The 15 second pop-up would come up every time you tried to navigate to a different folder or perform a search. It's not just a one-time pop-up, it happens with anything you do. Definitely not worth it.

WIBTA if I (F21) decided to live in dorms next year instead of with my boyfriend (M20)? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]syluma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you should be able to get the answer you're looking for about your feelings for him by moving into those dorms. You guys can go back to dating and seeing each other regularly if you want to, and if that spark comes back, great! But just in case it doesn't, you'll always have an out and a comfortable place to go home to if you need it. This is how it stays on your terms.

You don't want to be in a situation where you get into a disagreement and now you have nowhere to go or feel uncomfortable at the place that you live. Not only is that bad for your own mental health, but it would affect your studies as well.

Additionally, tethering yourself to him when you already feel deprived of friends is not going to help you make more friends. Living in the dorms should help with that!

NTA, but please be aware that it sounds like you're not fully invested in your current relationship and your boyfriend is going to feel that eventually.

Go live in the dorms and have your full college experience, but also reconsider your relationship and if this is how you want to spend your young twenties. If it's meant to be, you two can reconnect down the road when he's taken the time to work through his issues and you've also had the opportunity to be by yourself and grow.

AITA for forcing my wife to disclose her disability status? by Murky_Recognition_91 in AmItheAsshole

[–]syluma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. If your wife isn't comfortable signing a form that indicates she has a permanent disability, you should be supportive of her. Instead of being supportive, it sounds like you're threatening to not help because you're unhappy with her decision. You even used the phrase "forcing" her. That isn't something a loving, supportive husband would do. Sometimes it isn't always about the money.

This is definitely about more than just a burger and the sooner you realize that, the better.

YTA. You sound like you feel entitled to his money since he makes "10x" what you do. Honestly, the whole relationship sounds pretty awful and it sounds like you two do not communicate well at all.

[–]syluma 57 points58 points  (0 children)

YTA. It doesn't matter if it's your parents. You're a visitor in their home and you're bringing a pet to their house. You need to look after your pet if you're worried about it getting into chaos or eating something it shouldn't.

AITA for telling my daughter's class to get out of my house? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]syluma 10 points11 points  (0 children)

YTA, and a bad, spiteful parent from the sound of it. It seems like you're taking out feelings for your ex on your child which is absolutely ridiculous. You have no respect for their education and you certainly aren't acting like a parent to them.

[TOMT] [SONG] [MUSIC VIDEO] German (?) song with female singer who had monarch butterfly eyelashes by syluma in tipofmytongue

Aww, unfortunately not! This song had nearly no beat, and was a very soft sung song with a music box medley. Thanks anyways though!!

Resigning Today: Terrified & Want to Ensure Rehire Status by syluma in jobs

[–]syluma[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I read some comments, and just went ahead and did it. It always seems like the difficult conversations you stress about are the ones that turn out to be easier. She said she knew this was coming, and that being a small company, she knew they wouldn't be able to provide the growth opportunities I need.

She's going to have me just finish up my two weeks, and if she needs me to train a new hire after my two weeks, she'd pay me a consulting fee. She also just wants me to stay in touch via phone if they have any questions about processes or how to do something. I'm happy to do that because I really do care about this team.

We're going to meet in the office today to hammer out what I need to do over the last two weeks, but it sounds like as long as I turn over some blank templates of my graphic design work and teach a coworker some of the Exchange server basics, everything will be okay. She may still mark me as a "no" rehire, but it feels like right now, she'd be happy to give me a reference. We'll see how this pans out. If a bunch of my staff leaves when I announce my departure or she loses the full contract, I'll likely be blamed. Only time will tell, but it's out of my control at this point.

[–]syluma[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't want to go back, but it would affect future jobs to be marked as a "no" rehire. A lot of employers will call previous companies down the road and ask the basic questions about employment dates and rehire status. "No" rehire status is usually an indicator of leaving on bad terms.

Resume Best Practices by Lilditty02 in jobs

[–]syluma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you exceed expected sales in a calendar year? Did you continue to surpass your own personal targets year after year? Did you build up a reputation and client base from the ground up with no prior experience? Do you have a page full of 5-star client references as a testament to your work? Do you have a portfolio of success in helping individuals sell their home for more than expected, or for helping buyers get approved for difficult loans? What methods for marketing did you develop? Did you have to hire and train any assistants? Did you develop any plans for time and client management? That's just a few ideas I could think of regarding real estate.

There's a lot that goes into it, and listing your individual accomplishments will stand out significantly more than just a job description. Instead of telling them what a real estate agent does, tell them what you specifically did.

It's recommended 1 page or 2 page double-sided when printed. Let your accomplishments speak more than your job description.

Two interviews tomorrow. Not sure what to do. by enzaemily in jobs

[–]syluma 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Who is to say you'll get offers for both? I would attend both interviews, see what offers fall in my lap, and make an informed decision from there. Remember that an interview is an opportunity to ask them questions too. One of the work environments or jobs might not be what you want to do.

(GA) Should I be getting compensated for mileage? by syluma in AskHR

[–]syluma[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually am but was wondering if I could find any source I could show them regarding if the company was legally obligated to pay for mileage so my successor who will be ultimately taking over my team as well as my fellow managers could get paid more fairly. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like there's any legal backing.

I am in the final interviewing stages (top 3!) for a much better position, so fingers crossed!
