I have outed one person under extreme unusual circumstances. It was during an investigation where it provided vital context about the actions of a third party, the person investigating promised that the specifics wouldn't make it into the final report, the person who I outed later told me I did the right thing, and I still feel like garbage about it. I can't imagine this woman not feeling like an rear end in a top hat, even if she does think she was justified.

Brawnfire posted:Haha, gently caress that. I left jobs if I'd been there multiple years cleaning up messes and they decided to get petty with me. The smaller the thing, the more likely I'd just loving walk, because it's clear that no amount of good graces was ever getting me past the "idiot we hired off the street" category in some diseased restaurant manager's mind. I feel like my whole life has turned around when I started just telling my boss to fire me when they harass me over something inconsequential. Obviously if you're living hand to mouth this isn't so much of an option, but I feel like society will generally improve if more people just give poo poo to their bosses when they are bothered over stupid things. I am now known as the 'Fire Me' guy at work and it has improved my entire worklife. My favorite moment was when a new manager was walking over my desk to gently caress with me about not wearing a tie and the old manager just stopped him with a "not THAT guy" kind of look. It is routinely 100 degrees Farenheit where we live, they can shove ties up their asses. It also kind of provides motivation for me to do a really good job at work, because then they get to enjoy explaining how they fired a good worker over something that doesn't actually matter just to prove a point. So far I've never been fired but I've deployed Fire Me repeatedly at my last two jobs very consistently and it's been lovely. "Oh, working Saturday is mandatory? Well, you should probably just fire me because there is no way I am coming in." Still haven't worked Saturday. The hard part is the resentment from the poo poo-eating types of coworkers who wonder why I don't have to do extra work. The simple answer is that I flatly refuse to do so, and I wish they would all do the same. If they need someone to work Saturday, then they should loving hire enough people so that the work gets done by Friday.

just think of it. every day you have a huge coat of fur and can barely sweat through your paws. you sleep on top of air vents in your owners home to stay cool. every day you're overheated and then one day a magical substance that makes it the perfect temperature AND is fun to play in is all over the ground and you aren't allowed to play in it because some helicopter parents think they're kid will combust if they touch a dog. smh.

Mustang posted:I agree, the wife is just straight up an rear end in a top hat. He should divorce her and find someone that doesn't get off on treating him like poo poo. Not surprised that someone that wants to move back to their hometown also acts like a teenager. Yeah I'm completely cool with promiscuity, but anyone who feels the need to brag about it after their teenage years reads to me as rather pathetic. Immediate red flag on a dating app if a girl insists on telling me about anyone's dick. Within a few messages once I had a girl brag that she had recently had sex with a guy that had previously had sex with over 1000 women, and he claimed that she was THE BEST. She told me this in an effort to impress me and not inform me that she is extremely gullible and maybe has some new and undiscovered STDs. Or more likely is that this guy really just lost his virginity to her and deployed that amazing line because she obviously believes anything.

Mx. posted:it's really good if you can double down, quit, and then get them to rehire you a few weeks later for way more money Oh it is delicious. I got fired from a teaching job because of some complete bullshit, where I refused to use some Brand New Phone App that is gonna REVOLUTIONISE LEARNING (just like the other 9 mandatory apps we hate). It really opened my eyes to how many schools have worthless suits whose entire job is built around justifying their paycheck by forcing the teachers to REVOLUTIONISE their teaching with crappy clunky technology that will inevitably be eclipsed by whatever crap they shill the next time they get bored. Admin then got to enjoy hordes angry parents calling the school and asking why Mr. Grapes got fired and having the answer that he refused to use the New App (that most of the parents hate too). I got rehired within 2 days at a much higher salary and a willingness to completely dig in on fighting against any stupid bullshit in the future. They created a monster. I did actually get 'fired' once from a boutique tiny little rich kid school (like 40 students in the whole place). They paid me late one too many times so I just walked out, along with my girlfriend who was also teaching there, and told them I would stay home until the cash was in my hands. When the parents asked about us the school told them that we had recently acquired a deadly and contagious disease(!). This was long before Covid. Naturally the parents freaked out - all of them already had my email address and sent their condolences on our impending deaths, only to find out the truth and then completely lose their poo poo. School shut down within 2 months as they all withdrew because it became clear the place was run by an insane person. Like, it's one thing to lie about a missing teacher, but it really is something else to tell a wildly ridiculous lie that will fall apart under 2 seconds of scrutiny. Demonstrates an incompetence of a staggering level when they could have just said 'Paycheck dispute' and left it at that and probably be largely believed.

