2024.05.21 19:43 spiritual_dragonfly_ I’m confused about a job offer I got but didn’t take. They just mailed me a check and said I’m hired. What do I do?
Long story short I’ve been looking for a remote job and a place I applied to sent me a guy who is looking to hire an assistant to do work for him while they still keep their day job. It’s really good money ($1390 a week). He says he works with real estate investments and is always traveling so that’s why he needs an assistant.
I talked to him via email and asked when we could set up a time to talk on the phone. He briefly explained what I’d be doing (booking flights, running errands, scheduling, primary point of contact in his absence, etc.). And said he was busy and would be in touch. I said I was excited to learn more details. He asked for my number, current job, and address. Which, I provided as all of that is on the internet already. I did NOT give him my bank information.
His response was a a few more questions as far as availability during the week, how often I check emails, criminal records etc. He also mentioned I’d be handling pending bills, flights, etc.
I forgot to respond to this email. It was sent almost a week ago.
He just emailed me now saying a FedEx package was delivered to my house with a check of. X amount of money and to start looking up flights to Singapore for next week for him….
I have a weird feeling about it and I don’t know why he would send me money without official approval from me.
What should I do?

2024.05.21 09:58 1wishfulthinker Calling the Hotline- how was it?
Hello everyone! Almost 18 months PP and things seem to come and go in regards to the depression, rage and anxiety. I was medicated on lexapro and wellbutrin but now trying to make this work without meds if possible. Never any SI/HI… but some days suck and an unbiased outlet that’s not a regular therapy or personal contact would be great.
Has anyone ever called the 988 hotline and has some relief with it? I am a therapist myself so I have patients that use it but I’m obviously not present on the calls.
Does the call go on your medical record? For my patients it does (federal job) and then a coordinator follows up with them.
I don’t want an ongoing thing but would sometimes want to call to unload to take the weight off.
Thanks in advance and remember you’re never alone! We got this mamas!

