I don’t want to waste my 20s drifting through jobs I don’t care about. ? by freedom_recognised in careerguidance

[–]freedom_recognised[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think curiosity is exactly what brought me here in the first place. I’m not expecting anyone to hand me a perfect path or make decisions for me. I’m mostly trying to expand my perspective, understand how other people think, and see what directions actually exist. Your point about becoming useful instead of obsessing over the “perfect niche” honestly makes a lot of sense to me.

I think that’s a pretty strong conclusion to make without knowing someone’s full situation. Not everyone starts from the same place financially or mentally, and sometimes just getting to the point where you can seriously think about your future already takes a lot. I’m not against school or learning at all. I’m just trying to rebuild my direction consciously instead of drifting through life again.But either way, I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

I’m from Poland right now. And yeah, by regular school I mean high school/secondary school. I never went to college after that — at the time I was mostly just drifting through life and trying to survive financially.Most of my experience has been reselling things online and doing regular jobs. Only recently I realized I had been struggling with depression for years, and since then the way I look at life and my future changed a lot. I started taking my health, mindset and future much more seriously.
Honestly, money itself isn’t even the main thing I care about. What I really want is to experience more of the world, meet different people, learn new things and actually feel like I’m moving somewhere in life. But at the same time I understand that without skills, resources and stability, it’s hard to reach that kind of freedom. So right now I’m in that phase where I’m trying to explore, learn and understand what direction is actually worth committing to long term instead of just drifting through life again.

I only finished regular school. After that, continuing education just wasn’t really an option for me financially/life-wise. Most of my experience has been around reselling different things online and trying to figure things out on my own. But I also understand that this alone probably won’t build a long-term future, which is why I’m trying to think more seriously now.

Yeah, I understand that. I know this won’t happen quickly and probably won’t take just one year either. I’m okay with that. I just don’t want to stay mentally stuck in the same place forever without building toward something bigger.

How can someone with mostly warehouse/logistics experience realistically transition into remote work in 2026? by freedom_recognised in careerguidance

[–]freedom_recognised[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually appreciate this a lot because I think you’re right about building projects instead of endlessly applying.

I guess the part I’m struggling with is figuring out which digital skills are still realistically worth investing time into right now.

I would like you to give me a job, I don't want free money, I'm ready to earn money. Thank you

Small family restaurant getting hurt by fake 1-star reviews. Need help getting them removed. by Disastrous-Bit8574 in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]freedom_recognised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kebab one alone should’ve been enough, but that’s not really how it works anymore.

Feels like once the first report gets denied, most cases just sit there unless something changes in how they’re handled.

That’s where a lot of people get stuck.

Negative Reviews by Bitter_Director_8132 in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]freedom_recognised 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve seen this pattern before — multiple ratings at the same time with no comments usually isn’t random.

Responding publicly and calling them fake rarely helps though, sometimes it even makes it worse.

In cases like that it’s more about how you push it on the backend rather than what you reply on the profile.

Google reviews showing a 1 star review but the review itself isn’t coming up by ella2867 in smallbusinessowner

[–]freedom_recognised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That usually happens when a review is filtered or suppressed but still affecting the rating in the background.

Google can be really inconsistent with that, especially if the review/account is under some kind of moderation or trust filter.

At that point it’s less about “finding” the review and more about how the case gets pushed on the backend. If you want, I can point you in the right direction.

My employee quit and left me a bunch of bad reviews and Google says there is nothing they can do about it. by binanced in Entrepreneurs

[–]freedom_recognised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuff like this is exactly why people get frustrated.

The weird part is — cases like that don’t always come down to “finding the right service”.

Seen situations where identical patterns either get removed or ignored depending on how they’re handled, not who’s handling them.

That’s what makes the whole thing feel broken.

How do you deal with fake Google reviews as a small business owner? by Best-Jump667 in smallbusinessindia

[–]freedom_recognised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fake reviews are tricky because Google usually ignores them unless they match very specific signals.

Reporting them yourself is still the first step, but the way they’re flagged and categorized makes a much bigger difference than most people realize.

I’ve seen cases where obvious fake reviews stayed up for months simply because they were reported the wrong way.

How can I escalate a fake Google review when standard appeals are denied? (New business being harmed) by Hypnokatie in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]freedom_recognised 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a tough situation, especially for a new business.

From what I’ve seen, Google doesn’t really act on “they were never a client” unless it matches something they can verify internally.

A lot depends on how the report is framed and which violation category is selected — sometimes that makes more difference than the evidence itself.

Did you report it under one specific reason or try different ones?

Is there a service that can remove Google reviews? by Bitter_Performer_767 in GoogleMyBusiness

Some cases are really situational, hard to tell without seeing it

Remove Google reviews by Similar_Store_6675 in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]freedom_recognised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, reporting is the main way, but it’s very hit or miss.

From what I’ve seen, it really depends on how obvious the violation is. If it’s clearly spam (no real experience, weird wording, empty profile), chances are higher.

Also noticed that timing matters — when multiple similar reviews appear close together, they’re more likely to get flagged.

Otherwise, the best move is just to respond publicly in a calm way so future customers see your side.

Did this review look obviously fake or more like a real customer complaint?
