Here's some r/relationships ripped straight from the headlines. Thomas Middleditch and Wife Mollie Gates Divorcing After 4 Years of Marriage  quote:"Only after I got married was I like, 'Mollie, I'm sorry, but we have to get nontraditional here,'" he shared. "To her credit, instead of saying 'F--k you, I'm out,' she was like, 'Let's figure this out.' To be honest, swinging has saved our marriage."

AITA for defending myself against my boss criticizing that I'm eager to leave on time at the end of the day?quote:Well, yesterday we had performance reviews at the office. I didn't really know what to expect from mine, but I knew it wouldn't be anything bad since I do my work and do it well, don't talk much, keep to myself as much as possible, and never complain out loud. I won't lie, though. I loathe this job. However, it's tolerable enough for me to show up every day on time, do what's expected of me and then some when I'm in a good enough mood, and duke it out until I can find something better.

He was on Silicon Valley and some other things. Honestly, the only reason this stood out to me was because he gave an interview about a year ago about how he sprung an open relationship on his wife immediately after getting married and how awesome it is and how it can be tough but they're really into communication and boundaries and everything. That's where the first part of that quote of his is from. I remember reading it and just laughing.

Tashilicious posted:that company engages in blatant time theft and gets huffy if someone wants to leave on time. He was being a proud rear end in a top hat over it rather then doing the smart thing of saying he has life/family commitments to be responsible for which is why he keeps a tight schedule. You have to be one dumb motherfucker to proudly brag about how eager you are to leave your place of work to your superior during a performance review. And that isn't even remotely time theft, nearly every timecard system rounds to the nearest 10 or 15 min increment and most places allow it to work both ways letting people clock out a few minutes early and still getting the full time or letting people arrive a few minutes late and not be docked pay. When you have a boss who is "4:57 pm clocked out is leaving early we're putting you on a PIP" then you have a petty tyrant who just wants to flex on everyone they can and the time in/out is just the easiest for them to harass you over. quote:I do my work and do it well, don't talk much, keep to myself as much as possible, and never complain out loud. I won't lie, though. I loathe this job. However, it's tolerable enough for me to show up every day on time, do what's expected of me and then some when I'm in a good enough mood, and duke it out until I can find something better. And I guarantee they've noticed this behavior and attitude. Most everyone hates their job, but they don't make it part of their personality and put it on full display it at work like an angry, simmering loner. Part of being successful in a work environment means requiring you to engage in perfunctory social pleasantries and make people like you. When it times coming to furlough or lay off staff no one is going to go bat for the guy with a perpetual scowl on his face who doesn't talk to anyone and just does his job. pentyne fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Jun 3, 2020 |

I don't think that person really gives a poo poo if they're passed over for a promotion seeing as they say they loathe the job and are only there until they can find something better. It sounds like they're putting in the exact right amount of effort to me. Yes, kissing corporate rear end and pretending you live to work might get you ahead, but I think the OP is ultimately doing a service by not bowing down to their boss about that bullshit criticism.

While this is true if the policy is fair, you can't always round in favor of the company in 10 minute increments, and is in-fact time theft. Besides this comes across as a sort of '37 pieces of flair' thing. And sometimes in a boring job, what you want is an employee with next to no ambition who completes their assigned work and is OK with a COL increase every year.

 AITA for telling my daughter (17) that it is unacceptable to eat after dinner quote:17yo eats a little too much and I’m just trying to make sure she doesn’t gain weight or develops a eating problem. She will eat a bunch of snacks in between meals and still weight pretty average. In no way she is close to chubby and mostly just a petite girl. What I’m more upset about is that she will continue to eat a lot of food when I explained to her that it’s not healthy for her. There are wrappers of food hidden everywhere and I will find her sneaking downstairs to get some food. I try to especially limit it before dinner time, however, she will always have fifteen snacks but she always eat what I give her also!

