  • They got my mom like that… like literally a month before her retirement (25-something years working for them). Then HR offered her job back (a week later) because they had fucked up the paper trail, and knew it could come back on them

    I advised her to lawyer-up, because it was an obvious wrongful termination/discrimination. But alas, she’s too sweet for her own good and happily retired now

    She babysat for extra income and funsies (because she loves kids and was bored) spends a LOT more time with her grand-babies, and just continued being her sweet self, without having to deal with the grind. She could’ve been better off, had they not fucked her over; but it just wasn’t a priority for her to go through the rigamaro. I’ll always respect her for it

    But also… man, I wish she would’ve fucked those people up in court, just outta principle. I hope to be as strong in the real way, like her one day





  • Well that’s a left-field response. He’s not just employing friends and family, he’s also employing loyalists who’ve garnered favors from him (because of their loyalty). And it isn’t just a business, it’s a government

    I would employ my family if I could, but I sure as hell wouldn’t choose them over qualified professionals, whether it’s a business or a government. I’m sure as shit not gonna have someone with no financial expertise running my accounting, no matter how much I love them.

    Don’t make everything political and start stirring shit, we have enough of that right now



  • I’ve been written off as “absent-minded” (yet everyone seeks my advice for major life shit)

    I feel this in my bones. My family has always labeled me as “aloof, absent-minded, head in the clouds”… and somehow always seem to forget that I’m the one that shows up or gets called when shit goes sideways

    I’ve tried to accept that it’s just an “endearing” label from them, and they don’t actually believe I’m unreliable… because they still (individually) fall back on me whenever they need someone to come through. I’m an “aloof crisis hotline” I guess