2024.05.21 07:24 alice999307 Situational Q&A: NHI (National Health Insurance) and Medical Services-1
Situation 1: Michelle, an international student, will be studying in Hualien County to obtain her degree and hopes to gain a better understanding of the National Health Insurance.
Q1: How and when can I obtain the NHI (National Health Insurance) card? A1: NHI stands for National Health Insurance, which is necessary for all individuals living in Taiwan. Of course, the process of obtaining NHI depends on your residency status as a foreigner living in Taiwan. Let's break down how and when you can get NHI!
Foreign Students If you've come to Taiwan to study at a university, getting NHI is quite straightforward. It's important to remember that foreigners can obtain NHI only after living continuously in Taiwan for six months on an ARC (Alien Resident Certificate), but you are allowed to leave the country once for up to 30 days during this 6-month period. After these six months, your university will collect insurance fees for each semester upon registration. As a student, you'll only need to pay the insurance fee, which is 826 NTD as of 2024, and then wait for notification from the university that your card is ready for collection. Insurance fees are collected from September to February in the first semester and from March to August in the second semester.
International students can be employed part-time in Taiwan. In this case, students with a steady part-time job should be registered in the program as employees through their employers. Don't forget to inform your university about this. The university will reimburse you a portion of the insurance fee you've already paid.
If you are seasonally employed, meaning you are a full-time student who only works during summer and winter vacations for fewer than 3 months and returns to school when classes resume, you do not need to change your enrollment status during the period of employment.
Foreign Workers A foreign worker must be registered in the National Health Insurance Program from the first day of employment. Therefore, those working in Taiwan are not subject to the six-month waiting period. Your employer should register you and be responsible for paying your insurance (formerly known as the "insurance registration organization").
If you're a company chairperson or owner, you need to set up your own insurance registration unit. If you have another primary job, you can be insured through that company or agency without enrolling as a responsible person.
If you're employed but don't have a fixed employer, like being a member of an occupational union, a farmers' or fishermen's association, or are actively involved in farming or fishing, you should enroll in the National Health Insurance through your respective union or association.
If you are working two jobs at the same time, then you should be registered in the NHI program through your main employer. Your main employer is the one where you work more hours; if the hours are similar, then income can be the deciding factor.
Unemployed foreigners If you are unemployed and qualify as a dependent, you should be registered in the NHI program through your employed spouse or direct blood relatives.
If you cannot be enrolled through your spouse or direct blood relatives, you are required to enroll in the program at the local administrative office where your household is registered, under the identity of a "regional citizen."
If you are an unemployed veteran or a dependent of a deceased veteran, then you can enroll in the program through the administrative office where your household is registered under the identity of "veteran."
For more information, please feel free to ask or refer to the NHI handbook (click the specific link below).
Q2: What medical services are covered by the NHI? A2: The National Health Insurance (NHI) in Taiwan covers a wide range of medical services, such as: Outpatient services Inpatient services Emergency care Surgery Laboratory tests Prescription drugs Dental care Mental health services Traditional Chinese Medicine Rehabilitation services The medical payments include diagnosis, assessment, laboratory tests, consultations, surgical procedures, anesthesia, prescriptions, supplies, therapies, nursing care, and covered hospital accommodations. Essentially, all essential healthcare services are included in the system.
Q3: How can I understand the cost of services under NHI in advance? A3: Under Taiwan's National Health Insurance (NHI), patients are required to make co-payments for medical services, including hospital visits, outpatient care, prescription drugs, and various medical procedures.
Let's see a breakdown of typical co-payments for various medical services under NHI! Visiting a hospital or clinic with a referral: Co-payment for Medical Center with referral is fixed at 170 NTD. For Regional Hospital it is 100 NTD. For District Hospital it is 50 NTD. And for Clinic it is 50 NTD. Visiting a hospital directly without a referral costs more: Co-payment for Medical Center without referral is fixed at 420 NTD. For Regional Hospital it is 240 NTD. For District Hospital it is 80 NTD. And for Clinic co-payment remains fixed at 50 NTD. For visiting dentist and traditional Chinese clinics, the co-payment is fixed at 50 NTD regardless of the level of medical institution.
Important to know For patients with a disability identification, the basic co-payment is charged at the Clinic rate (NT$50) regardless of the level of medical institution visited by the patient.
The following situations are regarded as visits with referral: Follow-up visits within one month of a medical visit with a referral sheet, limited to a maximum of four times. The first follow-up visit after outpatient surgery, emergency surgery, or discharge from the hospital. The first follow-up visit within six weeks after childbirth. Therefore, the co-payment for such visits is charged according to the standards of medical visits with referral, and hospitals may issue relevant certificates for patients. During a course of treatment, patients only need to pay the co-payment for their initial visit (excluding rehabilitative physical therapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine traumatology).
Emergency Care Co-payment Standard: Medical Center: 740 NTD Regional Hospital: 400 NTD District Hospital: 150 NTD Clinic: 150 NTD Near-poor Households/Individuals with Disabilities: Medical Center: 550 NTD Regional Hospital: 300 NTD District Hospital: 150 NTD Clinic: 150 NTD
Co-payment cost for outpatient prescribed drugs
Regular prescriptions: If the cost of the medication is equal to or less than 100 NTD: In Clinics and District Hospitals: Patients are exempt from co-payment (no co-payment). In Regional Hospitals and Medical Centers: The co-payment is 10 NTD. If the cost of the medication is equal to or greater than 101 NTD:
In all levels of medical institutions, an additional 20% will be charged for every 100 NTD. For example, if the price of medication is in the 101-200 NTD range, then the co-payment is 20 NTD; if in the 201-300 NTD range, then the co-payment is 40 NTD. In Clinics and District Hospitals: If the medication cost starts from 1001 NTD, the upper limit for co-payment is reached, and the co-payment is fixed at 200 NTD. In Regional Hospitals and Medical Centers: If the medication cost is in the range from 1001-1500 NTD, the co-payment is fixed at 200 NTD.If the medication cost starts from 1501 NTD, the upper limit of co-payment is reached at 300 NTD.
Refillable prescriptions: In Clinics: Patients are exempted from the co-payment. In District Hospitals, Regional Hospitals, and Medical Centers: The first time filling a refillable prescription follows the same rules as outlined above for regular prescriptions. From the second refill onwards, patients are exempted from the co-payment.
Important to know For Traditional Chinese medication co-payment, the same system as that of Clinics is used. Costs under 100 NTD are exempt; for costs equal to or greater than 101 NTD, an additional 20% will be charged for every 100 NTD. At Dental Clinics, outpatient prescription drug expenses are exempted from co-payment. Emergency Care Prescription: For Clinics and District Hospitals: 150 NTD For Regional Hospitals: 400 NTD. For Medical Centers: 750 NTD. I hope now you have a better understanding of how to calculate the cost of medical services under NHI. Feel free to ask more questions or refer to this webpage (click the specific link below).
Q4: What services are completely free under NHI? A4: With NHI, you can access a wide range of medical services at very affordable prices, and some services are fully covered! However, it's always a good idea to ask your doctor or a consultant at the hospital/clinic about which services will be covered.
Let's break down what kind of services can be fully covered under NHI: Basic Medical Examinations: These are routine tests to check your health, like measuring blood pressure, checking cholesterol levels, and assessing kidney function through urine tests. Preventive Services like Vaccinations and Screenings: This includes vaccines to protect against diseases like measles, mumps, and rubella, as well as screenings for diseases like cancer or diabetes. These screenings aim to catch health problems early for easier treatment. Essential Surgeries: These surgeries are necessary to treat a medical condition and improve health or save lives. For example, removing an appendix, fixing a broken bone, or treating a serious infection. Hospital Stays in General Rooms: This means staying in a hospital room shared with other patients (one room with 3 beds or more) and having basic facilities. General rooms provide standard care for conditions that don't require intensive monitoring or specialized equipment. Some Prescription Medications: Certain medicines prescribed by doctors are fully covered by NHI, so patients can get them from the pharmacy without paying anything. These often include essential medications for common conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and infections. Medications with a cost below 100 NTD will be fully covered or will require a 10 NTD co-payment. Dental care: Most medications prescribed by dentists are fully covered by the National Health Insurance (NHI). However, it's important to note that full-mouth anesthesia is not covered. Also, you have the right to receive two dental cleanings per year fully covered, allowing the general public to get dental calculus removal. People with tooth decay may be eligible, depending on a dentist's evaluation, for fluoride varnish treatment. As long as the cavity does not reach the pulp (where the tooth's nerves and blood vessels are located), it can be fully covered by the National Health Insurance (NHI). Generally, the National Health Insurance (NHI) will cover the extraction of wisdom teeth, supernumerary teeth, and impacted teeth. However, extractions for corrective purposes (teeth that are intact and without decay problems) will not be covered by NHI.
Medical expenses in Taiwan are relatively inexpensive, so don't worry about spending a lot of money when seeing a doctor. Therefore, don't be afraid to go to the hospital.
Q5: In which hospitals can I utilize NHI services, specifically at Hualien hospitals? A5: Here is the list of hospitals in Hualien in Chinese (the English version will be posted and updated later). But if we talk about the most popular hospitals in Hualien where you can definitely get assistance in English, then we can list these hospitals: Mennonite Christian Hospital Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital Hualien Hospital Smiles-Dental
Q6: Is it possible to receive NHI consultation in English? A6: Yes! It is possible to receive NHI consultation in English! The back of the NHI card has a hotline number for inquiries: 0800-030-598, or by mobile phone call 02-412-8678. Calling the number is free of charge.

2024.05.21 07:04 Ok-Pianist-9729 Am I wrong for needing to go to the ER
(F20) I will try my best to keep this as short and to the point. My mom got sick a couple of weeks ago and I got sick starting 3 days ago after visiting a relatives house.
I have been struggling to breathe, gasping for air, walking even 2 steps winds me and I have to recover, coughing up mucus, throwing up, nausea, not eating, chest pain, back pain, cough, diarrhea, throat pain, headache, stomach pain, everything but a fever (as far as I'm aware. I didn't keep checking)
On Saturday I woke up literally gasping for air with 8/10 chest pain. I went to the ER and got 2 antibiotics. Had tests done and came back with pneumonia. I went home. Continued to struggle while waiting for antibiotics to kick in and I kept taking a bunch of meds my mom suggested (sudafed, mucinex, ibuprofen, Tylenol, vaporub etc) but nothing helped and she wouldn't really believe me.
I kept struggling and groaning in pain and while walking so much that my dad kept yelling at me to shut up about it and told me to get out, cussing me out and then he called out of work and told my mom he's not going to work because of me. Then I started feeling really sorry.
On Monday its been 3 days of taking antibiotics and I am still gasping for breath. I called my PCP’s Nurse hotline and she basically was threatening (not really but just very concerned) to call me an ambulance but I know that would make my mom very angry.
The nurse had me straight up give my phone to my mom to try to convince her to take me to the hospital but my mom was not having it. I'm aware and sympathetic that she is feeling sick as well, but at least she was breathing and able to sleep. I was constantly gasping for air, but since I could get out sentences sometimes she did not believe me. I eventually stopped being able to get out sentences. I seriously don't know how to get anyone to take me seriously.
She took me to the hospital very mad and frustrated and it showed and I felt more sorry and I just kept apologizing. She said that she will quit her job and that she should just quit. She started screaming and stomping. (F50) (she has PTO, I don't, so I will not be getting anything) (she also submitted my medical papers for her to miss work)
I kept telling her she doesn't have to take me and I will find someone else but she insisted but continued to keep blowing up on me.
I go and wait for about 4 hours then I come back with asthma and bronchitis with the pneumonia. I didn't know I had asthma prior. They sent me 6 medications to take.
I can now breathe currently after respiratory therapy. I'm still nauseous and in pain though.
We got home and I apologized to her, then she started yelling at me and then I cried (I always cry because I'm weak and sensitive) and then she says I need to go to a crisis center, get help, get back on my medication (I got off of it because it was messing up my body. Now I'm only just in therapy) and that my depression is ruining her mental health. I continued to cry and I called my sister then my sister told me how she's tired of hearing from us (my parents get drunk every night and they got drunk a couple nights ago and had a nasty fight and I was also targeted because my mom overheard me crying in my room because they were fighting long story)
My sister says she understands how my mom feels.
My mom denies anything that I say that she has ever said or done, even if they said or done that thing 3 seconds before. She blacks out and scares me.
I don't know how else I was supposed to get to the hospital besides calling an ambulance because she would be mad then. But I couldn't call anyone else for help (I don't have anyone) and the nurse wouldn't send me a ride because my condition was too severe I guess.
She only takes about herself and how I affect her and I feel like garbage for it.
She didn't stay with me or anything, just dropped me off and picked me up. There isn't an ER in my network that is nearby in walking distance.

