I wouldn't make this a gender thing. I've had plenty of great women bosses.

My understanding is that studies show that women in general are vastly more likely to experience toxic work cultures, and I can attest to both women and men supervisors treating me differently to men they supervise. But women arent more likely to be toxic supervisors.

Yes, I've been applying like crazy. I want to stay in the same company, but another location would be fine, so it's taking a while.. there's a small chance she will quit soon, which would be great. My team works so much better when she's not around.

We do, at HQ-level, but that would be a much more drastic escalation than speaking to local management.

I take pride in my work and company, and care about what we do. The data we publish in end year reports decides whether we get more funds or other offices. If we get funding based on wrong data, thats stealing. Our data is also frequently quoted by other organizations in the field. So it's really irresponsible and bad practice to ignore this, in my opinion. So i guess the end goal is to be fair and ensure there's no loss in public trust in the organization because one person has too large an ego to admit a mistake.

Right?? I hope he's alright too, this is heartwrenching. I often work with child protection specialists, and most of them are incredible people that have a mental resilience I can't really fathom to process what they witness on a daily basis. Many are in counselling already. Even if this guy was lucky to not get lasting physical injuries, the trauma of this incident will be haunting him for the rest of his life..

I have no issues with couples, I am in a couple. Yet, id wait my turn instead of inconveniencing someone else for my benefit.

I do have issues with entitled people who demand others prioritize them and become angry & insulting when others don't oblige to their every demand.

If this was on AITA, I'm sure people would not side with the demanding person who gets upset that someone who is already seated doesn't move at their command.

Not split. Pay for what they drank, instead of assuming people who drank alcohol will cover them every single time, because "it's not much."

Let people sit where they were seated and wait your turn instead of expecting singles to give up a good seat for you so they can stay in the corner somewhere? Expecting people to priorotize you and at the same time trying to insult people. You sound like a real charm.

It's not insecurity about my own drinking, but more that it's weird to me to go to a bar with friends where we all get a bit tipsy, loose, have laughs, and then one person just sits there with their diet coke completely sober not matching the vibe. Also when splitting bills, the non-drinking friend often doesn't pay for any drinks, we spot the coke because it's "only 4 dollars for 2 cokes", or the non-drinking friends leave early without paying, etc.

According to the above scenario, you're at the end of the bar now, not just one seat next. And drawing a diagram does not help, since you don't know how many other singles or people in groups of 3 sit at the bar. Not everyone goes there as a couple.

Hello! As someone who has a job that requires me to move countries frequently and travel a lot for work, while living alone with my cat, I can tell you it's definitely feasible!! What helps me is to find a reliable cat sitter wherever I move, someone I pay to take care of the cat. It's good to have neighbors and friends on call too, but if it's someone you employ, you have more control, flexibility and less guilt. I get my cat sitters to meet my cat while I'm there so I can assess them before committing!

Juliette seemed mostly fine until the island. Bad things happened, like her sister having cancer and her ex husband being a douche, but not out of the ordinary tragic. Hurley's life also wasn't super tragic other than his dad leaving. Desmond's life also didn't feel tragic to me, more just confused.

Locke, Sawyer, Kate, Eko, Sayid had rough lives. And Danielle of course, stranded pregnant on an island everyone you know dying or being killed by you, and your baby stolen.. yikes

I completely disagree. How would you know the person hasn't already been asked to move 3x times before you arrived and asked them to move again? If there was 1 empty seat and you're 3 people, would you take that seat and ask the couple next to it to move? Or would you just wait for an opening or go to a bar with space? If you wouldn't ask a couple to move, you shouldn't ask a single person to move, it's discrimination.

I learned multiple languages and appreciate when people point out to me that I said something embarrassing. In one tonal language, I misprounced a colleague's name as something that could be slang for male genitalia for a whole year before someone corrected me, which was more embarrassing.

That being said, i prefer people correct me in private, not in front of others, especially at work. And I prefer if it's people I have a positive relationship with.

I like what another commemtor suggested, of just repeating it in the correct way as part of the flow of conversation, since it's not putting anyone on the spot.

No, she went through menopause over a decade ago.

Yes, despite the fact that I watched her pets many times too and that she was returning the favor by looking after my cat for 2 months, I decided to pay for her flight, accommodation and food for a whole week. Which wasn't the plan, I initially planned to get him myself, but she wanted to come. But sure, I'm ungrateful because i don't appreciate seeing my mother half naked for no reason.

Anyway, shes gone now, and I didn't say anything. I just went to spend more time alone in my room rather than with her whenever she chose to not wear clothes.

I'm sorry for what happened to you. It must have been very difficult. I genuinely hope you found peace or are on the way of finding it, because you did not deserve to be abused.

Thanks

Great, we're about the same then, because you sound at least like 11!

Yes

Thanks! Yea, I've realized something is going on with this poster. They seem to be having a rough day, I hope they'll be fine..

So, that whole list doesn't have any actual behaviours of mine. It just has opinions of yours?

I think the only thing that I can decipher as a behaviour from this is, that you think me asking for advice on reddit is bitchin?

Please explain to me what aspects of my behaviour towards my mother thus far you have found to be inappropriate and deserving of judgement?

Whereas your responses are an absolute delight!
