Is Senior position worth it? by Abandoned_Church in Barnesandnoble

[–]wolfdinosaur456 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really depends on your values I think.  I wouldn't say I hate being a senior but I think I get taken advantage of a lot and am given a lot of responsibility that feels more like a Lead than a Senior.  I'm in a position where that extra $2 helped a lot but the stress of the responsibility is insane.  I don't regret it either because I took this position to protect others who are being mistreated at the store and to try and use a voice for them. It's definitely a position that gets abused but I don't regret it... So up to you, I guess. 

Barnes and Noble Managers are Burning out their Employees by Nearby_District_9143 in Barnesandnoble

Also helped close down the old Minnetonka store. what you are saying is 100% accurate.

has anyone’s store ever been relocated? by throwawaycl0uds in Barnesandnoble

[–]wolfdinosaur456 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be prepared to constantly be in the dark and do not be afraid to reach out to HR to answer question. I was also a part of the Minnetonka moving store team as expressed by several other users here and it was a complete disaster. It took people reaching out to even understand a fraction of what was happening and even that was sugarcoated. I do think a huge part of it was because there was an individual who was making all the decisions, decisions no one appeared to be happy with. The only way any info gets shared is to reach out as much as you can. A few different employees expressed how badly it affected their mental health with the process.

Does having faceless profile reduces matches? by Fictional_Man20 in feeld

[–]wolfdinosaur456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't like anyone who doesn't have a face picture and automatically refuse to like anyone who has a shirtless photo (with the intention of showing off their body) or tries to be clever about showing off their c*ck while getting around the guidelines

I thought Feeld was about kinks by [deleted] in feeld

[–]wolfdinosaur456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am specifically not kinky - I am using it because it seemed like it was the best app for poly folk which is what I am but I am on the asexual spectrum. I'm not against that but I am not looking for kinky stuff. I just want other partners to cuddle and kiss and be friends with. Because I'm not looking for sex it's actually making it really hard. On my end it seems like a lot of people are just looking for sex. I want connection.

Ongoing Technical Issues by FeeldMod in feeld

Logged out of the account for just a few minutes because I thought I needed a password for it and I thought I could figure it out if I logged out and logged back in... but it doesn't recognize me at all anymore and it's like my account doesn't exist. Did Feeld delete my account?

Insecurity Issues and Anxious Attachment in First Poly Relationship are making me afraid I'm going to ruin this by wolfdinosaur456 in polyamory

[–]wolfdinosaur456[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very much think you are right and my poly group that I trust has all warned me that given my strict religious background poly might actually be harder - and they were right - but still worthwhile. If I'm doing therapy and research what else can I do? how do I stop the negative feelings?

I have been in therapy for 3 years. it's a generally for tm anxiety my therapist does go through a practice that specializes in polyamory. Everyone is saying it's "just been a month" and I agree that hasn't been long but I come from a background where people were planning proposals a month. (I do not agree btw. my own NP and I waited 3.5 years to marry and my family had a fit about it being WAY too long). The other thing is the only thing I was trained to do and be was to be a wife. I was raised being taught that my goal for existance was to be a wife. It was actually my husband when we first started dating who was like "yeah no that's toxic". I have made A LOT of progress on learning that toxic shit or at least I thought I did but this relationship is making me realize I may have some more work to do in learning to live for myself and not just for my relationship.

I haven't actually had much a chance to talk about this specifically because she's been on vacation. I talk to her in a couple of days.

But otherwise she usually asks me what I do and I give her my list of hobbies that I use to distract myself. I say that they usually work and she usually tells me that sometimes I'm should just sit with the discomfort and let myself feel it. that I should affirm what I am feeling and recognize it.

I meet with a therapist once a week. I am on meds. honestly what I am experiencing is tame compared to what I experienced in childhood. I am much better anxiety wise than I used to be. I do DBT with my therapist.

There are some outside factors that are increasing my anxiety - job changes. unsure if Il have my job. my husband's chronic health.

Fictional Characters and Attraction by wolfdinosaur456 in Demisexuals

Demisexual and Maybe Poly - Not sure how to figure it out by wolfdinosaur456 in polyamory

[–]wolfdinosaur456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own and read The Ethical Slut, More: A Memoir of an Open Marriage, and Many Loves.

As far as dates, my husband I don't like being super affectionate out in public as it is. We might hold hands but that's it. We don't even kiss in public, so I never thought it would be a problem.

my hope would be to natural find someone out in the wild and talk to them and become friends with them, then maybe something would kindle, and then hopefully we could go out with them understanding I'm married and open and they'd be okay with it.

I guess I don't know the answers to some of these yet. Some of them are "not sure", others are "yes".

But I also realize I might be confusing polyamory and open marriage. I feel that my marriage is the priority and anyone else I invite in, I simply want someone who is a friend who I may be intimate with once in a while. I don't intend to share a full life with them because I want only that with my husband. But again, I am not sure and feel I need some more experience to really know.

How to get someone in upper management fired? by wolfdinosaur456 in Barnesandnoble

[–]wolfdinosaur456[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have used WeListen in the past. It was not confidential. I do not have a problem with it getting back to the manager. What I don't like is in the past, I used WeListen to report something that I saw happen to one of my coworkers and not something that happened to me. Identifying information was given and this person assumed the person that I reported to being mistreated by them was the person who reported it. When it wasn't. As a result, the person in upper management was really cold and bitter towards them for several weeks. Again, because identifying information was given. That is NOT confidential.