She started screaming and stomping. (F50) (she has PTO, I don't, so I will not be getting anything) (she also submitted my medical papers for her to miss work)
I kept telling her she doesn't have to take me and I will find someone else but she insisted but continued to keep blowing up on me.
I go and wait for about 4 hours then I come back with asthma and bronchitis with the pneumonia. I didn't know I had asthma prior. They sent me 6 medications to take.
I can now breathe currently after respiratory therapy. I'm still nauseous and in pain though.
We got home and I apologized to her, then she started yelling at me and then I cried (I always cry because I'm weak and sensitive) and then she says I need to go to a crisis center, get help, get back on my medication (I got off of it because it was messing up my body. Now I'm only just in therapy) and that my depression is ruining her mental health. I continued to cry and I called my sister then my sister told me how she's tired of hearing from us (my parents get drunk every night and they got drunk a couple nights ago and had a nasty fight and I was also targeted because my mom overheard me crying in my room because they were fighting long story)
My sister says she understands how my mom feels.
My mom denies anything that I say that she has ever said or done, even if they said or done that thing 3 seconds before. She blacks out and scares me.
I don't know how else I was supposed to get to the hospital besides calling an ambulance because she would be mad then. But I couldn't call anyone else for help (I don't have anyone) and the nurse wouldn't send me a ride because my condition was too severe I guess.
She only takes about herself and how I affect her and I feel like garbage for it.
She didn't stay with me or anything, just dropped me off and picked me up. There isn't an ER in my network that is nearby in walking distance.
2024.05.21 07:03 Ok-Pianist-9729 Am I wrong for needing a ride to the ER
(F20) I will try my best to keep this as short and to the point. My mom got sick a couple of weeks ago and I got sick starting 3 days ago after visiting a relatives house.
I have been struggling to breathe, gasping for air, walking even 2 steps winds me and I have to recover, coughing up mucus, throwing up, nausea, not eating, chest pain, back pain, cough, diarrhea, throat pain, headache, stomach pain, everything but a fever (as far as I'm aware. I didn't keep checking)
On Saturday I woke up literally gasping for air with 8/10 chest pain. I went to the ER and got 2 antibiotics. Had tests done and came back with pneumonia. I went home. Continued to struggle while waiting for antibiotics to kick in and I kept taking a bunch of meds my mom suggested (sudafed, mucinex, ibuprofen, Tylenol, vaporub etc) but nothing helped and she wouldn't really believe me.
I kept struggling and groaning in pain and while walking so much that my dad kept yelling at me to shut up about it and told me to get out, cussing me out and then he called out of work and told my mom he's not going to work because of me. Then I started feeling really sorry.
On Monday its been 3 days of taking antibiotics and I am still gasping for breath. I called my PCP’s Nurse hotline and she basically was threatening (not really but just very concerned) to call me an ambulance but I know that would make my mom very angry.
The nurse had me straight up give my phone to my mom to try to convince her to take me to the hospital but my mom was not having it. I'm aware and sympathetic that she is feeling sick as well, but at least she was breathing and able to sleep. I was constantly gasping for air, but since I could get out sentences sometimes she did not believe me. I eventually stopped being able to get out sentences. I seriously don't know how to get anyone to take me seriously.

2024.05.21 04:35 Thick_Hamster3002 Medicated Psychosis
TDLR: Friend is schizoaffective and is stuck in a psychosis. I feel guilty because I'm getting frustrated and annoyed.
My best friend of over 10 years lives with Schizoaffective Disorder. When I met her she was not well and together we sought her help. Throughout the years she got so much better but also got so much worse. What I mean is she was able to actually get stable and obtain a Driver's license and a full time job, this was something that took many years.
But unfortunately, during her bad times she's become 10x more delusional and believes the delusions fully. She's medicated and tells me she's been taking her meds. She believes people are currently controlling her mind, she believes all of Dallas is in her cell phone and are remotely viewing it, and she is at a point where when she calls me she cannot complete her sentences because she says she's being threatened if she tells me.
I think this is scary for her and absolutely horrible. I'm bipolar with psychotic features and I've been delusional, I've had audible hallucinations, and I've visual hallucinations. All that scared the shit out of me and I haven't been the same but this girl actively goes through this multiple times a year. I've offered the Crisis Hotline, I've offered to take her to a hospital, I've showed and encouraged her to use grounding techniques when possible. This time it's gotten really bad and she can't seem to break out of it. She won't tell her doctor what is going on so they cannot fix her medication or help her.
I'm feel guilty. So guilty because I'm getting annoyed and frustrated at the constant calls and repetitive things she is saying. She's telling me that I'm in danger and that I must do all of these things that a normal person should not be doing. I know she is going through something, not taking my advice on literally anything is making me upset. Again, I get that she does not feel safe and people can react in a way that isn't ordinary but this has been going on for 5-6 months at best.
As of last week or so she lost her job because she thought people at her work were conspiring against her and infiltrating her brain. She cannot drive, I don't trust her to, and she is just in her head.
What the hell do I do? I'm exhausted because I'm her main person. She doesn't have family that understands mental health. She has pushed away any of her other real friends.

