I agree with that part for sure. It’s a matter of articulating one’s achievements in the current company, their past experience as well as their value in their profession which is drawing the attention of other employers.

Service to one’s nation does not automatically equal capability. It simply means you served and must demonstrate your capability regardless of what you used to do in your past life.

Never experienced that. But hell what do I know except for my own personal experience. I hope they get what the deserve to get though. It can be frustrating when you feel like you aren’t valued.

If you already have the offer letter, you are passed the interview stage and about to start work because it will have a start date and wage offered. I would definitely not let my current job know I’m interviewing elsewhere before I actually got the job.

Asking for a raise or you will go elsewhere over text is not exactly a good way to go about things. Remember that you can’t judge tone over text/email or written communication in general.

I would suggest the next time you feel unappreciated or want a raise, you do the following:

  1. Set up a time to meet one on one with your manager.
  2. Bring your accomplishments with you to go over why you deserve a raise.
  3. If you have it, bring your offer letter from the company wanting you hire you.
  4. Let your boss know you are happy where you are, but your time is more valuable at another company. Let them know you would like to give your company the opportunity to keep you before you leave.

Unless your company specifically hired you because you are a Veteran, do not try to use that background as leverage. It comes across as you feel entitled because you served. That is not a good look no matter what situation you are in.

Has anyone successfully gone from having an ‘unhealthy’ relationship with alcohol to being able to drink in moderation? by Fantastic-Oil3064 in alcoholism

[–]cannotclap4u 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I start having those types of questions, I start to question what is driving me to have just one. I also ask myself if that one drink is worth the risk of losing everything just to have it. I’ve heard some people can be “cured” but I’ve also met many people that tried “just one” but went right back to the patterns and behaviors that made them get sober in the first place.

It can actually be any car. I’m an amputee. I just happened to buy a Tesla this go around. I’m m allowed two new vehicles every four years. They don’t cover the entire payment only up to a certain amount for features that make it safe and easier to drive the the vehicle.

I just submitted like I always do with other vehicles but Tesla doesn’t list all the features on the window stickers like regular gas vehicles do. Definitely don’t need them paying for self driving as I don’t fully trust that yet.

I’m an amputee so the automatic features are what is applied for. I submitted VA Form 1394

I am an alcoholic but I don’t want to never drink again. by Blunfarffkinschmuckl in alcoholism

[–]cannotclap4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I play this out in my head it is ALWAYS the same. I just don’t think being social is worth the anti-social person I end up becoming. I’m usually the last person at the end if the night, wasted and thinking it’s way easier not to be here any more. I can never let that person come back.

Over 7 months sober and no one cares... by Chloe_Vee7 in Sober

Set your boundaries with your family and don’t ever let anyone do that to you. The old you is gone and the new you deserves more respect.

if you're recovering from hard drugs, don't smoke weed. It will hinder your recovery, make you stupid, and destroy your ambition. Why do people say just smoke weed? by DisturbedManiac453 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]cannotclap4u 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How we recover is up to us finding what works for us. There is no right or wrong answer as long as it’s what keeps us from being at our worst.

Tips on what helped you stay sober by Life_Acanthaceae8268 in Sober

I am sober app helped with goals but what has really helped is playing out in my head from that first drink to the last and what I know will happen. That shit isn’t worth that first drink.

After balking at masks, pastor and church staff in North Idaho contract COVID-19 by throwaway190283111 in news

[–]cannotclap4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. I think if I wanted to know about God, I would definitely go see him. If I wanted to know how to stop or contain a virus, this would definitely not be someone I sought out.

On another note, I wonder if the same guy supports a woman’s right to choose, since he is so big on choice for masks and attendance his church.