I'm happy to blow up a closet that is ruining lives, like this woman that he spent years lying to. Think of it as a public service. If she allows his moronic lie to stay, then he will very likely try to find some other doormat woman he can abuse and cheat on to protect his vaunted closeted status. If this guy cared about gay rights then he probably shouldn't be propagating a homophobic cult. I'm all about keeping secrets but if you are being a complete piece of poo poo in order to keep your secret then I have no problem shining light on that mold. If we want go full Godwin's Law: If I met a Nazi that was secretly Jewish, and actually using his Nazi Status to be a piece of poo poo (of course he is), then I'm gonna be first in line to rat him out.

Yeah I have a lot of coworkers who stay hours late and volunteer to do everything. We all get paid exactly the same! They've been doing it for years without complaining in the hopes that someone will 'notice', when really all that is noticed is that this person will happily eat poo poo that you shovel into their mouth, so might as well get a bigger shovel. I admittedly used to be one of those People Who Tried, but I woke up and realised it would never get me anything except self-disgust. Now I'm vociferously anti-boss/work/landlord, gently caress em all. My landlord is actually an awesome dude though, he even lowered the rent and installed new internet infrastructure for free during Covid lockdown. I understand he's rare. I don't think he's in it for the money, he just likes to chill in front of the building on folding chairs with his other old dude friends and drink rice wine and watch sports and play GO. He seems generally happy if there is some sort of problem that needs work, I think he enjoys using tools and feeling generally useful.

Counterpoint: When I was on the dating scene, this was a useful way to identify people who were only looking for casual hook-up partners or poly relationships or something in that spectrum. I'm sure there was some ego in it, but advertising their horniness helped me avoid arrangements that I knew I wouldn't be comfortable with. (and probably helped them avoid accidentally starting drama or a relationship with folks who could only handle a more "vanilla" relationship).

Gay ex is a hardcore rear end in a top hat for lying about his wife and for marrying her in the first place, and would very probably have gone on to marry another beard (and may well still do an "I have prayed away the gay and am marrying some other poor sucker family happy now yay" thing) but still. She was pushed hard but it doesn't absolve her of assholism.

She could gave come up with a better comeback but that’s the kind of poo poo you realise afterwards in the shower you should have said. When someone is lying both TO you and ABOUT you it’s verrrry tempting to throw the truth on the table. E; actually I’m not even gonna equivocate. The entire relationship was using her to closet himself plus use her as a baby incubator (presumably raising the next generation of kids to warp and lie about this to) then even as it’s uncovered, he caps it off by lying about her as a Jezebel to cap it off. gently caress him. I do not believe the “but you *never* out someone” thing is worth it here. massive spider fucked around with this message at 12:44 on Dec 2, 2021 |

Yeah the whole reason I left healthcare for tech was because it’s normal and accepted to quit your job every couple years and you have actual negotiation power even without a union. In fact it’s extremely weird for a good programmer or computer toucher to stay anywhere for a “career” and probably a sign they’re not really into the technical side of their job.

Loyalty is never rewarded. You want a higher paycheck? Find another job. That lady who outed her cheating piece of poo poo ex is in no way the rear end in a top hat. The guy could have come up with a million different excuses to feed his parents that wouldn't have resulted in family members hounding OP directly. He made the mess and she put an end to it.

If you value your time, don’t go into public accounting or consulting. If you value money or have these grand white collar ambitions, they’re not too bad. But you’ll never have time to spend money or time with anyone so use it as time to save for a house or something. Otherwise I don’t see the point.

My sister who went from accountant with zero technical skills to FANG-level project manager in less than 10 years seems like planned her third job before she even started her first. Just like expert level job hopping I think her current job is the first time she’s ever stayed anywhere for more than two years since now she makes more money than god and still gets to mostly do stuff she likes.