2024.05.21 03:54 cacille Suicide posts....
First I just need to say thank you for all the reports on the many, MANY suicide posts that have come through lately. I've had so many "2: Someone is considering suicide or serious self-harm" reports come through my feed in the last few days/week.
I want you to know exactly what happens when I get those reports....and you're not going to like this. Please read every word of this LONG post! TL:DR at the bottom.
I ignore them. As in press the Ignore button.
WHY?
Two reasons. 1. People are hurting here and I've allowed those posts because this group has always been open to anyone with any issue within the "finding a path" idea. 2. I'm not a therapist nor a superhero. I cannot go fly in to save them from their own mental health, swoosh their life to better, and leave them feeling all the sunshine and rainbows!
However, if the post is definitely an "announcing my suicide with no wish to find a path out of it"....I report the name to Reddit to step in, as there is a new partnership with the Crisis Hotline. Do I do this with every single post that mentions suicide at the end but otherwise states their issues and wants help out of it in some way? Nope. They are allowed to be that low. Without being reported to the Crisis Hotline for it.
There's nothing else I can do for the person professionally. There's nothing more WE can do more for them. We're here to help people find a path, or even a way out of their pain, and as long as we are leaving supportive, helpful, kind, and actionable comments....that's all we can do. We are nothing more than pointers, we are not therapists or situation-changers for people, but what we are doing is decently life-changing for an online forum and hopefully a bit of life-saving.
Some people are simply too low to help and our job can only be to point them to the extreme therapy they need, via resources and links if possible.
These posts are depressing though! Yes, they are, and I too can only handle so much of them. After clearing the feed, I basically can do 2 posts of helping/actionable comments a day!
And the easy path is me just making a rule that says a nasty quip like "this isn't an airport, you don't need to announce your suicide" and set Automoderator to remove all posts that say the words we no longer want to hear. Removing all the not fully serious ones too, because I can't code Automod with AI ability. Cementing to people that they are not welcome and should go through with the act, convincing people that they can't even get help when they reach out as a last ditch attempt.
Is that who we are? Should we truly go that way? Should we niche down (bubble) to become exactly like careerchange? Cast out those in the most need, because we don't like seeing the negativity?
If they can't come to this group for hope....then where should they go?
Your ideas on this are very welcome.
Your mental health is important too.
If you contribute a lot to this group, you are completely allowed to burn out, especially if you give in this group a lot (and I love you for it!) You are absolutely welcome to take a break. There's a lot of people in need, and I'm hoping with tweaks to this group (and an upcoming plan I'm working on behind the scenes), we can offer even more actionable support, without feeling drained at the end of the day.
That said, I am open to ideas about select, little known helpful resources and how to position them in this group for best effect. Group Wiki? Does anyone actually read those? I'm only allowed 2 pinned posts at any one time so I'm not sure that's the best thing to use. I'm open to a new Rule that is actually just a link but what the link would go to, how to organize such a resource list....etc.
To sum up (and TL:DR) That report to me has been somewhat useless in this group (except for the new Crisis Hotline partnership Reddit has, and yes the extreme ones I definitely send over to them!) I'd like people to only report to us when it's a more extreme "suicide announcement". Those who are on the lighter side, more just lost in the weeds, please use your energy to give them ideas and paths out instead. Community involvement welcome on what I'm saying (read the whole thing first then). I get the posts are tough, take care of your mental health and don't give more than you have per day. Open to resource-positioning ideas.

I want you to know exactly what happens when I get those reports....and you're not going to like this. Please read every word of this LONG post! TL:DR at the bottom.
I ignore them. As in press the Ignore button.
WHY?
Two reasons. 1. People are hurting here and I've allowed those posts because this group has always been open to anyone with any issue within the "finding a path" idea. 2. I'm not a therapist nor a superhero. I cannot go fly in to save them from their own mental health, swoosh their life to better, and leave them feeling all the sunshine and rainbows!
However, if the post is definitely an "announcing my suicide with no wish to find a path out of it"....I report the name to Reddit to step in, as there is a new partnership with the Crisis Hotline. Do I do this with every single post that mentions suicide at the end but otherwise states their issues and wants help out of it in some way? Nope. They are allowed to be that low. Without being reported to the Crisis Hotline for it.
There's nothing else I can do for the person professionally. There's nothing more WE can do more for them. We're here to help people find a path, or even a way out of their pain, and as long as we are leaving supportive, helpful, kind, and actionable comments....that's all we can do. We are nothing more than pointers, we are not therapists or situation-changers for people, but what we are doing is decently life-changing for an online forum and hopefully a bit of life-saving.
Some people are simply too low to help and our job can only be to point them to the extreme therapy they need, via resources and links if possible.
These posts are depressing though! Yes, they are, and I too can only handle so much of them. After clearing the feed, I basically can do 2 posts of helping/actionable comments a day!
And the easy path is me just making a rule that says a nasty quip like "this isn't an airport, you don't need to announce your suicide" and set Automoderator to remove all posts that say the words we no longer want to hear. Removing all the not fully serious ones too, because I can't code Automod with AI ability. Cementing to people that they are not welcome and should go through with the act, convincing people that they can't even get help when they reach out as a last ditch attempt.
Is that who we are? Should we truly go that way? Should we niche down (bubble) to become exactly like careerchange? Cast out those in the most need, because we don't like seeing the negativity?
If they can't come to this group for hope....then where should they go?
Your ideas on this are very welcome.

2024.05.21 02:18 Temporary-Height-754 HR Coordinator struggling
Hello! I'm currently working as an HR Coordinator for a fairly large company in PA. As I reflect on my role, I find myself with some questions and concerns that I believe many other HR Coordinators might relate to. I'm also curious to know if my experiences align with what's considered typical for this role. After reading job descriptions from other companies, I can't help but feel that my responsibilities are quite different. Can anyone offer some insights or share their own experiences? Here's a snapshot of what I handle on a weekly/daily/monthly basis:
submitted by Temporary-Height-754 to humanresources [link] [comments]
- New Hire Badge Management: Every Monday, I print and mail ALL new hire badges for our nearly 5,000 employees. This involves adding new hires to the badge system, collecting headshots from branch Admins, loading headshots into the system, adding them to our HRIS, creating FedEx labels, and mailing out badges by Wednesday. I'm the sole person with access to the badge printer and necessary software/materials.
- Retention Tracking: I meticulously track retention company-wide by analyzing exit interviews and identifying patterns that need attention from upper management. This involves reading numerous exit interviews, analyzing documented conversations, write-ups, final warnings, etc., to identify branches with the most significant issues and track trends.
- Turnover Reporting: Monthly and quarterly, I report turnover percentages for all branches to higher-ups. This data is crucial for determining eligibility for management team bonuses.
- Exit Interviews: I conduct exit interviews when requested.
- Project Support: I assist with various projects assigned by our HRVP, CHRO, legal team, or General Counsel.
- Training Eligibility: I help determine which employees are eligible for certain trainings by ensuring they are in "good standing" with the company.
- PTO Tracking: I manage PTO for both salaried and hourly employees, ensuring accurate tracking and addressing any discrepancies.
2024.05.20 22:41 sullenfcker Finding help is difficult...
I need to get out of my living situation, I need like two months to find a proper full time job (right now my work is unstable), and get out of debt. I feel overwhelmed by everything. I also don't have my own car and I need to be able to get to places.
I feel like a failure. The pain has been overwhelming and suicide just seems like the best option. I'm trying to seek help but I can't afford therapy. Hotlines and chats usually put me on hold or they're not a real therapist.

