Found between him and his coworker, AIO

I don’t have proof of them actually doing anything. He had said that there was a cute cashier at work but he wasn’t into her. I asked to see their texts and he said there was nothing, showed me a message thread with her last text only. Because he deleted everything else and it was in his recently deleted. So I opened it in front of him and he tried to stop me and I just read all of it and now he thinks im going to leave him. He’s talked this way about other girls at work so who knows if he’s done anything with them… my heart hurts so bad. Is this cheating? Am I overreacting by being so hurt? I would never do this to him. He claims it’s because he wanted to be nice and not reject her in a rude way. Im thinking about leaving but just the day before I found this he was telling me he wants to get married and have kids with me. We have been together 4 years

Reddit consensus: NOT OVERREACTING (NOR) (99% confidence)

Top comment: “NOR. He’s not shutting it down. He likes the attention and feeling desired. He’s giving in and she’s reciprocating. Or vice versa. She doesn’t seem to mind encroaching on an existing relationship and he doesn’t seem to mind skirting around the boundaries of your relationship.”

Notable explanation: “NOR. I used to be this kind of person. I had bad self-esteem and lives for the flirt and attention. Sometimes I cheated (mostly in my teens tho) more often I didn't. But I liked to leave options open, for the future.

So I know what I'm talking about when I say: you have to dump his ass 😬✊🏻

You know why this used to be me? Because I found someone SO worth it that I would never do anything to disrespect them or hurt them. It doesn't matter what my intentions are, I know this kind of actions would hurt him, hence I'm a "Sorry, not interested" end of discussion person now. And I'm not thinking about the future options, because my person is my future.

So your BF of 4 years (4 years!!) having this conversation tells me he doesn't care about your feelings nor does he see you as "the future". (- Call me when you're single - I WILL🙄 excuse me???). I won't say he doesn't love you, maybe he does, but he doesn't respect you enough and it's definitely not committed to you. After 4 years this won't get better, only worse.

To the trash with him, this isn't IT. You deserve better!”

Had a weird interaction yesterday where I was scoring stuff (getting a fold ready to run through the folder) and this coworker comes up and asks if I asked the boss about it. I mean we're given a pile of stuff to do and we just do it unless special instruction notes are put on it so I thought maybe they skipped it at first so I gave her a weird look like "Should I have?" Eventually after me being confused she clarifies that another employee said "I think he's scoring stuff without getting it approved." So, if I made a sample then got it approved before doing the whole batch and I was like "No, im still in the process."

I was weirded out because I already got a weird vibe from this other coworker and now she's tattling on me over something i didn't do. (Which I can tattle right back with the stuff she does under the table or the extended breaks she takes) but the coworker lays it on thicker and says "You're shy, aren't you?" Which is cringe to say to a grown adult but I just play the little game and say 'yes' to get her to leave but like- no wonder I'm shy, I'm scared I'm gonna get tattled on now and I have a history of other employees using me to get ahead, so no, I mind my own business, so mind yours too. I don't care if you're friends with the owner, a chump is a chump. 🤷‍♂️

AIO Coworker 22F uses offensive terms casually. Am I sensitive or is she insensitive?

I have this coworker who sees no problem using the word "r-tarded" and today she used the phrase "Indian giver." We're both women but she's white, I'm black, and I've had people in my youth call me r\*tarded when they thought I couldn't hear. I have a speech impediment and am pretty sure I'm autistic, so the R-slur is a tad upsetting for me. I'm older than she is, but don't have rank to scold her. Also, she's one of those toxic positivity Christian types so if I confront her, she MIGHT understand or she might try to gaslight me for being overly sensitive. Anyway, I just don't feel comfortable when she opens her mouth.

Reddit consensus: NOT OVERREACTING (NOR) (71% confidence)

Top comment: “as a special ed teacher, i say you are NOR. i would keep a record of when/what she says and bring it to HR.”

Notable comment: “Oh wow... I thought most of us had moved past a lot of this by now. When you know better, you do better. Right? RIGHT???!!??? I assumed this was limited to wherever you are, but all these comments? SMH

If you feel comfortable enough to address this, you could share the history of these terms and why they aren't used as openly as they used to be. NOR”

Do you agree with Reddit’s consensus?

Yes

No

I don't know

Remaining time: 3 days 4 hours

SO, it turns out the coworker can and will sleep on a pet bed, did not know that.

[dont-read-this-im-dead]

Student: what time is it?

Supervisor: 8:59

Student: can we do wake up now?

Supervisor: sure

Me: no, one more minute

Supervisor: *makes joke*

Me: one minute might not seem like a lot to you, but the majority of our students thrive on predictability, so a minute can be so much more to them. Also, I know waiting is hard, especially since you wake up so much earlier than everyone else, but some of the kids are still sleeping. Waking thwm up early to suit your schedule would be rude to them.

Supervisor: she has a point

Student: ohh...

Me: besides, it's 9 now, so you can go eat breakfast

Student: *makes a beeline for the dining room*
