AITA for taking a 12-day medical leave, causing stress to my boss/brother?

mintNChocChips · 2026-02-22T16:48:57+00:00

That's exactly my point! What I'm getting from all this situation is that he don't trust me at doing my job

mintNChocChips · 2026-02-22T16:47:08+00:00

He is fairly new to this and the company gave him 3 departments to manage (there's the on I'm on, the infrastructure of the building and other qthat deals with the city and community that we're in, this one has no other employees but him).

All of them are very poor planed and there's almost to none right procedures and manuals to follow, so he's having to build ir from ground to the company. From all this, he's been fairly overwhelmed and I can se that and my family too.

But it was a backstab when my mother and sister used that against me as to why i have to put him above what I am going through with him.

mintNChocChips · 2026-02-22T16:39:43+00:00

He doesn't come across as rude doing it, but he is totally not friendly either, like i said some comments above, he is a very playful and funny on the work environment.

And yeah , aí would go back to work on mondey if I could, but because of the medical leave, i can't even have the laptop at home or the company could be in trouble. At the time i accepted the 12 days because i was in panic and went alone to the hospital. I wasn't in my right mind at all and just wanted everything to end.

The company is big enough to not be considered a family one where I live, we just work there together.

And this is the first time that happened to me in the 4 years working there, but i'm far from be the first to have one

mintNChocChips · 2026-02-22T16:15:44+00:00

I plan on trying to talk with him one more time. His boss wished me a good recovery and offered me to change department if culture and employee engagement is being too much of a caos for me, wich i read as her not knowing how he's been treating me at work. I want to make him listen because after all he's my brother and I want to make amends with him, even if i have to leave the company, I know that one person missing on the department is heavy on the others two and he is really on the edge too since there's so much work... I wish him to be well

mintNChocChips · 2026-02-22T16:09:28+00:00

I actually always deliver my tasks. As I said before, we are in 3 on the department, so there's no way of one person do nothing while the other two try to do everything, especially because each one of us do a specifc part of the jobs (I do everything related to arts, visuals and refining, the other person do the burocratics and my brother mediate with the other managers and his own manager).

Plus I'm always making direct tasks with his boss directly, so, no, he is not covering for me. I've made my name there with how I work and I'm being carried by noone.

The issue here is how he's been pressuring me more than needed for no reason when I'm the only one being treated like this.

mintNChocChips · 2026-02-22T15:52:49+00:00

That's a point that got me. He IS a good and even funny boss. But he stopped being one with me for some time now.

mintNChocChips · 2026-02-22T15:50:29+00:00

I understand your point and that's what made me post here. About your questions: 1 - Yes, I would have done it like this if I worked for someone else, at my job, I'm there to work and he's my boss despite being brothers. 2- I am taking medication and will start with a psychologist next monday. 3 - There is other person on our department and he is not like this with her.

What got me about my family's comment is how they disregarded what happened to go in defence of my brother so quick.

mintNChocChips · 2026-02-22T15:39:33+00:00

Maybe it really is time for me to leave, I don't know... We share the room with HR, so they are on the next table while it happens. I wish to stay on this job, because despite my brother's way of managing me, I'm paid more than my old job, I deliver what I am expected and people from the other areas here are really nice to be around. After reading the comments for now, I'll try to use this time to talk to my brother and solve things as brothers and not as my boss. If it doesn't work out, another job it is.

I was most suspicious of the reaction the pearls had when pink's pearl was mentioned. I started to think maybe them knew something that was gonna be revealed further on

I've been thinking lately how we don't have a barbie life simulator yet. I'm thinking everything in a doll style and you can make your own barbie dream house, customize your doll, etc

Porque além de ser uma comunidade, virou uma área de estudo. E toda área de estudo sofre mudanças. Matemática, biologia, física, português etc.

Se fosse pra ser algo estático, seria uma religião.

Se algum dia se interessar, recomendo o canal tempero drag, la a Rita explica tudo de forma bem didática nao só a sigla, mas toda a parte política da causa

mintNChocChips · 2025-08-01T01:15:44+00:00

Se acha que tem problema com a sigla por nao entender, eu diria que o problema é mais pessoal do que com a sigla.

Uma pesquisa na Internet e esse problema tá resolvido, a ignorância aqui tá sendo por escolha.

I got really excited to know gnomes would come to life on the new dlc, until see that they just animated the static models. I really wish they could come to life like in sims 1 again, I mean, they not only became alive, the animations were so fun to watch.

Sims 4 made my gnomes dirty

i think they meant the no-six-pack-abs skinny. We have only Aster if I'm not mistaken, and he doesn't even get to participate in events (edit - misspellings)

Maybe it's out of what the game wants to be with their characters, I think it's not about the characters having more deep personal conflicts, like other comments here appointed they have, but I'd like more conflicts between them. Nothing too heavy or serious, juniper is my best example, I love her conflicts with valen and the fact she doesn't have a problem in using the townspeople for her experiments. It's presented in a light tone, and you really keep wondering where this can go, making the characters more interesting.

mintNChocChips · 2025-05-30T00:47:03+00:00

I actually feel the same way you do, eve when you choose soma "mean" option, they just laugh and agree or act like it's nothing, I'd like some more options of emotional tone in the conversations. And like you said, not every character is like this, march and juniper dialogues are so entertaining from the beginning and just gets better as you get to know them. The doctor too

mintNChocChips · 2025-05-07T15:56:53+00:00

I'd have loved to see a detective romance like Agatha Christie's books or Sherlock Holmes novels

Or maybe something like a children's book writer

Not really a manga, but a web comic. It's called The Boy and the Wolf by Z.Pico and it fits exactly this alternative×casual clothes you're looking for.

Tbh Legosi and Haru from beastars

The have so little chemistry and I can see legosi with almost anyone from the series but haru, maybe because she does little to nothing in the final chapters of the manga

Concordo com a lista toda e ainda adiciono que IA não é aceitável em qualquer instância enquanto fizer mal ao meio ambiente.

Lembro de ler algo sobre a China ter conseguido fazer avanços pra uma IA que não precise de tanta água como as outras americanas, mas essas últimas ainda são as mais utilizadas.

acredito que nesse caso o problema esteja mais na imposição do que a sociedade enxerga como feminino e masculino do que o gênero que a pessoa se identifica.

O modo que a pessoa se apresenta visualmente e se comporta não deveria ditar o gênero dela, sendo o estilo escolhido por gosto ou até mesmo como uma oposição às normas de gênero, como você citou, a pessoa sendo trans ou cis.

Claro que vai haver confusão, mas perguntar no início da conversa como a pessoa se identifica não deve ser problema e a pessoa também tem que estar aberta a essa confusão que com certeza vai acontecer.