2024.05.20 19:36 thismanyquestions Seeking retaliation advice from experienced members
In a nutshell, my workplace has gotten unbearable. My peers regularly work 50-55 hour weeks, sometimes weekends just to survive the expectation of our assigned "40 hour" subtasks and stories. There is a clear misalignment but anyways, I am only putting in 40 hours.
Leadership is now tracking 'deliverables' and 'performance' and it's clear as day when someone who is working 40 is outputting less than someone working 60. I'm being threatened that if I do not keep up, when layoffs or reductions come then whoever is at the bottom gets cut, verbatim from my management.
I am salaried. Do I have any recourse? Of course before anyone suggests another job I'm already on it but that takes several months and I need a guideline to survive until then. Is it HR? Call insider hotline? What do I do or how can I navigate this? Thank you.

2024.05.20 15:56 Mugiwara_Khakis The worst part of working the morning shift.
I’m the site supervisor so I have to be on site at seven to open the place up and I stay here until three. It’s a great gig! I get to go home early and do whatever I want, I live so close to the job site that I can stay up until midnight or a bit later and have a blast…
But the absolute worst part of this shift??? I can sit at my desk for hours without a single soul needing let in or anything happening… but the literal MILLISECOND I sit down in the bathroom and start taking a dump suddenly it’s time for everything in the world to run! I can hear my buzzer going off from UPS, FedEX and the mail, an employee of the client’s went out for a smoke or lunch and forgot their badge to get back in. Or they’re just showing up for work and forgot it, or the food service guy is at the dock door calling my phone to let him in.
It’s a timeless tale and I kid you not it happens every single time. I just missed the UPS guy because I couldn’t get out in time to let him in for our pickup (I don’t think he was even at the door for a full minute.). All in all I can’t complain about the job, I love it dearly, but man does the world like to punish me for having to shit.

2024.05.20 06:26 Far_Statistician_974 Break up help please
I'm having the worst time of my life.
About a month ago my gf of 5 years left me over text out of the blue. She said she was done and wasn't coming back. I was even blocked and completely shut out without a chance to plead. She was very aware of my childhood trauma and still chose this method because she says I make her unhappy and it's how she needed to do this. I respect her decision to leave and understand I was too much at times but this whole thing has triggered every fear and trauma from my childhood. After surviving that first night thanks to a few crisis hotlines, I called a therapist because I knew I couldn't handle one more traumatic event.
My entire world has crumbled since that moment. I don't have a job and need to find a new place to live in less than 30 days. I don't have a safe family to go to and no friends. The only people I see are my new therapist. All I had was her and her family one day too. She was the first and only person I ever trusted or felt safe with. There are no words for the grief I have been feeling since that all went away. I'm in the dark with no contact and it's eating me alive losing every safety I had all at once with no idea what may happen in the near future.
I have been recently diagnosed with CPTSD and MDD. This helps with understanding why the relationship failed but it does nothing to ease the debilitating suffering I am going through.
I can't eat or sleep since I'm all alone in the place we were living in together. I have been coping in very unhealthy ways but I'm completely lost and shattered. I need serious relief.
Does anyone know anything to help with my ruminations or anxiety attacks? Does anyone have any advice for moving forward from someone you can't see a future without? Does anyone just have any kinds words to help get me through this?

2024.05.20 03:04 No-Treat6624 Ex recently filed FALSE assault and battery charges recently stating I assaulted him in 2022.
I recently applied for a job and my background check revealed these charges had been filed. I was in shock.
I left my physically & mentally abusive ex 2 days after he threatened to kill me last year. We lived together and I left EVERYTHING with the exception of two suitcases. I left with two police officers after the domestic violence hotline told me I should get an escort.
I’ve been No Contact since the day I left. He unfortunately saw me once as I was walking (6 months after I left) and jumped out of his car, approached me, said he was sorry for the way he treated me.
The incident he’s claiming occurred one evening when he choked me and I struck him causing him to bleed so that he would stop choking me.
He then picked up his phone IMMEDIATELY and made a video showing him bleeding saying I was abusing him while I was repeating I did not.
How should I proceed?

2024.05.19 23:55 foren_sick- Just venting about how annoying Blue Yonder is..
To preface, I know I just need to fix this issue when I come in for my next shift. I'm just annoyed.
They changed my password on a day I wasn't there and I was planning on offering my Monday shift over the weekend, but the app doesn't work because they changed my password while I was away. I've never used an attendance or employee app that is as buggy and glitchy as this one is. I used my old password but when it logs in it tells me that there's an authorization error. I log in with my new password and it tells me it doesn't recognize me before it finally logs in and there's nothing but an empty screen even after uninstalling and reinstalling the app twenty times. It's so ridiculous.
I've worked the worst of worst retail jobs and yet somehow FedEx is still the most inaccessible when it comes to a "self-ran" scheduling system and app.

