Union rep here. Boyfriend probably didn't articulate himself very well but he isn't wrong. I could be absolutely 100% correct in what I'm saying but I don't say a loving thing (and am advised not to by our counsel) because I could get sued for defamation and while I may beat the case I'll still be on the hook for showing up to depositions, court cases etc and I absolutely do not want that. When in doubt even if you know for a fact that the person did whatever it was, it's always better to keep your mouth shut, especially with people you don't know very well who might like that person.

AITA for telling some people looking for a coworker why he was fired?

You shouldn't tell random people why a coworker was fired, it's private information. This guy shouldn't even know about it. Only the fired guy, HR, management, and the person he assaulted should be privy to that information.

Like what if the girls he is telling this guy was fired for assaulting coworker X were actually friends with the guy, had heard the story already from his side and already sided with him, now they might be harassing coworker X for "getting their friend fired". It's none of their business.

Also saying "people in our company committed assault and theft" is a tremendously stupid thing to tell your customers. You just say "Oh they are no longer with the company."

It comes down to there not being any upside to over-sharing here. There is no downside to saying "sorry, he doesn't work here anymore" and any added information will only raise questions down the line.

For some reason I read it as her telling co-workers the guy got fired which, depends on the co-workers I guess, but if they were clients/customers then lol at anything other than “oh he isn’t with us any more”

AITA for raising my voice and saying my husband's nephew was being unthinking and selfish?

quote:

My husband (26M) and I watch his nephew Seth (10) one weekend a month while my husband's sister Anna (30F) works extra or takes a weekend to herself. She's a single mom, so the family tries to help her when possible. My husband and I agree that both Seth and Anna are very self-centered. When we can, we try to help Seth learn to see other's perspectives and break out of his self-centered-ness, while acknowledging that he is 10 and this can be a challenge for a child. We had him an extra day yesterday because we were both off work and he was out of school.

We limit the beverages Seth has at our apartment. If he wants something to drink that's not a cup of water, one of us has to get it for him. This is because we've caught him guzzling multiple sodas in a matter of minutes after telling him he can have one, or he'll drink our chocolate milk from the carton, etc. He can't control himself with sugary beverages.

We had just finished eating lunch and Seth asked if he could have a cup of milk. My husband said he would get him one in a few minutes. Unfortunately, my husband ended up blacking out and had a short convulsive episode This happens occasionally, so I tried to keep myself together to get him on his side, time it, etc. I was also trying to tell Seth to leave the room until it was over because it's distressing to see, but Seth stayed in the room. Thankfully, my husband woke up right after the episode subsided. He was alert but said he wanted to lie on the floor for a while. As I was getting him a pillow, Seth asked my husband, "Well, can you get my milk first?"

My husband didn't respond to him, but I did. I pulled him into the kitchen (where I could still keep an eye on hubby) and told him he was being "unthinking and selfish." I will admit my voice was raised, in part due to the stress of the moment leaving my body but also, admittedly, out of anger at Seth. I permitted him to get his own milk for the moment because I thought I would lose my cool if he asked again.

Anna apparently heard of this after Seth went back home. She has been going back and forth with me and my husband through text (and one very angry voicemail) saying how dare I scream at her son (which I did not do) and how it was our fault for having "stupid rules" for him. My in-laws are trying to play referee but they want me to apologize to Anna because "it would make things easier for everyone if she wasn't angry." I said it would be easier for everyone if Seth (and Anna) were taught to be a little less selfish. She hasn't shown any interest in how her brother is doing.

AITA?

AITA for not washing my hands after peeing?

quote:

I recently started working in a firm and share an open-plan office with multiple colleagues. The toilets are directly adjacent to the office. The situation is as follows: I always wash my hands after taking a dump, but when I am peeing, I am often too lazy. A colleague of mine who sits close to the toilet apparently noticed this because of the missing water sounds. She confronted me and made clear that she wants me to wash my hands after going to the bathroom because of hygiene reasons. In this moment, I felt a little bit like she invaded my privacy and answered with a subtly irritated "ok" . I would argue that people do "nasty" stuff with their hands all the time, such as picking their nose, and I would never expect everyone to always keep their hands in a clean condition. Furthermore, we do not really share any objects around the office (except door knobs maybe). Everyone has their own stuff. However, maybe I am also thinking too one-sided and neglecting the well-being of my colleagues. Therefore, I would like to ask you : AITA in this situation?

You don't wash your hands because your hand is contaminated from having unzipped your pants and pointing your dick at the urinal. You wash your hands after the bathroom because you are supposed to be washing your hands because your hand is contaminated from literally everything throughout the day all the time and that's a good time to do it.

The correct answer here was to simply lie and imply your co-worker is a weirdo for pretending to know what you do in the bathroom (even though they're 100% in the right), and then start washing your drat hands so you never get caught again

In my experience, those people absolutely exist and get very mad about people who don't drink and don't have a 'good enough' reason not to.

I just assume they're mostly alcoholics in denial.

Coming from the brewing industry and having worked both with and for these types of people, you're 100% correct. Alcoholism is probably the biggest elephant in the room when it comes to the brewing industry, and the biggest drunks are frequently the ones who get the most belligerent about wanting you to drink with them. I have a number of friends who are sober for various reasons, some of whom are former industry who realized that neither brewing nor alcohol were healthy for them, and I try to be very proactive about honoring and respecting their needs. I feel like it's my responsibility as somebody who works with alcohol for a living to respect and support people who don't drink.
