So I’m a working part-timer that just got their results back and planning to quit. I told them I want to resign cause I don’t want to study and work at the same time, but the manager insist I continue working even I’m not willing to and that I can cut down my working hrs. ( I don’t think im going into a JC but ya)

She feels my reason to resign isn’t a good reason and tells me I should be able to commit more and this is never stated in the contract.

I really hate working here so I thought is a good chance to resign now but they reject me and are not going to approve my resignation, there is a week notice and I have planned my last working day but now I have to work another 2 more weeks.

I search online that is illegal to do so but the only way to resign is through the manager. Is there anywhere or someone I can contact to report, I can’t find any HQ number for the company.

Here is what netizens think:

• Resignation is not optional. Don’t show up for work and screen shot her rejection, make sure you get it in writing (email, text, etc). If she decides to go further, MOM would love to have a word with your employer.

• Also, if you think they might sue you, don’t worry their finance dept won’t approve the lawsuit budget and the legal dept will ROTFL at your manager.

• You dont need your employer’s approval to resign. Throw letter to make it official, and if they want to make noise its on them. Companies take advantage of employees not knowing their rights.

• Because employers try to guilt trip you into staying on if you’re not sure of your rights and have difficulty saying no so they won’t have to scramble to find a replacement

• Resignation is by an individual, stating their intention to terminate their employment with an employer. It cannot be rejected.

My mom got remarried to her current husband 14 years ago. He’s an okay man but my dad will always and forever be my number 1. When they announced to me that a baby was on the way I freaked out. Told them there and then that I don’t want to ever be involved in this kid’s life. I find it super weird that he’s 22 years my junior, I’m old enough to be his damn dad. Why did my mom even need to have another child at 42? That baby fever was strong apparently.

I found the entire thing disgusting to say the least.

The years go by and when my half-brother was around 10 years old he started saying how much he wanted to meet me. After a lot of nagging from my mother I said, whatever, F it, alright, I’m gonna do it. From our first encounter, he basically clinged onto me. For the past 3 years he has constantly tried to make me like and accept him but I just can’t do it. He’s a nice person and all but I still find my mom’s actions nasty so I involuntarily associate him with that. I can’t help it. I never wanted a sibling.

Yesterday, he was over at my place and kept on asking me to watch a movie with him, which I didn’t want to do. I ended up going off on him and told him that I don’t want to be his friend and actually want nothing to do with him at all.

He immediately started crying and apologizing to me, saying that he doesn’t have any friends and gets push around at school for his introverted nature and that he just doesn’t understand why I despise him so much.

He said that he’s so tired of feeling rejected all the time when all he does is be good to everyone. He said sorry one more time, told me that despite my huge hatred toward him he still loves, admires and respects me a lot, then he runs out of the house.

He hasn’t reached out to me ever since.

Here are what netizens think:

• you are taking your unresolved rage at your mother out on a literal child. Get therapy; figure your own shit out instead of burying a middle schooler in it.

• Dude you’re an adult. Act like it.

• You’re an adult. He’s a child. He doesn’t deserve to be treated like garbage because of how you feel about your parents’ divorce. I can’t even imagine how he must have felt this whole time, trying to be good enough for his older brother. Why even stay in contact with your mother if you were going to emotionally torture her child? Please strongly consider therapy.

A netizen shared a spine-tingling encounter that his grandparents had when they were younger, with a demon who was pretending to be a little girl in the woods.

Here is the story:

This story comes down from my grandparents who grew up in a small town in Malaysia. This is one among many encounters with the paranormal in their lives.

My grandparents come from a deeply religious family many decades ago and Angels and demons are a real part of everyone’s lives.

My grandmother was 9 months pregnant with my uncle when her water finally broke. It was the middle of the night.

Unfortunately for my grandparents, their house was on the other side of the town river. Where lighting was poor and the roads were dirt.

To get to the town center to catch a ride to the hospital, my grandparents needed to walk across a narrow, poorly lit bridge and up a large hill.

An uneasy trek even when you’re not getting ready to give birth.

As my grandparents reach the river, they can hear the flow of the water and the cool breeze. My grandfather tells my grandmother to stay strong and focused. This is no time to be caught off guard.

As they are about to walk across the bridge, my grandmother hears a cry. A little girl. Barefoot and sitting on a rock by the river.

“Help me” she says. She can’t be more than 5 years old.

The little girl is looking right at my grandmother. “Help me, I have a splinter in my foot.”

My grandmother immediately feels a sense of motherly duty come over her as the little girl tends to her foot. My grandmother becomes very concerned for this little girl sitting on a rock in the middle of the night.

She approaches the little girl who’s got tears streaming down her face. As she reaches closer, my grandfather leaps in between them. He takes out a talisman and holds it in front of the little girl.

To my grandmother’s amazement, the girl disappears immediately. My grandfather turns to her and says “you know better than this. You know the devil disguises itself as innocent and inviting as it can.”