2024.05.19 21:31 adulting4kids BPD
"I am going to be 48 years old in a few weeks. I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder since I was twenty years old. Much of my life, I have met all of the criteria of this disorder, and I have had a long, hard road ahead once it dawned on me that it was true. I have a fundamental dysfunction in my personality. I cannot cope with the world because at my core, I am unable to maintain stability as a functional adult for long periods of time due to my impulsive nature and my ability to forgive and love unconditionally. I don't know how to reconcile those traits with a healthy and successful life. My relationships are 'ride or die,' with me as the enabledoormat/reactionary drama queen. I tend to date men who need constant, obsessive attention and servitude, with them being the dominant to my submissive, their ego to my down-to-earth, and they are the Narcissist to my Borderline. I don't want to romanticize like so many JokeHarley memes, but this has been the way that it has gone for far too long.
My upbringing wasn't even close to being abusive. I was the only child, and my parents stayed married. I was sheltered, with no physical or sexual abuse; both of my parents were good people who loved me. It wasn't easy; we lacked money but never love. We struggled, but there were so many things that were different than for most people, in cool ways and in ways that were not cool. But never was I considered 'normal.'
One of the challenges of being Borderline is the difficulty in being our own therapist. Not because of this new 'favorite person' misinformation, but because we struggle with justifying anything. We see very little wrong with the way we are; we just need to know how we can make others understand that it's okay that we are intense, unpredictable in a predictable way, and humanly sensitive to everything that affects us. We insert ourselves into everything so we can let it all affect us. We claim that we didn't realize that we're supposed to change because we see no problem with the way we are; it's other people who are concerned, and we are not concerned with what people think (except when we are). So why do we have to change? It's our life, the one that is unmanageable and dysfunctional, and giving us unhoused vibes. This is still our life, and it's not easy to get through that we need to act accordingly because we don't care about your self-esteem; why do you care about ours?
So, we are often pushed into admitting that we can potentially be a little bit much. We are painted into the roles of the serial killer and the horrible Narcissistic Personality Disorder twin flame that nobody trusts because we follow our hearts (and we tend to hold grudges). Our dynamics are different, but we all follow astrology. Our sign is 'complete psycho' most of the time. I have been trying to figure out how to make it so we can get along with the world and it is not our enemy...but people keep messing up the whole situation.
People with borderline personality disorder may exhibit fear of abandonment through intense and unstable relationships. They might go to great lengths to avoid real or perceived abandonment, such as clinging to others, becoming quickly and intensely attached, or displaying extreme reactions (anger, panic, or depression) when they anticipate abandonment.
Abandonment fears can lead to impulsive actions to prevent separation or worse, therefore it's important to seek professional help for a comprehensive understanding and support. Additionally, individuals with BPD may engage in frantic efforts to avoid abandonment, such as making frantic, impulsive gestures to maintain a connection, even if those actions are not in their best interest. They might experience intense feelings of emptiness when alone and may go to extremes to fill that void. These behaviors can strain relationships, making it challenging for individuals with BPD to establish and maintain stable connections with others. Therapy, particularly dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), is often recommended to help manage and address these challenges.
Patterns of instability in borderline personality disorder (BPD) refer to consistent and recurring disruptions in various aspects of a person's life. This instability typically manifests in the following areas:
Identity disturbance in borderline personality disorder (BPD) refers to a pervasive and unstable sense of self. Individuals with BPD may struggle with a coherent and consistent understanding of who they are, which can manifest in several ways:
Dissociation in borderline personality disorder (BPD) refers to a coping mechanism where individuals disconnect from their thoughts, feelings, memories, or sense of identity. This disconnection can occur as a response to stress, trauma, or overwhelming emotions. Dissociative experiences in BPD may include:
Certainly, here are some examples of dissociative experiences that individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) may encounter:
Suicidal ideation in borderline personality disorder (BPD) involves persistent thoughts about death, dying, or the desire to end one's life. Individuals with BPD may experience varying degrees of suicidal thoughts, ranging from fleeting notions to detailed plans. Some aspects of suicidal ideation in BPD include:
Mood swings in borderline personality disorder (BPD) are characterized by rapid and intense changes in emotional states. These fluctuations can occur in response to various triggers or even without apparent cause. Key aspects of mood swings in BPD include:
The term "Cluster B" refers to one of the four personality disorder clusters outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Cluster B personality disorders share certain features, including dramatic, emotional, and erratic behaviors. This grouping includes the following personality disorders:
Diagnosing borderline personality disorder (BPD) typically involves a comprehensive assessment by a mental health professional. Several tools and methods are used to gather information, including:

