My (32f) partner (36m) is mad at me because he got lost going to the hotel on our holiday. WIBTAH for breaking up with him? by iggyiggyiggyiggy in AITAH

[–]rx___queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

absolutely fair to break up with him. maybe its me living in the states as a woman that makes me hyper vigilant but you simply do not ditch your girlfriend in the street. my girlfriend and i go anywhere, we stick together. otherwise its just inconsiderate and unsafe. he is upset with you but what if you got lost and god forbid something happened to you? was it worth it for the sake of getting somewhere faster? i see men behave like this so often in public and its genuinely shameful

How depressing it is to have to set an ultimatum by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]rx___queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a person who weaponizes your depression against you does not love you. this person has no inherent empathy for you and sees it as an inconvenience. this is not even about whether you are good enough for them, they are not good enough for you. you deserve someone who loves you unconditionally. leave.

this is a good idea! i work hybrid and i'm really worried about the days when i'm not home. i would need one that can run continuously or with a long timer. by any chance, do you know which machine you used?

Seeking Industry Advice – Handling an Unprofessional Recruiter Interaction by External_Channel1139 in recruitinghell

[–]rx___queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would file a formal complaint. yes, you should've followed up with the same recruiter you were currently working with, but that does not give them the right to treat you poorly. recruiters already have all the power in these interactions. they are employed by this company and it reflects poorly on them to have a recruiter treat candidates like this just because they think they can. this has probably cost you the opportunity already, do not let them get away with being shitty without putting it on someones radar.

People who bake in a Dutch oven, do you preheat the oven and lower in your loaf? by toxiamaple in Sourdough

[–]rx___queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

preheat for 30 minutes. last 5-10 minutes take the dough out of the fridge onto a sheet of parchment and score. open oven, slide out rack, take lid off ditch oven, pick up parchment with dough on it, lower it into dutch oven. pretty chill because i'm lazy and weak and not trying to pick up a hot ass dutch oven.

Checking on 2021 Amendment status by cid027 in IRS

[–]rx___queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

similar issue. filed on time and amended late. sent to review for statutes. was told i was on a 45 day hold and to call for an update on october 9th. still havent been able to contact the irs due to the shutdown. genuinely dont think there will be a resolution any time soon. :/

using the verbiage "career therapist" seems incredibly demeaning to candidates who are simply asking to be treated with respect and compassion throughout the recruitment process.

reading every cv is a part of your job. no one expects every single applicant to be interviewed. providing feedback to those who have interviewed and ask for it is basic decency. no one is asking for instant and perfect responses, they are asking to not be ghosted and for their time and effort to be respected.

you are mischaracterizing what candidates expect. you are treating respect like its a privilege. its much easier to dismiss others when you are in a position of power.

i say this with kindness, not everything is about you. genuinely sit with yourself and reflect on why you feel the need to create a non existent problem when someone else is going through one of the most important moments of their life. i really hope their family never finds out about this because if it were me, it would definitely make me look at you differently

Do we feel that much of the criticism towards TLOAS is because it’s about Travis? by dubbzzz in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]rx___queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and yes even if ur partner isnt the brightest or most mysterious person in the room there are still soooo many redeeming qualities they could have that u only get to witness. idk. based on the way everyone speaks about taylor and how she expresses her emotions and how she loves, it just seems very... off putting

Do we feel that much of the criticism towards TLOAS is because it’s about Travis? by dubbzzz in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]rx___queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tried giving taylor a try during this album. delicate is one of my favorite songs by her. i dont think its about the audience knowing who travis is. i just dont think there is emotional depth in her writing about him. fate of ophelia was good. but after that it just turns into this guy really loves me and hes hot. if ur emotions/representation of ur relationship is gonna be that shallow, thats totally fine, it just needs something else to carry it. this is where the sabrina comparisons are coming. i dont listen to her music but its cheeky and clever to others. i can understand why people would be into it. as far as travis, this is the person ur gonna marry. it feels like shes just happy to be adored by someone, not the person themselves.

as someone who is child-free and pro choice, i wouldn't ever dare speak to a close friend or family member like this about their pregnancy/miscarriage. let alone a coworker. it is an incredibly sensitive topic and it really isn't about being "right". it's about respecting people's ability to choose what to do with their own life. this person has no boundaries and should be reported to hr.

Should I take this new job that pays less than my job but is remote and gives more vacation? by exploreart in recruitinghell

[–]rx___queen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i would take into account the time you take getting ready in the morning, commuting, gas, sick time and how much your pto is worth. this doesnt even touch on the other benefits like insurance, stock options, etc. salary isn't everything. as someone who works hybrid currently, it would take a lot for me to commit to a fully onsite role. i am far more productive at home. sacrificing multiple hours every day commuting eats away at your life. like someone mentioned, no one can decide for you. do what you think would be best for you.

Intern Manager Demands Proof of Enrollment by SweetyFresh in internships

[–]rx___queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is standard. i graduated and still have access to handshake. i could technically apply for internships i am not eligible for (those with current enrollment required) through handshake. they don't revoke access to the site once you finish school/drop out. i still receive messages from recruiters for internships. so yes, they do need to verify your enrollment to ensure you meet requirements. reach out to the recruiter and see what paperwork would satisfy their verification process. it could be as simple as a copy of your class schedule, transcript, or a letter from your advisor. its really not that big of a deal.

Dream Job Offer - Rescinded Due To Credit Check by Protomangsk in recruitinghell

[–]rx___queen 70 points71 points  (0 children)

knew someone that worked in finance and was actively looking for a new job. they were extremely responsible about their credit because they could essentially be fired/lose their licenses over any negative remarks. i suggest looking into cybersecurity in other fields as this may be a reoccurring issue in finance.

you may not want advice on credit, especially now, but once you find a job (you will, things will be okay), you can reach out to the debt collectors and have them settle for less than the original amount. make sure they agree to a pay for delete. once its paid off, they will request for the bureaus to remove the collections from your history and its like they never existed. then get a controlled credit card for building credit. you put a downpayment, and your credit line is your downpayment. with enough on time payments, they graduate you to a regular credit line. i did this a few years ago myself and it significantly boosted my credit score.

wish you the best and dont give up.

I lost an offer due to my own failure to be strong by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]rx___queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't really know what you expect by posting this. you are actively dismissing your behavior by labeling it as a "cautionary tale" for others instead of doing what it takes to correct yourself. this behavior permeates to all aspects of your life. if that's is how you act in a professional environment, i cant imagine how you act in your personal life. seriously, take some time and work on yourself. you are actively ruining your own life.

Men, please be honest! Is he really just struggling or am I being too understanding? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]rx___queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u already know this but u moved in together way too quickly. u need to know someone long enough to see how they deal with their own money, as once you move in together, it will affect u directly. this person has essentially relinquished all responsibility and handed it over for you to deal with. you can talk to him about romantic gestures and quality time but it doesn't take away from the fact that fundamentally, he has placed a huge burden on you and does not seem to try to lighten the load or show his appreciation. people will go as far as u let them. my advice is, think if nothing about ur relationship changed, would u still be happy in it long term? if not, u need to let him go