My grandmother begins to sob and thank my grandfather as they continue their journey to the hospital.

Editor’s note: That was chilling…

I’m a woman and I’ve been single for a long time. I don’t want a causal fling. I want a long term relationship that hopefully turns into marriage one day.

I hate being lonely. I’m at the point of my life where I am ready to settle down. Going home to an empty home is very sad. Single life isn’t that fun.

People always say “focus on your friends” umm my friends are married or have kids or have their own lives and families to go home too.

My friends aren’t my family lol they are just my friends and at the end of the day they have their own family to go home to. Friends don’t typically put their friends before family, that sounds silly. I rather focus on family tbh

I’m sick of women on social media always telling me I’m not allowed to have love or I’m wrong wanting to get married and I should just enjoy being single forever.

Like no… ever thought that’s not what every woman wants? Why do you want me to fail? I feel like women just want to see other women be alone and miserable.

Men have never told me to be a ho and party forever and just to be alone forever, men have been completely respectful of my own individual choices.

However, it has always the women preaching this terrible advice to other women. I find it funny how no one ever tells men they are wrong for wanting to find a gf or wife.

Whenever a woman says she wants to be married then other women come out saying “omg girl nooo you don’t need a man for shit! Go find yourself” like lol what?!

Trust me I know who I am and I know what I want. Who are you to tell me what I want in MY life or what I want to do with MY life? Are you going to suggest I change my occupation too?? Why don’t you ever tell men to go find themselves?

If you ladies are ok with being forever alone with a bunch of cats honestly GOOD FOR YOU! But I’M NOT so respect that and stop trying to change me just because we are not the same.

Y’all ladies can hate me for saying this all you want but IDC…I WANT TO SHARE MY LIFE WITH SOMEONE! I WANT a man and I NEED a man. My goals to be a WIFE and a MOTHER

IM TAKING HUSBAND APPLICATIONS

Should I move out making ~1400 a month?

Hello. I am 18 years old and i’m starting my new job making ~1400 a month part time. I also have a second job on call but don’t want to include those in my income because they aren’t garenteed.

My friends are really wanting me to move in with them and rent will be around 500-700 a month including utilities. (we have always wanted to but never knew when)

I will have around 1500 when the time comes to officially move out. Is this a smart idea? I’m in school full time with no debt due to it being CC so i can pay it all and my family life isn’t bad at home but i really just wanna get out.

Also I can get another full-time temporary job when it’s the school holidays.

1. It’s not practical to spend 50% of your income on rent and utilities. You either need to find a cheaper housing situation or increase your income before taking on your own housing expense.
2. You’re writing here because you feel it sounds like something you want to do, but have a gut feeling it’s not the best move. Trust your gut and folks with some experience giving you the feedback you requested – it doesn’t make sense, at least at this time. Work hard on getting that degree and applying it. A few years of sacrifice but worth it. Then consider the apt with friends. Come back around for other tips (car, apt, savings, etc), many will be here with some good friendly advice.
3. No, it isn’t smart to spend 50% of income on room and utilities alone. Save that cash for a head start when the right time comes.
4. If you move out do you have the option of returning if something happens? One potential issue is having to rely on rommmates to pay their portion of the rent. What would happen if those roommates lose/quite their job?

I have recently been promoted, earning the wrath of the older employees who have there in the company ten more years than I .

They refuse to help me with a lot of information I needed. This particular old man – admin clerk – often only email me alone when he caused a delay, and yet cc a whole bunch of people when It was my oversight.

He has the trust of my boss as he had several lunches, annual retreats in my company over the yrs with my boss. The position I took over was a colleague very close to him before I joined in.

What to do ? He is sly, tells gossips about me to others during lunch and then deny when I confront him . Now, he keeps quiet whenever I am in. And then chats to others whenever I am not in. I have talked to him abit it and he tells “ dun be too sensitive “.

I don’t want to start a quarrel. I want to remain Positive and to rise above it and to maintain a smooth and professional work flow. But this is irritating me.

1. Cc the whole company when he makes the mistakes and only email you. Even for minor things you can cc everyone when you reply “it’s ok”
2. Be professional, but also be smart. Start to cc your boss in all communications with him so that it’s clear when he is uncooperative on work matters. Do not engage in revenge gossip and mudslinging which does nothing but perpetuate the toxic work environment. Do not speak to him for non work/task related matters.
   If things come to a head, have a frank chat with your boss stating the black and white evidence snowing how said colleague is highly uncooperative and making your job unduly difficult. If he refuses to address the issue, be prepared to quit.
3. Haha this one sipeh annoying to deal with. Especially when they r there for a very long time. Probably they have established long relationship with everyone else that’s there for a long time.. People will buy what they gossip rather than ur predicament.. U r wrong even if u r right.
   Bosses are likely to embolden them with inaction n even back them since they r ‘loyal’ n are there longer than u do. 1 or 2 is still manageable, but if they come in group… Hahaha best of luck, u have just entered the lion’s den, prepare to pack ur bags.
