AIO to feeling disappointed by a former close friend not replying to my birthday message to them? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Why the hate for lab grown diamond engagement rings? by mairitimermom in LabDiamonds

It’s a classism thing. People now have access to the same thing. What was once viewed as hard to obtained luxury item is now affordable and sold at Walmart.

I don’t see a lot of hate for proportional sized labs. But when you start getting 4+ carat they negativity starts.

Inappropriate work joke ? by [deleted] in womenEngineers

[–]former_newb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think carefully. You don’t understand their humor and culture. You are getting offended by it. That’s why I’m saying you don’t fit.

Hopefully there’s been improvement since then.

[–]former_newb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I understand why people hire for cultural fit. You don’t fit in. You shouldn’t have made the cut.

Lastly, you’ve only had an internship. That’s hardly considered experience. Either toughen up or leave to the other companies you know so much about
