WorkI (27 F) was at a group work training for my job this past weekend. The company put a bunch of us up in a hotel and had us attend a day-long presentation about our goals for the next quarter. For context: We're in sales, it's highly compet*tive, and the group consisted of mostly older employees with me being the youngest. After a full day of meetings, a few of us decided to get dinner at a res...
OtherAt my company we’ve recently had a position come up for a supervisor in our warehouse. I wanted to promote from within so put a notice up then anyone is welcome to apply and I’ll consider everyone. It’s an extra £5 an hour so I had a lot of people apply. I’ve also been recruiting in the warehouse as it’s got busy and took on another 10 members of staff. I always try and pay £5 an hour above...
BoundariesMy wife and I have been married for 3 years and together for 7. Last year, my wife had a miscarriage and it was a really hard time for her. She struggled a lot with it, and I was there for her and supported her through it. Last week, my wife asked me if she could take her co worker out to a French restaurant for dinner since he was French too. I was really uncomfortable with it, and I asked my ...
RelationshipOkay, so this happened last week and my husband is still mad at me. I (29F) have been married to my husband (32M) for three years, together for six. We’ve had our ups and downs, but this one is making me question if I really messed up. So, my husband has been looking for a new job for months. He finally landed an interview at this company he's been obsessed with since college—literally calls it...
WorkI work at a daycare in a very, let's say monochrome, neighborhood. I'm the only guy who works in a childcare role there. Sometimes I feel like my coworkers think I'm less competent because I don't have those "natural maternal instincts" I'm always hearing about. There are only three people who work here that aren't white, and one of them is me. So there's this little girl that I'll call Suz...
BoundariesI've been living with my girlfriend for two years. At first, everything was great—we got along well, spent time together, and had a good balance between our personal lives and being a couple. But a few months ago, she started building a career as an influencer. At the beginning, it was just a fun hobby for her—some pictures, a couple of videos, nothing over the top. I always supported her and ...
RelationshipI (24F) have been dating my bf (27M) for almost 2 years. Everything was great until 3 months ago when I got a promotion that basically doubled my salary. I'm now making way more than him, and I can tell it's been bothering him. Last week, we were at dinner with his college budd*es and their gfs. Someone asked about my new job, and I was excitedly explaining it when my bf interrupted with "yeah ...
RelationshipSo I've been dating this guy (27M) for two years now. Dude is like *anti-corporate to the extreme*. He’s constantly going off about how capitalism is t**sh, anyone working a “normal” job is brainwashed, blah blah blah. Meanwhile, I’m (25F) actually doing pretty well at my office job. I mean, it’s not my “life’s pa*sion” or anything, but it’s solid, I’m decent at it, and hey, it pays the bills....
RelationshipI (29F) am supposed to be marrying the love of my life (31M) in a few months. We’ve been planning this wedding for over a year, and it’s been a beautiful, but stressful, experience. But there’s one person casting a shadow over everything, and that’s my fiancé’s “work wife,” *Lily* (30F). Let me backtrack a little. My fiancé and Lily have been friends and coworkers for around five years. At ...
RelationshipI (34M) work in construction, and my wife (32F) makes me the best lunches. Shes an amazing cook, and every morning she wakes up at 4am and cooks me or packs me som**hing fresh, things like birria, tamales, pozole, or sometimes just tacos with homemade tortillas.She even includes fresh salsa and agua fresca or horchata. Im not trying to brag, but my lunchbox is like a 5 star meal compared to th...
RelationshipI (30F) have been married to my husband, Tom (32M), for 4 years. We both work full-time jobs—he works in IT, and I work in marketing. Despite us having similar work hours, I’ve somehow ended up being the one who cooks dinner every single night. At first, I didn’t mind because I enjoy cooking, but over time, it’s become exhausting. Some days, I come home after a long day and just want to relax....
WorkI'm a quiet guy and genuinely friendly. I treats all my coworkers as friends. About, 2 months ago, during a work lunch, one of my coworker started choking so i did the Heimlich thing to help her, after she's in the clear the others cheered i asked if she alright, she just nodded and head to the bathroom without a word so i didn't think much about that. Until, two days later i got called in to H...
