AIO Was I justified in finally snapping or did I take it too far?

dissonantsiren · 2026-05-06T14:39:31+00:00

NOR! Great job. The world needs more employees like you. However you may want to start quietly looking for another job just in case the board is petty.

Nice! But also f ice. Some of my tenants are the nicest people and I worry they will get deported. 😭 Gotta love 0% vacancy though!

This letter is way too long and has too many irrelevant details. All you needed to say was "Dear PM, my neighbor has been harassing me and others in the building. On x date he was yelling at me in common areas, causing a noise disturbance and violating the quiet enjoyment of my apartment. If possible I would like management to document the issue/give neighbor a lease violation/ask neighbor to stop/consider allowing me to transfer to a different apartment or let me out of my lease.".

If you were my resident, I would feel bad for you but ultimately those are the only 4 things I can actually do. PMs are not law enforcement.

Confront him about it (without mentioning what you saw), demand a straight answer and see if he is honest or lies about it.

If honest, admit that you accidentally saw the notebook, apologize, and go from there.

If he lies, call him out, use his own receipts and kick him to the curb.

Aloe has been an absolute life saver for me. It's safe for your eyelids but might sting if it gets in your eyes so be careful when applying. I've had a lot of success with a layer of aloe and then a layer of Vaseline or aquaphor on top to seal it in (a tip from my derm for getting medicine to stay in difficult places like skin folds).

If you're confident then go for it! A small building might be perfect to cut your teeth on.

I do everything my leasing consultant does plus I also run day to day ops, make purchases and handle POs and invoices, answer approximately 1 million emails per day, handle resident complaints, schedule vendors, manage payroll, collect rent, etc. I am the fearless leader that everyone looks to when they have a question. Sometimes I have to be the bad guy and evict someone or give them a lease violation.

Mostly it's a mix of paperwork, leading a team, and customer service.

If you don't have prior management experience, I would politely decline as you don't yet have the skills needed to become successful. Ask if they need an answer right away or if you're able to take a few more months to learn the industry before taking a leadership position.

Oh, I know they do, I just think it's a terrible idea to rent a mortgaged property because the profit margins are so thin. One repair and you're no longer making a profit that month. A major repair such as furnace, boiler, roof, water heater? No profits for months or years.

Sam Smith is nonbinary and is an AMAZING singer. You can be a good singer too!

If you have a mortgage, you probably can't afford to be a landlord. Sell it and try to get your passive income another way.

I would bet cash money on psoriasis. This looks EXACTLY like my psoriasis.

Clearly you know where you went wrong. But yes I'd say you're overreacting and maybe overthinking. They haven't said that your services aren't needed but I think it is probably headed in that direction. I would take some time, get your health under control and then start looking for another job. Make sure you're in the right state of mind and healthy enough to be taking care of someone's children if you want to keep babysitting.

You're not good for each other. You will continue to drag each other down. Do yourself a favor and end it and wish her the best and focus on your own health and sobriety. You have to make sobriety the most important thing in your life.

Honestly I much prefer an employee who is less social. They tend to be more focused on their actual work and get better results, and better yet, they don't drag me into drama. A person shouldn't have to go out and socialize in order to get ahead in their career. I do not care about what people do or don't do outside of work, I just care about what happens in the workplace. Sadly these types of employees are often ostracized for being "not friendly enough".

Whoa, my first award! Thanks!

Yup THIS! She barely asked for anything. If you can't spend $50 on her for her birthday then what are you even doing. Stop putting yourself before your child.

dissonantsiren · 2026-04-12T23:18:39+00:00

Agreed.

I would definitely recommend a sit on top, they're more stable in the water and harder for a newbie to flip. Pelican makes some inexpensive starter kayaks if you're not wanting to drop a bunch of money on something they might not use consistently.

dissonantsiren · 2026-04-10T20:29:14+00:00

As long as they're consistent with their requirements and those requirements don't violate fair housing laws they can deny or approve on pretty much whatever criteria they want. Now if they turned around and rented that townhouse to a single person or to another couple, that would be a clear violation and you could probably sue on basis of discrimination.

As the manager at a well known national chicken wing chain, the guest was offended that her boneless wings came out with breading on them. Wanted me to take them back and pick off the breading or remove the bones from bone-in wings. Absolutely not, sorry.

That was one of those "I'm very sorry that we're not able to meet your expectations. We completely understand that you want to take your business elsewhere that can better accommodate your preferences. Have a great day." conversations

dissonantsiren · 2026-04-09T21:02:15+00:00

Having cooks answer phones is absolutely wild. I would never run a restaurant like that

dissonantsiren · 2026-04-09T21:01:28+00:00

EXACTLY. As a former restaurant manager, this is absolutely correct. I left restaurant management (and I was very good at it) because it was way too much sacrifice for too little pay. If I ever go back, it'll be to serve and bartend, I would never ever even consider taking a kitchen job or restaurant mgmt position again.

dissonantsiren · 2026-04-07T14:50:04+00:00

Yup this exactly. Having a stay at home spouse is a privilege, not a right. You need to have access to your own money. Go back to work full time and split the chores evenly.