He's still a moron because a) 80% of a corporate/office/cubicle job is play acting at being busy and liking your job b) Never burn a bridge behind you in your job history c) Using them as a reference one day means they might poo poo talk you about that with the vague "not a team player" terms d) It takes zero effort to lie and make up an excuse about needing to leave on time e) There's no reason to be an anti-social loner if you have coworkers, you can socialize with them around the coffee maker or chat for a few minutes about work/life casual topics f) He sounds like someone who expects to get by on the merits of his work alone and sees socializing at a job he hates as beneath him which is far more telling about his personality then anything else; most human beings have jobs they hate and at least get along with the people they work with to stay sane g) Don't talk poo poo about your current employer on social media, and especially don't get negative about them in the middle of a performance review, save that for when you've moved on

are you a director of operations? WIBTA if I used a squirt bottle on my boyfriend's cat? quote:First off, let me say that I love cats and have lived with at least one practically my whole life. I hate using squirt bottles on cats as a form of discipline/punishment, but I don't really see another way here. My SO and I have been dating for over two and a half years and began living together almost four months ago. His cat has never been overly fond of me, but I never felt she was being aggressive until recently. Since we've moved in together, whenever she is doing something wrong (i.e. up on the table, picking at the carpet) and I try to stop her, she hisses and tries to scratch me. I frequently have to get my boyfriend to get her to stop what she's doing. Earlier today while he was at work, she got somewhere she was not supposed to be and when I went to move her, she actually scratched me. I've tried spending one-on-one time with her and we get along fine during that, but whenever she's doing something she knows she's not supposed to, she reacts this way towards me. I need to find some way to get her to stop when she's misbehaving and I'm alone, but my boyfriend is very resistant to me asking him to get a squirt bottle for me to use when he's not here, even though I told him that it would only be used if she tried to scratch me again. So, would I be the rear end in a top hat if I used a squirt bottle on the cat.

SoftNum posted:Trying to encourage healthy eating habits is good but it's not something you can start at 17 when they start putting on a little chub. OP says their daughter is "weight average, more like petite", so she definitely hasn't started putting on 'a little chub'. If she's actually eating 15 snacks before dinner and then eating all of her dinner on top of that, it seems more likely to me that OP is giving her portions that are way too drat small. 17 is still within range for puberty to be ongoing, and if she participates in any sports or is generally physically active, she's going to be needing a lot more calories than I think OP realizes. Entirely possible that OP is body-shaming the daughter and policing her food choices, and not taking into account the fact that teenagers are goddamn voracious because they're in active growth mode. Thus the trying to hide how much she's snacking (because she's constantly hungry, because OP isn't providing enough food) and bursting into tears over being harassed over a burrito. All of which is going to do more to gently caress her up than anything else.

Also lol at going to bat for "rounding is not wage theft" when the company was clearly gunning for him working a bit over, but not enough over to hit that extra quarter hour of pay. I've worked for places like that and had friends/family work for places like that, 100% of the time you will get in trouble if the rounding goes in your favor often enough to cost the company money. Show up 7 mins late for clock in, stay 8 minutes over for clock out, do that for a couple of weeks and bingo bango you will be let go. Until you hit a point you're showing up early (but not too early) and leaving late (but not too late) you'll be harassed in performance reviews about not being committed. Sure that 14 minutes a day doesn't seem like a lot but you multiply that by all their employees for years and suddenly it adds up, which is why wage theft is such a common thing.

The solution being "clock in on time, clock out on time" and if you have a company that throws a fit over 1-2 minutes then you can't gently caress around and be late to work. If the place is pushing you to come on 5 min early and stay 5 min late then they'll probably make up whatever they want to fire you anyways and you have to keep your guard up at all times and document everything. This comes up a lot for places that are "clock out now and finish up your work" usually Wal-Mart or fast food in which case you either do it or lose you job and hope you have some other option. Also when your boss asks why you stare at the clock in the run up to the clock out say "I just keep to a tight schedule as a personal habit" and don't make a big deal about how you clearly don't like working there. If you aren't convincing your boss that you love your job while simultaneously taking every advantage you can then I don't know what you tell you, you're working harder then you should. pentyne fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Jun 3, 2020 |

Whether it works depends on the cat though. Mine liked playing "dodge the bottle" and learned that misbehaving was the way to signal that he wanted to start playing so I had to change tactics. In his case it was a firm "no" and disengage, since he was very playful and wanted the interaction. Also on hot days he'd scratch at the furniture and then sit there purring when I sprayed him. Absolutely adorable.
