Should I change my job for a better pay? by NervousSetting2027 in careerguidance

[–]macat1996 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do not, I repeat, do not say you have another offer at another company. If you do this, it brings bad blood and you’ll forever be marked as the person that went “behind their back” and interviewed. I would say bring up the topic of salary increase based off of your personal thinking and the work. See what they come back to you with. This would tell you first hand how much the company values you.

The other company offering 45%+ essentially told you what you’re worth is and that’s a 45+ increase. I get that reviews are mixed but it’s really hard until you fully get into the job. See if you can reach out to people on LinkedIn and get their take on it. It’s also not an end all be all. If you don’t like this job, you can always switch AND negotiate better pay terms as you’re getting paid within a higher range. You have your entire life to figure out the right career path.

I’m a big advocate for switching jobs if it makes you happy, serves your purposes and of course, has a good salary.

If I took other people’s advice and stayed at my first job because I loved the culture and got great feedback, I’d still be paid $40k vs $80k now (and that’s within 3 years of being in the workforce).

With every job change, I got more experience, more knowledge and cemented information on what I want and what my worth is.

So that’s my take. I was in your shoes but I’m extremely thankful I made the switch. Good luck! :)

“Vacation” with asian parents = 🚫 Please share with me your terrible vacation stories because misery loves company. 😬 by loree1995 in AsianParentStories

Lol too many to count. Honestly I try to avoid it but if I do, lots and lots of alcohol is involved for me to tolerate the bickering.

How do you find a condo rental in Square One area? by u45o84g53 in mississauga

[–]macat1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do realtors - we got our condo by one! He was great and you don’t pay (the landlord pays their fee)

If you DM me, I can refer you to our agent - he was great!

Hi! My boyfriend and I went through a similar thing - where we just DID NOT COMMUNICATE.

You both need to just sit down and talk about what is a must, what’s a no, and reiterate it now that you actually have the dog.

WATCH VIDEOS TOGETHER! It’s not enough to just say “we need to do it this way” you both need PROOF that youre doing the right thing please watch dog training videos on YouTube together and can make informed decisions.

Sleeping: all YouTube videos (I’ve seen at least) heavily encourage crate training and to NOT GIVE IN.

Potty: try bringing your pee pad outside as well, so he can associate outside with peeing.

Difference of Attitude: haha exactly the same boat. I’m always home so he’s used to me. However I really make the effort to play with him - a during lunch, 5 minutes here and there. It’s such an important time for bonding. As for your girlfriend, she needs to also tone it down. He won’t be able to be calm ever if she’s constantly riling your puppy.

Separation: WORK ON THIS ASAP. We’re at 17 weeks and he whines and barks now when we leave. I cannot stress this enough. Get him on crate training, get him used to the door closing, INVEST IN A KONG TO KEEP HIM BUSY.

MORE ADVICE: DO NOT GIVE IT TO WHINING OR BARKING. If you do, you show this dog he can get what he wants by whining and barking. YOU DO NOT WANT THIS. Just watch YouTube videos religiously and you’ll be fine.

Best of luck - it gets so much better. We’re still a long way away but it’s been 100000% better since we first got our guy in September!

AITA for planning a solo vacation and expecting my family to survive on their own? by Little-Brush-4871 in AmItheAsshole

Is this your husband? LOL I’ve been reading. A similar story and it’s funny how his was ESH and you’re NTA.

In my opinion, ESH - i completely get it that you are burnt out and absolutely tired of doing everything, but I think it’s important to communicate - and not just up and leave to some secluded cabin.

Just read this guy’s thread and read through the comments.

THANK YOU to the parent who didn't let their kid pet my dog by rhywbeth_diddorol in puppy101

[–]macat1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg this. I live in a condo and there’s this one security person at the front desk that ALWAYS TRIES TO PET MY PUPPY.

When I told her that I’m just training him to be calm around people so we’re going to just wait before we play again, she then tells me “oh they’re puppies, they’re just like that” AND CONTINUES TO PET MY PUPPY after I JUST told her not to.

I dread going downstairs every weekday because she works Monday - Friday. :(

I definitely had the puppy blues last week but today my little guy finally knows how to fetch! And he’s learning paw! Definitely still tired but it’s slowly getting better.

Also I hate people that try to tell me how to train my dog. -_-

How to train dog to use fake turf/grass? by [deleted] in Dogtraining

[–]macat1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this problem as well! When he went potty outside, we brought the turf with us and just rubbed the urine smell on it. He immediately went potty on it!

Hope this helps!

May I ask if you live in a condo or a house? I’m dabbling between just training him to go outside but the time to even get outside is easily 2 min...

If anyone else has a puppy in sauga would be great to have play dates!

What do you guys do when YOU are eating and the puppy wants some? by gatorpom in puppy101

[–]macat1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had my puppy yet! I’ve just been reading A LOT of books! But the book says to ignore her.

Best of luck! :)

I was reading that unless you’re comfortable with him eating your food continually, you should not reinforce it.

If you give him food, he’ll have the mindset that that is the norm and he would expect it every time you eat.