Therapy, particularly dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), is often recommended to help manage and address these challenges.
Patterns of instability in borderline personality disorder (BPD) refer to consistent and recurring disruptions in various aspects of a person's life. This instability typically manifests in the following areas:
- Relationships: Individuals with BPD often experience tumultuous relationships marked by extremes of idealization and devaluation. Their attitudes and feelings toward others may change rapidly, contributing to a cycle of intense, yet unstable, interpersonal connections.
- Self-Image: BPD can involve an unstable sense of self. Individuals may struggle with a fluctuating self-identity, feeling uncertain about who they are, their values, and their life goals. This instability in self-perception can lead to a lack of direction and purpose.
- Emotions: Emotional instability is a hallmark of BPD. Intense and rapidly shifting emotions, such as anger, anxiety, and sadness, can be challenging to regulate. Mood swings may occur in response to external events or perceived threats to relationships.
- Impulsivity: Impulsive behaviors in areas like spending, substance abuse, reckless driving, or unsafe sexual practices are common in individuals with BPD. These actions often stem from a desire to alleviate emotional distress or avoid perceived abandonment.
- Spending: Reckless and impulsive spending, often beyond one's means, is common in individuals with BPD.
- Substance Abuse: Engaging in impulsive and risky behaviors related to substance use, including alcohol and drugs.
- Sexual Behavior: Unplanned and impulsive sexual encounters, sometimes without regard for potential consequences, can occur.
- Reckless Driving: Impulsive and risky driving behaviors, such as speeding or dangerous maneuvers.
- Self-Harm: Engaging in impulsive self-harming behaviors as a way to cope with intense emotions.
Identity disturbance in borderline personality disorder (BPD) refers to a pervasive and unstable sense of self. Individuals with BPD may struggle with a coherent and consistent understanding of who they are, which can manifest in several ways:
- Self-Image Fluctuations: A person with BPD may experience rapid shifts in self-perception, ranging from feeling exceptionally positive to extremely negative about themselves. This can occur within short periods.
- Uncertainty About Goals and Values: Individuals with identity disturbance may have difficulty establishing and maintaining long-term goals or consistent values. They might struggle with defining their life direction and purpose.
- Chameleon-Like Adaptation: Some individuals with BPD may adopt different personas or behaviors in different social situations, often as a means to fit in or avoid rejection. This can lead to a lack of stable and authentic self-expression. Intense Fear of Abandonment: The fear of abandonment can exacerbate identity issues, as individuals may shape their identity based on the perceived expectations or desires of others, leading to a lack of a stable core sense of self.
Dissociation in borderline personality disorder (BPD) refers to a coping mechanism where individuals disconnect from their thoughts, feelings, memories, or sense of identity. This disconnection can occur as a response to stress, trauma, or overwhelming emotions. Dissociative experiences in BPD may include:
- Depersonalization: Feeling detached from oneself, as if observing from outside the body.
- Derealization: Perceiving the external environment as unreal or distorted.
- Amnesia: Gaps in memory, especially related to stressful events or periods of intense emotion.
- Identity Confusion: Momentary lapses in awareness of one's identity or feeling unsure about who they are.
Certainly, here are some examples of dissociative experiences that individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) may encounter:
- Depersonalization: Feeling as though you are watching yourself from a distance, almost like being an observer rather than an active participant in your own life.
- Derealization: Perceiving the external world as strange, unreal, or distorted. You may be on a heavy trip off mushrooms and wandering around the closet park in the middle of the night feels different when you are over 40. It hits different, and you can get in a lot more trouble than experimenting teenagers. You're not holding a job long under these circumstances.
- Amnesia: Having periods of time where you cannot recall significant details or events, especially those associated with heightened emotional states or trauma. If you are being sedated for trying to call the same number over and over at three am because you desperately need to move to
- Identity Confusion: Brief moments of not recognizing oneself or feeling uncertain about personal identity, values, or goals. Taking in the attributes of your signiotg
Suicidal ideation in borderline personality disorder (BPD) involves persistent thoughts about death, dying, or the desire to end one's life. Individuals with BPD may experience varying degrees of suicidal thoughts, ranging from fleeting notions to detailed plans. Some aspects of suicidal ideation in BPD include:
- Frequency and Intensity: Suicidal ideation can be a chronic feature, with thoughts occurring regularly or intermittently. The intensity can range from vague thoughts to detailed plans.
- Impulsivity: Individuals with BPD may be prone to impulsive behaviors, and this impulsivity can extend to suicidal acts or self-harming behaviors during periods of emotional distress.
- Sense of Hopelessness: Suicidal thoughts in BPD can be linked to a pervasive sense of hopelessness, often fueled by challenges in relationships, identity, and emotional regulation.
- Coping Mechanism: For some, suicidal ideation may serve as a coping mechanism, providing a perceived escape from emotional pain or a means to regain control.
Mood swings in borderline personality disorder (BPD) are characterized by rapid and intense changes in emotional states. These fluctuations can occur in response to various triggers or even without apparent cause. Key aspects of mood swings in BPD include:
- Intensity: Emotions can shift from one extreme to another rapidly, with individuals experiencing intense feelings of joy, anger, sadness, or anxiety.
- Instability: The duration of mood swings can be brief, lasting only a few hours or days. This instability contributes to the challenge of predicting or managing emotional states.
- Triggered by Interpersonal Events: Mood swings in BPD often correlate with interpersonal stressors, such as perceived rejection, criticism, or the fear of abandonment.
- Impact on Relationships: The intensity and unpredictability of mood swings can strain relationships, as others may find it challenging to understand or respond to the rapidly changing emotional landscape.
The term "Cluster B" refers to one of the four personality disorder clusters outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Cluster B personality disorders share certain features, including dramatic, emotional, and erratic behaviors. This grouping includes the following personality disorders:
- Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): Characterized by instability in relationships, self-image, and emotions, along with impulsive and self-destructive behaviors.
- Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): Involves an exaggerated sense of self-importance, a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, and a lack of empathy for others.
- Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD): Characterized by a disregard for the rights of others, impulsivity, deceitfulness, and a lack of remorse after harming others.
- Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD): Involves a need for attention, dramatic and seductive behavior, and intense emotions that may be perceived as shallow.
Diagnosing borderline personality disorder (BPD) typically involves a comprehensive assessment by a mental health professional. Several tools and methods are used to gather information, including:
- Clinical Interviews: A mental health professional conducts thorough interviews to assess the individual's symptoms, emotional experiences, and history of relationships. These interviews may involve discussions about mood, identity, impulsivity, and interpersonal difficulties.
- Diagnostic Criteria: The assessment often involves evaluating the individual against established diagnostic criteria, such as those outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Meeting specific criteria is essential for a formal diagnosis.
- Structured Interviews: Mental health professionals may use structured interviews designed to elicit specific information related to BPD symptoms. These interviews help standard ize the diagnostic process.
- Self-Report Questionnaires: Individuals may be asked to complete self-report questionnaires designed to assess various aspects of personality, emotional experiences, and interpersonal functioning.
- Collateral Information: Information from family members, close friends, or other relevant sources may be considered to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the individual's behavior and relationships.

2024.05.19 19:54 laarsa Any idea why this is taking so long?
 | Last I heard from the office that has my application is when they called my Dad in late November while I was in the hospital to tell him I was medically approved and ask a few questions (he says he doesn't remember what the questions were). submitted by laarsa to SocialSecurity [link] [comments] My case manager at the local department of human services has been trying to get ahold of the office (as have I) but their phone line has been down for over a year. You hear a crackly automated message before it automatically hangs up on you. The main SSA hotline said that it is their real number and there is nothing they can do about it. They did give me an alternative number to call them from but it's the same broken system. My lease is about to expire and my Dad said he doesn't want to help me with living expenses again unless I have income. So I might be homeless in the next few months. I have no other family willing to help. I haven't gotten a job. Only cash I have on hand is small amounts of money my brother Venmo's me here and there for necessities. I use a Venmo debit card instead of sending it to the account that the SSA has on file, so I don't think they'll find that as suspicion I'm doing work for family, unless??? |
2024.05.19 15:18 microwaved_ice_cream [REVIEW] Back from Ban Island!! Loewe Flamenco Mini in Burgundy + Gold from Hyper Peter
Hello Ladies and Gents, it’s been a while since I’ve been active in Rep-land but I am happy to be putting words back on print with a mini review for a mini bag! I have a few weddings to attend to this coming summer so I knew I would need a handy sidekick to spruce up my looks. Naturally, the purse closet had nothing to wear (y’all know what I mean) so I turned to social media to look for inspiration and found this mini beauty from Loewe! My sister was in the market for a Loewe Puzzle and she wanted to get one from Hyper Peter, so I tacked on asking about my Flamenco. Thank goodness for my handy rolodex of rep resources, HP had both bags we wanted in stock!! A little bit of a wait due to HP being on much needed vacation, but in the end, he delivered and happy to report both bags are stunning!
About the author: I am a Loewe Lover through and though. The Puzzle has my heart and I’ve convinced my sister to get one for herself. We frequent the Loewe store often and it’s been a bad habit of mine trying on their bags. I always wanted this mini Lambskin baby so when the situation presented itself, I decided to go for it and buy at the same time as my sister! Been a replady since OG RL days but stepped a way from Reddit for a bit to put a cap on my spending habits (it was going a bit overboard especially when I started buying 18K reps…)
PHOTO TIME!!
My photos ❤️
HP does not usually disclose factory or factory pics and I didn’t ask but I know he has amazing Loewe Puzzles. Example 1 / Example 2
NO PSPs Opted out because I am an old time buyer of his.
~Authentic on Loewe website~ And this review was helpful too for details and mod shots! Also Purseblog’s 60 second review.
Disclosure: I didn’t receive a discount or anything in exchange for this review
Seller: Hyper Peter

