I’ve been fired twice in 3 months.

Both cases involved eerily parallel situations.

Things are going very well for my first 3 months. Suddenly, we enter a new quarter and it’s a night and day difference.

After zero indication that there’s anything wrong, I get a letter highlighting things to work on. No mention that it’s a warning or PIP or anything. And it was, in each of the instances it happened, 4-5 items that were all very trivial (ie, had zero impact on the quality or timeliness of the work) or one-time things I did months prior that I never did again (usually a classic rookie mistake I made during onboarding when learning the ropes that previous mentors of mine told me were basic

I am struggling to hold a job. Everyone I know around me has had the same job since I’ve know them, but I’ve been through 4 jobs in 2 years including three in the last year alone.

My husband works from home and his office is within earshot of mine. He insists he never saw me do or say that was of the ordinary to a degree that it would even remotely warrant being fired. He could even tell that the quality of my work was good based on the conversations he heard me had. I had no reason to believe my ability to do my job was the issue.

I never got negative feedback about my behaviour, beyond the kind of trivial stuff that I see my coworkers do on a regular basis, like accidentally comment in

There seems to be a very unique experience when you know what’s going on but nobody else does…. And it’s devastating…. Is there anywhere to let off steam among people who “get it”?

Have you ever been pressured - overtly or covertly - to push out a remote employee following a radical RTO mandate?

The company recently amped up its RTO, increasing the number of required days and making it so that living outside of commutable distance from your team’s office no longer exempts you if you live near any other company office, even if nobody you work with works there. They have introduced very sophisticated ways of tracking location and are going to great lengths to enforce it, even among those those who were hired as remote workers.

Asking because two of my co workers, both of whom were hired as remote workers, received suspiciously bad performance evaluations soon after th

1. Re-appropriate holocaust language so that its associated with the Palestinians and not Jews —> people’s belief in the need for Israel’s existence to prevent another holocaust gets eroded

Examples: Israel is committing genocide, Gaza is a concentration camp

2. Historical revisionism to paint Palestinians as the real indigenous peoples of the region instead of colonizing Arabs —> nobody telling Jews to “go back to Palestine” or associating Jews with the region, erasure of the fact that Jews were the original “Palestinians”

Examples: Jesus was a Palestinian, the creation of the PLO and its associated “liberation campaign” in 1964 once colonialism stopped being cool and they needed anothe

Yesterday I screwed up a screw. It sounds funny, but it wasn’t. My whole life people have told me practice makes progress. (My mom always told me that messing up is embarrassing and that “maybe it’s just not for [me]” whenever I’d suck at something which prevented me from learning how to persevere at things that don’t come naturally until adulthood, but that’s a story for another day).

I got this planter set that let’s my succulents hang from in front of my window so I could keep more of them there without my cat getting into them.

I didn’t realize the thing required assembly when I bought it. Classic ADHD oversight, I didn’t think a little office decoration would require assembly but as

It’s really hard being a fitness noob.

I spent most of my life ignoring my physical fitness because It’s always felt like it’s 10x harder for me than it was for literally everyone else. People have told me that it could be due to lack of coordination as a result of my disability. I’m blind in one eye (completely lack depth perception) and don’t have peripheral vision and, growing up, it felt like everything kinesthetic was so much harder for me than it is for everyone else.

To this day I go to the gym and it feels like everyone has it so easy. People do dozens of pull-ups and push ups like it’s nothing and I can’t even do a single one. There must be intermediate steps to get there but nobo

I’m currently in therapy but for some reason this never really came up.

My husband just lost someone extremely close to him and my response to his grief only pushed him away. He just told me today that I made his worst nightmare even worse and that he never wants me around when he’s grieving ever again.

Some background: both of us have ADHD, but his was handled and, with the exception of a few quirks, he more or less grew out of it and no longer needs medication. Mine wasn’t properly dealt with until I was 28 (I only managed to find the right meds at 30 and even those are not ideal in how they work, also socialized medicine systems suck for ADHD more often than not - or at least they suc

When i go to "Manage Storage" it says I've used 138% of my storage limit. I deleted all my junk mail, all my onedrive (which is still shown to contain the majority of my storage), all my POP folder, and even emptied my recycle bin (both for my OneDrive and for my inbox), yet i'm not seeing any change in the amount of storage I have used up. It's as if I deleted nothing.

How do I fix this issue?
