AITA for wanting my employee to stop talking about her dead husband?quote:I (22F) am a supervisor at a corporate home improvement store. I am over the entire front end including approximately 30 cashiers ages ranging from 16-70. I have one employee who we will call Annie, she is i think in her mid 60’s. Annie had a husband who has been battling cancer for as long as most can remember, ive only been with the company for about a year and many people have talked about how her husband kept going through chemo and dialysis and all sorts of treatments to keep him going.

In a retail environment her coworkers have been saints to do what they've done. She should not be dumping this on people who are also likely barely keeping it together. That's what therapy is for.

We have to take into account that the coworkers were subjected to years of bad news about the now-deceased husband and were now hoping for an end to it instead of becoming grief counselors for the next months or years.

I think the handbook says to pull her aside and tell her she needs to be cheerful for her customers and coworkers and if she does that it will also make her feel better

The manager will pass the buck upwards and the grieving widow will probably end up beibg fired.

In no world are you the rear end in a top hat; this is the correct opinion to have. They should not be expected to martyr themselves indefinitely for the $11.50 Home Depot pays. Also this is not part of their job. In a perfect world, the government would provide grief counseling to people like this and 60+ year old people would not have to work minimum wage jobs to sustain themselves like in Scandinavian countries, but neither of those things are the coworkers' fault. limp_cheese posted:Is this weird to anybody else? What part are you asking about? As mentioned, our old people can never stop working if they want to avoid living on the street. If you're asking about OP's age, she is probably like a shift manager of the other cashiers and does not have the authority to fire the employee on her own initiative. Like when you see a half dozen people working at a fast food restaurant, one of those people may be the supervisor and thus making an extra $2 an hour, but they probably do not have much actual authority to do things like hire/fire. hawowanlawow posted:you mean because she's a manager after a year? or just the ages? from what I can tell you just have to want to be a manager and they will know you're fool enough to be taken advantage of Yeah pretty much this. It's like being an RA: it attracts a certain type, and is not worth the slight bump in pay.

AITA for not letting my friends husband order for the table and calling him a control freak?quote:My friends husband is your "typical oldschool man" who thinks men should order for women at restaurants and be the one to talk to the servers. It pisses me off to no end and i've told him several times not to do this for me as he has no idea what i'd want and that I think he is overstepping. AITA for telling my wife she embarrassed everyone during son's birthday dinner? quote:For starters, I just want to say we do have money and don't have a need to save money. My wife(42F) currently works as a part-time nurse. I(42M) work in the local police department as a detective. We have two kids, son(12M) and daughter(`13F). My wife has started wanting to save money and it's starting to annoy the kids. An example, we were giving the kids $10 each week for allowance, but my wife decided that $10 was too much and lowered it to $3. I have told her that I think the allowance amount is too low, but she disagrees. who the hell is still eating out during covid

limp_cheese posted:Is this weird to anybody else? She is a “floor supervisor” at Home Depot or whatever. It means she has a key so when someone needs to do a return she walks over to the register and swipes it because regular cashiers cannot be trusted to do such an important task. I was doing it at 19 because the requirement is “work at that job for at least 6 months and don’t get caught stealing”.

I've heard of people centralizing orders for dinner, but what sicko is ordering non family style dishes for everyone at a table without their input? The gently caress? If you wanna be big man and order all the food you gotta pay for everything and it has to be family style dining.

Biplane posted:When my ex was about 3 months pregnant with our son, we were having lunch with a friend of ours, who made a "joke" about maybe the baby would die in the womb and we could all get drunk again, like we used to. The joke was so funny we didn't speak to her for about 5 years! Haha! A friend and I had a falling out (we have since made up) and I remember seeing her announce her pregnancy on Facebook, and I was a bit horrified and worried, because she posted it when she was maybe 2 months along, and the women in her family all had had a lot of health issues and problems with conceiving and carrying to term. Not horrified she was pregnant, horrified something bad would happen because she was celebrating so early. It had taken years for her to conceive with IVF and they were barely able to afford the last round. We got back into contact when she was later in term, and never once did I mention how uncomfy her announcement had made me. Because she had prenatal care courses every week, and would chat about them with me, wanting to hear my input. The worst one was for the 37th week, when the class was about late term miscarriages. Holy gently caress that was hard. BTW her daughter is awesome and about 3 years old and loves dinosaurs. AITA for offering to be my coworker’s sperm donor? quote:I (29M) have a lesbian coworker (27F) who got engaged over New Year’s. She and I have always gotten along and been friendly. One time when we were getting lunch last year, the lady at the cash register said we made a cute couple and we’ve laughed about it a couple of times since then. I was thinking about that when I talked to her after she made her engagement announcement - I said “Congratulations on getting engaged! I know you and fiancée might want kids and since we make such a cute couple, hit me up if you need a sperm donor”. I was trying to be jokey and fun but she immediately stopped smiling and two of our other coworkers looked shocked. I tried to explain that I was just trying to make a joke that was kind of an in-joke between me and her. I said, sorry, it was a stupid joke, but since then she’s seemed uncomfortable around me. Now this should be in a movie. It probably is. Fun fact: family friend of mine is a lesbian, and she and her wife decided to have kids. They used the same sperm donor for both, but it was someone the biomom knew, had worked with, was friends with, and everyone got along. They also drew up a ton of legal documents, did counselling, etc. The kids are now 18 and 15, and the sperm donor's wife jokes that she is a partial donor because she helped get the actual samples out. But never, ever did he offer to be the donor. Because, maybe I'm old fashioned, but that is pretty loving weird.

Bringing it up unprompted like that is both weird and creepy.

Yeah, I was going to say. If they want you to be the donor they will approach you. It's weird enough as is, you being the one to bring it up first makes it even weirder.

AITA for going to my parents house while my roommate painted her room?quote:My roommate (34F) and I (31F) decided to buy a house together after living together in apartments for the past 10 years. She and I dated from 2013 to 2019. We are still best friends. We moved in in February of 2021. From the talks we had before moving in we agreed that our house would look so cute if we painted every room a different shade of purple. Purple is both of our favorite colors and purple is a color that everybody loves. It goes with everything. *reads title* Yeah, paint fumes can be a bit overbearing and give you a headache, that's fine! *reads post* What the gently caress. What. The. gently caress.
