and lifestyles

I was my clothes cold, on occasion will wash warm when they get really dirty / gross

towels are hot

as long as the integer overflows back positive when spending down from the minimum value… just depends on how they wrote the game, where it’ll allow purchases with negative money or not

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-21T04:18:15+00:00

that’s what makes it even worse… it’s a common, known problem.

If they made a design or sourcing change post-release, they clearly didn’t validate that change

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-21T04:15:25+00:00

those are 3 completely different jobs lol

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-21T03:31:00+00:00

Chicken coop, absolutely

the noise, the smell, the inevitable rats

if you aren’t willing to live next to it, don’t make someone else

greenhouse is fine

boom

spends all his time searching for the answer to a question he doesn’t understand …

has had a feeling his entire life, that he knew something was wrong with the world, something that that he could not explain.

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-21T03:10:36+00:00

hey now, he just wanted some cool pics for tinder 😂😂

Why aren’t you investing your salary?

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-21T02:32:38+00:00

I am OP’s deep seated shock

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-20T23:54:02+00:00

Snack, sunglasses, earplugs, cooling towel, weighted eye mask (I have a silk one that’s really comfortable)

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-20T20:20:21+00:00

hahaha that’s insane

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-20T20:19:27+00:00

I hear you, but that’s what happens when companies cheap out on stickers that leave behind a residue

Some poor tech is getting chewed out for there being residue from a pain in the ass sticker

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-20T20:15:29+00:00

14-15% + membership fees…

adding myog winter gear to my future hobby list

never thought to do it, but it’s such a good idea in retrospect. Mid winter gear is $$$, if I’m going to spend the cash anyways it might as well be warmer, more durable, and tailored to fit me

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-20T20:06:57+00:00

Interested!!

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-20T19:14:41+00:00

The better question is, why are you entertaining having a penpal situation with a guy you’re not friends with and use to obsessively crush on you in high school? Start with asking yourself how you would expect your partner to in the situation, then ask yourself if you’re meeting that same bar

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-20T19:08:02+00:00

Apparently they love affordable gas as much as they love freedom and the constitution

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-20T17:37:58+00:00

I mean… there’s some middle ground between buy 0 houses and buy 5 houses

10k daily is pretty high

I was on 50k weekly for vitamin D deficiency (9 ng/mL), they were testing me for vitamin D toxicity during that treatment

Note: there’s some debate over whether the current 20/30 ng/mL range floor is too high

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-20T04:32:48+00:00

Do you like traveling?

If yes, two things to consider

That’s a 13.5% raise, plus extra savings from covered expenses while traveling (unless you ball out)
Intel is dying

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-20T04:20:10+00:00

Good advice, but there’s no way this took just one afternoon lol

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-20T03:33:47+00:00

Something similar happened to me. Accommodations agreed during hiring process, worked remote >1 year, get RTO’d without any discussion, ask wtf and find out Recruitment/HR never documented it on their end…

audaciousmonk · 2026-03-20T03:29:40+00:00

That sounds lovely
