EX-GF NO MONEY PAY FOR PET INSTALLMENT, HARASSING MAN

0

Okay so awhile back, I’d been dating a girl for 3 years and we decided to get a dog together. So she wanted to go look at a pet store and saw one she really liked (in hindsight I’d have much rather have adopted from a shelter and that’s my plan for the future).

So, we get the dog and it’s all in her name and we split the payment because we made the poor choice of getting him on credit.

At the time the plan was if we split she’d keep the dog. Fast forward she cheats on me and we break up, but she tells me to keep the dog and just has me send her money for his payments. I asked her for info so I could just set it all up to deduct from my account (her credit card payment also came out of my bank account and I asked her to take it off and she never did, also one of the payments already came out of my account but since she never took her credit card off the account I cancelled the account and had no way to add the payment account for the dog to my new bank account because she never sent me the info).

So, she had kept our old apartment we rented and was supposed to pay for it but ended up screwing me on it and making me have to pay for things because it’s affected me and my credit if I didn’t.

So after all that I stopped paying her for the dog and have blocked her on everything and now she’s reaching out to my family and friends trying to get them to ask me to pay her because it’s impacting her credit since all the loans are in her name.

Should I pay her back?

RUSSIAN ENVOY CRITICISES S’PORE FOR SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA

0

Nikolay Kudashev, the Russian Ambassador-designate to Singapore, criticized Singapore’s imposing of sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, calling it a “mistake”.

Speaking to South China Morning Post, Kudashev said that Singapore’s decision was a mistake and a wrong one, and that it runs counter to the development of bilateral ties and the strengthening of regional cooperation.

He noted that Singapore was the only country in Southeast Asia to impose sanctions on Moscow, and added that they would have preferred to concentrate on “issues of primary importance for the region other than issues or topics which are comparatively far from the agenda of Asia”.

The government of Singapore has said that it had to stand up for the same principles on our sovereignty and independence, imposing controls on exports on items that can cause harm in Ukraine.

Kudashev also said that Singapore’s addition to Russia’s list of “unfriendly countries” sees the political relationship between the two being specially monitored, with economic deals only being allowed under “very severe supervision” by Moscow.

He also dismissed the United Nations General Assembly resolution that was backed by 141 countries, including Singapore, that condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

He said that “more than 50% of the global population voted against it”, pointing to China and India abstaining from voting (the two countries are the two most populated countries in the world).

MAN SAY LOYALTY TO COMPANIES ARE FAKE, PROMOTED AFTER 9 YEARS GET $150 MORE

0

Last week, I was made an Assistant Manager in my profession after spending 9+ years with this company. Over the 9 years, I stayed on while many turned in their letters. I took over more work when there were no replacements. When the promotion eventually came, many sent their well wishes and congratulations, but little do they know that I only received a meagre $150 increment with this promotion.

Feeling absurd and angry at myself for staying loyal when many who have moved on and are already way ahead in terms of pay scale.

Here are what others think:

  • Actually all the work you have been doing for them in the past 9 years is AM job scope. Due to lack of people, they just decided to promote you to AM to keep you around, and anyhow entertain you by throwing you the extra $150 increment.Should know better about the company during your 9 golden years there whether they are the cheapskate ones or can really pay. Most importantly, $$$ > job titles these days. (if just compare the two)
  • That’s why when my company want to promote me to assistant manager. I told them I’m not ready knowingly the additional workload and stress that come with it. And the increment is also nothing to shout about. I’m happy to remain as a senior.
  • You got promoted, time to throw letters. You can put in your resume you’re a AM now. It weights higher
  • I worked for a the same for around 9 years. First few years was great as increment was reasonably good but bonus was normal. After the 3rd or 4th year, we all stopped receiving increment and bonus as boss said company not making money. I don’t know why but I kept staying. 2 years before I resigned, I got “promoted” to assistant manager without even knowing until HR told me but no increment, just a change of title on name card and HR issued a letter for my acknowledgmentNot trying to compare, just sharing
