Who the hell “pre-games” for a company party anyway? That’s just giving the bad decisions train an extra push out of the station.

The good thing is, she probably doesn't have to worry about people remembering it... because she's probably getting fired!

Do this every year with a group around her age, but I'm smart enough to not get hammered. There's a reason my company no longer offers an open bar and has the party on a Thursday.

My (27f) boyfriend (28m) of 2 years did something horrible at his work xmas do and I don’t know how to talk to him about it.quote:Last Friday, my boyfriend’s work held its annual xmas do. He usually barely drinks but came home absolutely trashed. For background, one of his coworkers (I’ll call her A) has been on and off flirting with him for the past few months (according to him). This was supposedly one sided from her. He was completely out of it when he came home, and he babbled on and on about how much A wanted him, seemed totally confused at who I was, eventually stripping down, searching for porn on his phone that looked like A (she has a distinctive look), and having a wank while talking about A. Right in front of me. It's holiday party season y'all

After 5 years at an advertising agency let me tell you this: if it's going to be a drinking party (and it always was), put in for a day off after the party the minute the announcement goes out. Your hungover self will thank you.

The worst action someone can do is to deny their true nature by forgetting the time they stripped down and jerked off in the middle of a living room while screeching about some random person. That was him, and he forgot what that means.

Me [32F] with my husband [35M] are not doing well financially. My brother [36M] offered to help me get a better paying job and I accepted. Husband says I was wrong because it breaks our family's self-sufficiency. We have two kids, 4M and 7F and have been together for about 9 years. We live in an expensive area. I've recently gone back to work after my pregnancies and had been working slightly above minimum wage. My husband's career hasn't progressed as well as we had hoped (some setbacks that were mostly out of his control) and it's been a difficult few years for us financially. Combined we're making about 60K. This would be fine in a cheap area but we live in a super expensive area. We had to downsize our home and sell our car because we couldn't afford them anymore and we had unexpected expenses, and we haven't been able to pay back our student loan debts yet. We barely keep up with the interest payment alone. Obviously this change has been noticeable to family members. We're both a little too proud to accept help from others and I know this is rather a flaw than a virtue and I've been trying to work on it to learn to accept help when it's genuinely offered from a place of love and compassion. A few years ago I would have always declined because it would have made me feel insecure in my own abilities to take care of myself. I think that's my husband's mindset. I have a very successful older brother. A few months ago he asked to have lunch with me and he asked about our financial situation. I didn't lie to him and told him it's very difficult. He held my hands and said "I would have offered to give you money if I thought you'd accept but I know you well enough to know you won't, so I'm gonna offer something else. I can put you in touch with some people who will be able to get you a job that pays a lot better than your current one, so you can take care of yourself better. It's not a handout, you'll earn what you make. I'll just help you get the job that's all." And... I accepted. I wouldn't have a few years ago but I know my brother is just concerned and wants to help me in the way he knows it will be most effective, and I know there would be no strings attached and he wouldn't expect anything in return from me. So I swallowed my pride and agreed for him to help me. Why would you need to keep your pride with your most loved ones anyway. I think I'm over my old mindset (for the most part). I told my husband about the new opportunity but I might have done a mistake here as I didn't immediately tell my husband about how the opportunity presented itself to me. He was excited and I got the new job (still had to do interviews and get selected, and it's not easy but it's a nice corporate job and pays a lot more). Our combined income is now in six figures and we get much better benefits. We can now pay back our student loans much faster, save much better for our retirement and have more spending money for ourselves and kids. This was all great, until I told my husband that my brother helped me get this job. His attitude completely changed and he says now our family is beholden to someone else for the rest of our lives and it's not worth it. He says he knows my brother is a very good person and will never want anything in return, but he says it's the principle that he despises not who we're beholden to. He says this is a bad example to set for our kids. And he believes this was nepotism which is morally questionable. He tells me it's my choice, but he'll be a million times happier if I returned to my old jobs and made less money. He also says that he's disappointed in me because I deviated from the mindset and values that we've held together for so long. He says I should have told him right then so that he'd have a chance to talk me out of it or I'd have had a chance to change his mind before it was too late. And now he sees this as a mess that there's no easy way to clean. He says he doesn't like his wife to be the little sister who needs her big brother to take care of her. I just... don't see these things that way. I don't think accepting genuine help is bad. And it's my job and career in the end. There's also a level of hypocrisy on his part as he has helped his younger brother to get a job. So what's the difference when my older brother helps me? So I guess my questions are, whether I made a mistake not telling him how the job opportunity presented itself to me until after I had began working the new job? And do you have any suggestions as to how to reconcile these differences with him? I'd really appreciate it. tl;dr: We weren't doing well financially. My older brother helped me get a much better paying job with better benefits which makes a big difference to our family. My husband thinks this sets a bad example for our kids as we're no longer a self-sufficient family and we should be take care of ourselves. I disagree. But I didn't tell him about my brother helping me getting the job until after I accepted it. Did I make a mistake? Husband seems to think so. How can we reconcile these differences?

My (F/34) enunciation causing some issues with coworkers (M/F 40-55)quote:To make a long story as as possible, about a year and a half ago my work partner screwed up, causing both of us to be pulled from our jobs and temporarily reassigned while it was investigated. Turns out he was doing some really shady stuff whenever I was off from work (sick/vacations). He ended up being fired and I was restored to my position. I've been with the company eleven years, but had only been in my current position a little over a year when everything went south. She should contact a labor lawyer for a lawsuit under the ADA, then propose a settlement where she'll resign and they'll be obligated to provide positive recommendations for a job somewhere else.
