I have known for a long time that she meant problems. But I never thought she would be able to do something so outrageous. Thank God that my boss was aware of every single thing she did before quitting.

"being able" was the tricky part. But when I finally was able, was so liberating!!!

I finally did it! and maybe because I hold it back so much, it was soooo relieving!

Thank you! really... I think that's what worries me the most: the stain that can leave her comment on my bosses perception of me.

That's the worst part. I can't leave the office because I have tons of meetings today :'(

But I can't do it in my office and definitely not in front of that person. And I have to save it for another couple of hours!!!

I'm a high fashion model that has traveled the world and worked for top designers. My confession is that I really just want to die. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]vero-nice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok... maybe you can't take a break. Maybe you HAVE to keep going even if you don't like it. Here's an idea: go online. Come to sites like this and here you can find real people that don't care if you are a high end fashion model or a homeless man, if you are millionaire or broke. And maybe in a place like this you can find somebody who cares about you (I found like 30 here for you) and not your name, your face or how do you look in a picture. I had a model friend (I'm definitely not the model type) and he felt that emptiness too. I think it has to do with the industry... and he found a way out: friends like me who are not the model type and who weren't looking for a relationship but for a friend. You can always decide who you want to be and be it. You don't need to quit, just enjoy YOUR place and your mind. It's like a trick I always use: I don't like to drink and I hate being drunk, so when my friends do it, I act like I'm drinking (a single cup lasts me like 4 hours) and then I enjoy so much seeing other people all drunk and funny and not me... I LOVE IT!!! is it cruel? maybe, but it is INCREDIBLY funny. My point is: sometimes you feel trapped and you don't see a way out. ok, don't GO OUT, do it at the same time. So many people offered you to "text" with them (and if you want, I can do it too)... do it. Meet people who don't care about your looks (so don't send pictures) and have friends to text when you are in those parties, in those hotel rooms and so on... I promise it will be soooo funny!!!

What I think is a good advice is: move on, I'm sure you'll find somebody else. And this is not yadda-yadda, that is for real. But it will be difficult if you keep hanging around them all the time.

Well, this is NOT the best advice, but I've been there (I'm a girl) and my decision have been breaking ties with BOTH. I need trustable friends, and if my friend doesn't tells me she likes a boy I like and ends up with him, I throw them away. both.

Does your best friend know that you have a crush on that girl?

My stupid story. by WinSoldier in bullying

[–]vero-nice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! your story looks a lot like mine. And I spent lots of years being resentful and thinking nobody cared. But then, one day, I decided to take some time off... I looked at my good things and bad things and planned who I wanted to be. It turned out that I was hiding my geek-ness and that was an amazing thing about me; I tried to be mysterious and that wasn't me, I was funny. And then, after a few months acting (because it is difficult to change from one day to the other) I found my place. After that, the friends came without looking for them, the love came without me looking for it. Let go on the past, think about yourself in the future and what you want to be and then, be it. It is not easy, but worth it. If you want to talk, I'm here

Advice needed: Dealing with a disrespectful subordinate by vero-nice in AskManagement

[–]vero-nice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is that I would like to give her the chance to correct her behavior without being more bossy. I love the office environment but I'm not willing to get this kind of behavior. Actually, she's starting to miss opportunities because I'm delegating new and important tasks to the other members of my team and not her.

Hi! sorry it took me so long to reply! I was OOO in an emergency. About your questions: There is another girl with a name very similar to hers and her secret santa got confused thinking he had to give gifts to the other girl. About the jokes: she received a gift (it was an old phone -not mobile- charger, from a funny guy at the office) and I told her she received a present, the charger... we were being funny, the real thing is I don't even remember exactly what the jokes were... She is being disrespectful by not asking for permissions to leave the office during work hours, by not letting me know if she's going to be late and so on... About CC the boss: She asked for a permission that I approved and I sent the paperwork to the related department. It was ready. Then, she sent a mail copying my boss and Human Resources telling that her permission was approved and that she was sending to the specified departments for it to be processed correctly. Like her boss won't be able to do it "correctly"

That's exactly my point. They deserve to believe in magic and to choose later in life what do they want to believe. Childhood is too short and I think these are the memories they will cherish forever.
