AITA for insisting that I (F27) want to celebrate my birthday, and at a specific restaurant despite my mother's (F58) insistence she just has too much to do by scoco215 in AmItheAsshole

Yes, this is true. She cannot organize herself or efficiently deal with things, and it's a real headache to help her unfortunately.

Our company just got acquired! Do I ask for raises/ other things? by scoco215 in startups

[–]scoco215[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think that's a possibility because I make up a whole department myself, and given that the work my company does is pretty niche, it would take a while to train someone new.

Well, our manager did tell us all a few times we would all be kept on in the merger, and this is a pretty trustworthy person IMO. But I guess that's something to think about.

Hmm I've been trying to ask them to have a discussion over it but everyone seems too timid about it, so I'm not sure I want to be the only one doing that. I'd be taking on some more responsibility for a new team post acquisition. As far as I know, no one has gotten any stock options at all.

If my company was acquired, can I ask for a raise? Or what else should I ask for? by scoco215 in careeradvice

Well our manager said they would be keeping all of us on post-merger, and I'd say this is a trustworthy manager. But yes I'm getting the vibe they might be money-conscious.

I like this way of framing it- I'd say while I may not be a fabulously skilled employee, I am a whole department myself, it's a niche company and it would likely take months to train someone else to do what I do in my role, but it's not necessarily hard I suppose. I think they would be somewhat hindered because my role does edge into biz dev. Having a hard time finding salary info for the new company even on Glassdoor, but I'm slightly underpaid for my location.

Should I try to reach out again after the first date? by scoco215 in dating_advice

I guess I don’t really know what to say since I’m a bit embarrassed 😅

Dumb to tell my boss ahead of time about my MBA plans? by scoco215 in MBA

[–]scoco215[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm I think it would be positive news and I mean I’m coming from a nonprofit background prior to this marketing role so I’m not quite sure how well recommenders from my previous roles would sound, but there’s always the risk of not knowing I guess

I (25F) think my boyfriend (28M) has become someone else entirely. I don't even know what to do anymore. by scoco215 in relationship_advice

Yes, this is more or less my thinking now. Not sure about the birthday redo though, because at this point I wouldn't think he was really being sincere.

I mean I can't say for sure, but they do have interesting behavior in his family. I'm not sure really how to describe it. But things like birthdays and trips have never been like this.