Product: Loewe Flamenco Mini in Nappa Lambskin
Price: 1300 yuan plus 480 yuan (for shipping 2 bags) Fedex shipping no branded Loewe box total 1540 yuan or $213 usd
Paid by: Wise
Timeline:
⏳ Messaged Peter and paid on April 3
⏳ Confirmed with Peter that the bags are available April 3-4
⏳ Opted out of the PSPs because of the additional charge, Peter showed me pictures of the actual bag he sells and I figured it would be similar enough to it.
⏳ May 14 received the bags, worth the wait in my opinion!!
QUALITY:
1. THIS LEATHER IS BUTTERY!!! I can’t express how supple and luscious this lambskin is in words! It is incredibly soft, zero hint of dryness, thick yet malleable. It actually looks and feels very very close to the auth Loewe Flamenco I fondled at the store, buttery AF!
2. The pouch shape is correct, with correct stitching on the base of the bag and the top section that bunches up randomly in buttery folds (hence the name of the bag because the ruffles mimic a Flamenco dancer’s dress!) that look both elegant and casual at the same time. The opening of the pouch is cinched at the top with two leather knotted drawstring straps which can be used as the handles for this bag (as a low key clutch), but as a security feature, there’s also a magnetic closure that seals the opening of the bag, perfect for keeping your goodies in the bag!
3. This bag has not 1 but 2 straps! A beautiful “donut” ring strap with interwoven leather in alternate lacing and the second strap is an adjustable leather cinch strap that slides long and short depending on whether you want to use it as a shoulder bag or cross body!
4. The only other hardware of the bag is in the snap clasps which are nicely weighted and match the yellow gold tone of the donut chain. All function as needed.
ACCURACY:
1. Here are the dimensions of the auth Mini Flamenco: – Weight: 0.18 kg , Height : 17 cm ,Width : 23 cm , Depth : 5.5 cm. Admitedly I don’t have a scale so can’t weigh this bag myself but obviously for it’s size it’s very light. Here’s what I got for my measurements: Height : 17 cm, Width : 24 cm, Depth : 5 cm. I’d say this is a good match for the dimensions.
2. The first strap, the leather knotted version is removable and adjustable with a minimum length of 82 cm and max of 142 cm. The donut chain strap is 36 cm for mine.
3. The Donut strap gold tone is yellow, perhaps a touch more yellow than auth, but the luster and gloss is correct, it also is very dependent on lighting so I am not docking points off this because it’s verry hard to judge if you don’t have the auth next to it.
4. The shape, engravings and weight of the hardware are a good likeness for the auth. The snap hooks on the strap are the correct shape, have good functionality and are correctly branded with the Loewe logo.
5. Everything about the leather is just delicious. I can’t complain because I remember the auth being very similar in feel to the softness and density of this nappa lambskin. The burgundy shade is pretty much an exact match to the auth. The knotted drawstrings do not feel flimsy, the thickness and density are appreciated and even for a small bag, I don’t need to baby it.
6. The make/craftmanship of the bag is top notch. The suede lining is well lined, stitched well and no loose or faulty craftmanship anywhere. The pouch opening leather is well folded and stitched over.
7. I will deduct points for the thread being a shade too light compared to the auth. I am not too fussed about it but I did want to call that out for those who are concerned with the minute details. Taking one point off here.
8. Interior suede is thick, has good dense feeling and has a very nice texture. The interior datecode and logo match the auth well.
WFIMB:
Well this bag is teensy weensy, so other than my phone, a pack of issues, a cardholder, a compact and lipstick I am not really adding anything to it….I mean, what do you REALLY need at a wedding except for these few items?! A pack of gum or tictacs? Easy peasy, done deal. At any rate, whatever essentials you’d need for dressing up, this baby can handle it and that’s all you need in here anyways!
SATISFACTION:
I honestly didn’t expect to love this bag so much, but now I see any ladies love it and say it’s a good part of their collection. I was on the hunt for a small but practical bag, and with all the different ways this bag can be carried it’s quickly becoming a standout for any time I need a small elegant but functional bag for parties or nights out.
It’s my first burgundy colored bag (I was initially going to get the black) but I am glad I went for this pop of color. The burgundy is very deep, classy and understated in color but still pleasant to the eyes. I am not considering getting a puzzle in the dark burgundy as well just because this color is growing on me.
SELLER SATISFACTION:
Peter has always been one of my go to sellers. I know there have been many members who feel jilted that his communication has been few and far in between but I took the patient route and just waited for my bag to arrive (my order took over a month from start to finish, by the way). I actually appreciated his apology letter in his Monthly Seller intro. Perhaps it’s because I am a seasoned rep buyer and also a long time client of Peter’s so I was sure I would get my bag in the end. I find the best way to enjoy repping is to not stress over the small stuff and trust the process (and your gut of course). The mods here do an awesome job of guiding and advising when it comes to reviews and sellers so I knew that if I needed help, they’d have my back. But in all honesty, my bag arrived to me safely, my payment and ordering process were smooth sailing and the bag itself was certainly within my budget. For all these reasons and more, Peter will always have a top spot in my rep rolodex for reliable bags and service.
THE WRAP UP:
This bag is divine and being quite nonchalant about what others think or say, I would proudly wear this to any party or date night I go to. I would likely not flaunt it around my usual Loewe store (those SAs all recognize me) but I wouldn’t mind wearing it into a high end department store. My sister’s puzzle is absolutely accurate to the authentic though, I will help her write up a review for that one when I get a chance. I’d give Peter’s Loewe gold stars for the incredible value for the price!

2024.05.19 01:51 ConsistentNovel8939 Architecture, UX or construction? Looking for a quick pivot to a high paying field.
24 and my birthday is in 2 months, extremely sad that I’ll be broke and can’t celebrate my 25th birthday. I would like to know what is a field I can jump into within a year or two and be paid at least $50k a year.
Is that realistic for something like architecture, construction or UX design?
The internet has told me many different things about those fields but I was wondering if a real person that works in any of those fields could give some insight into pay, day to day, work culture?
I don’t think the rest of this is really relevant but I like to include extra context.
I’m really creative and I paint, sculpt, build miniatures, sew, etc so I’m not worried about the creative aspect of those jobs. I’m worried about the math/physics aspects of these fields. I haven’t taken a math class since high school. It was AP calculus and I did fine but I don’t remember the most basic algebra.
I have a bachelor’s of science in psychology. After working in the field i realized that I hate working in mental health/social work and I hate being poor. I just got laid off from the highest paying job I’ve ever had ($52k, suicide hotline). I’ve also worked in a prison and for DCFS absolutely hated both jobs. Right now I have a job as a phlebotomist (that i haven’t started yet, no clue if I’ll like it) and it only pays like $37k a year.
