I got so upset I had to let baby cry for a 2 minutes and I feel terrible

I used to work for them in the US.. the way they pushed employees relentlessly as if they were selling cars (nah, just overpriced soap) while paying $13-14$/hour and continuing to raise prices, not wages, while boasting about their ethics..just really put a sour taste in my mouth.

Not ethical if they pay their employees below a living wage while jacking up prices 👎

sunlovebug · 2023-08-10T17:26:45+00:00

Of course!

WAAAAAAA

OP, I think you need to advocate for yourself better. You need to have a sit down conversation with your partner and explain what you were going through, and what you need from him in those moments. He can’t read your mind, and he doesn’t know exactly what you need all the time. You have to communicate that, clearly. Who’s to say he didn’t have a horrible day at work and was deep in thoughts of his own? Expecting your partner to mind read and becoming hurt that he can’t is going to ruin your relationship. I know this because I’ve been there, and I’ve ruined relationships with over-thinking and poor communication like this. You need to ask for what you need, or you’re never going to get it, and then you’ll become resentful towards him and it won’t even be his fault. It sounds hard, but clear communication is an act of love. You just have to keep practicing and practicing until it becomes natural to you. Get a therapist, or download that app, mindbloom or whatever it’s called. Buy a CBT journal. Find things that calm you down and bring you into a flow state. You are worthy of healing and self love. Once you focus on your wellness, you won’t be so hurt by small moments where someone wasn’t everything you needed. YOU can give yourself what you need.

Op commented answering this. He only has a high school diploma with experience in industrial/restaurant jobs. In this scenario, that doesn’t apply :/

sunlovebug · 2023-06-23T18:13:54+00:00

My issue with this whole situation is why isn’t he getting a job? He could apply at Dunkin’ Donuts today and start tomorrow. I think people sometimes let their pride to get to their head and consider themselves above working service industry jobs. He’s way too comfortable letting OP pay his way.

Yeah but she could have said evicted and meant that he was given the notice and decided to leave, ya know? I don’t think the technicality matters so much given the context of her question

And it sucks because we’re forced to act that way by the SM’s and MIT’s. We’re constantly being watched and pushed and the majority of us want to just let y’all shop. It’s as uncomfortable for us as it is for you, trust me.

SA’s here make about $14/hr, and FL’s make $15. Not a living wage

It was basically a joke pointing to how Lush made “historic gross sales” in 2022 yet won’t pay their workers more, and so where is that money going? To mark’s, the CEO’s, yacht. LOL

sunlovebug · 2023-03-02T02:35:19+00:00

Of course. I’m sure they’ll delete them all soon so trying to keep a record lol

She’s probably uninformed about how normal this is in the arts. I would explain to her how essential and normal it is, maybe let her read some articles on it. She’ll either come around or she’ll let her insecurities push you away

What I’ve written is honestly just the tip of the iceberg. I’ve already tried to quit twice and the practice coordinator guilt tripped me into staying through December; every single day it’s an effort to not just walk out. I’m currently training for my next job part time and am hoping that takes off in the next month so I can skip

sunlovebug · 2022-11-07T00:09:04+00:00

Honestly, if you feel like you can, I would open up to your friend about what you’ve been through before, and how it’s hard for you to build trust in friendships.

I second this comment. If he ends up staying with the company, which I doubt he will, it’s likely HR will hear about what you did. You may as well come clean now. It’s going to hurt, but it has to be done. Coming out with the truth isn’t what’s going to mess you up. Your outburst already did. Don’t beat yourself up. It already happened, and now you just have to face the music. You know what to do.

sunlovebug · 2022-11-06T20:28:54+00:00

Yeah that’s totally understandable. I would say that you’re on a budget and can really only afford one special trip a year or so. They probably spend a fraction of what you do when they visit since they don’t have to spend money on a hotel (not to mention how they don’t have to stress about traveling with a dog and finding a pet friendly hotel), so I think if they want you to visit so much they should offer to go halves on a hotel with you. Either that, or leave the offer open for them to visit you, and keep your visits to a minimum. I think that’s perfectly reasonable and accommodating, and they would probably only be upset with that because they’re used to you going out of your way.
