[ { "from": "human", "value": "I failed a random drug test at work for weed. Was suspended till I could test negative. Now they changed policy not testing for weed So about 2 months ago I was randomly drug tested at work and tested positive for weed. I was a daily smoker usually only to help me sleep and pain relief. Smoking for me was never about partying or abusing it. I only smoke by myself. I've worked for this company for over 2 years now and in good standings. Never once late for a shift, always productive and done my job correctly. There was no reason to believe that me smoking weed during my free time affected my work performance in any way.\n\nAfter the results of the random drug test comes back, hr informs me that I failed. I had 2 choices ; I could either be terminated or suspended until I can test clean and go through treatment. I decided for the suspension because I enjoy my job and I'm good at it. I knew it would take a while to get clean, but I was willing to go through it. It took about 40 days to start testing negative, so after waiting for the test to come back I lost about 6 weeks worth of pay. On top of that, I am currently attending these treatment classes every Tuesday for 3 hours to talk about our addictions. Most people in the class were addicted to hard drugs and/or alcohol. So I jump through all the hoops and get back to work as soon as the test come back negative. I have busted my ass trying to catch up with everything I've missed, and I have accomplished this within the week.\n\nThe very next week, HR sends a company wide email saying that they are no longer testing for weed with their pre employment or random drug testing. I can't imagine this is a coincidence that as soon as I get back they changed their policy. They know that I'm a good worker and they suspended me for no reason for such a long period of time. Do I have any grounds to demand some sort of back pay for the time I missed? Hr also told me that since I failed before the policy change that I have to continue treatment. I feel that this is completely unfair due to the timing of this policy change" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The timing sure is frustrating. But not much you can do. The only thing you might have a case for is discontinuing the treatment. But HR has to follow their rules. At least, once you’re done, you don’t have to worry about testing positive on randoms anymore. I would advise against lawyering up, unless you want to find a new job. If you bring a lawyer into the mix, your employer will most likely find a way to let you go once its all completed. No employer wants to keep an employee that has tried to sue them. Also something to consider if you ever want to sue for wrongful termination. It will make it harder for you to find a future job. Someone who is quick to lawyer up is a risky hire. Not saying its right, just saying how it is." } ]

[ { "from": "human", "value": "ople keep smelling fart and poo every time I'm around I'm losing my mind, for the past couple of years throughout high school most of my friends keep telling me they smell fart and poo when I’m around even though I'm not farting. This happened numerous times and it became my biggest insecurity. Recently, I played in a volleyball club I just joined last week. In a middle of a game, someone from my team mentions that they keep smelling farts odor. I instantly knew that the smell came from me. She mentioned this a couple of times throughout the game. After that, I couldn't focus on the game and kept thinking about it. So I got home earlier than everyone because I was so embarrassed. When I tried to smell my underwear I couldn't smell anything. But for the record, I do fart quite a lot. But I always try to hold it when I'm around people (I didn't have the urge to fart at all at the volleyball game). My friend also once mentioned that I had really bad breath. So when I got home I tried to check my breath by licking my hand and smelling it when it dried. It does stinks with a faint odor of fart I could say?. I did clean myself very thoroughly every time I took a shower to prevent the smell, but this still happens over and over.\n\nSo I think the smell comes from either my colon or my breath. I also need to mention I have 2 bad teeth that I haven't extracted. Bad tooth also causes bad breath right? But is it possible that people can smell my breath that far? I'm confused about where the problem really is because it could be my bad breath or my colon.\n\nPlease help me if you guys have any experience or knowledge about this. I can't keep living like this, this will ruin my life.\n\n\nEdit: didn't expect to have many people interacting with the post, this is embarrassing lol. I really appreciate everyone's suggestions and stories. Now I'm sure the smells come from my mouth. I'll get my teeth done as fast as possible and take care of my body hygiene more thoroughly.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "I punched my wife’s best friend for touching me inappropriately. UPDATE available here: https://www.reddit.com/u/throwaway_wknds/s/PsiT333W5o\n\nHey everyone, lurker here. I’ve tried posting this from a different account however it did not work so I hope this works.\n\nI’ve (35M) been with my beautiful wife (34F) for close to 10 years. We have no kids as of now. My wife’s best friend, Amy has been friends with my wife for about 15 years, all throughout college where I originally met my wife. \n\nMe and Amy haven’t ever been the best of friends however we’ve been cordial for the sake of my wife. I’ve always found her to be obnoxious, loud and entitled. The kind that inserts herself into any and every conversation, whether that be on a night out with friends or a private conversation. For example, myself and my best friend were talking about fertility issues in his marriage during a dinner with our long time friends, we were quiet enough so that nobody could hear us over the chatter yet she found a way to be nosy and make a comment on how she would “kill herself” if she couldn’t do the one thing a woman was made to do. This pissed off my best friend, Max and his wife to the point where they excused themselves and left early to go home. \n\nNow onto the actual situation at hand. Amy’s boyfriend, Khalid had left her due to her annoying personality. I think it was more of a build up but what set him off was when Amy purposely did not feed their dog while he was on a work trip because he was sleeping while she was drunk and calling him to collect her. That’s only the tip of the iceberg. \n\nAmy has always been weird with me. She has constantly tried to DM me on Instagram, trying to make conversation about gossip in our friend group or completely random things. I have always ignored her. My wife has always seen past her strange behaviour, she refused to believe her dearest best friend would have ill intentions. \n\nAnyway, after their break up, Amy came over to our house to see my wife. My wife was feeling ill on this day so she took pills to help her sleep and fell asleep in a matter of an hour. I could not ask Amy to leave in the state she was in so for my wife I suggested she could sleep in the guest bedroom. She agreed and went to bed. I was in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner and she waltzed into the kitchen with nothing but under garments on. She acted shocked and claimed she didn’t know i was still in the kitchen. I felt extremely uncomfortable and decided to call it a night. However, she started stripping and approaching me, telling me how my wife doesn’t have to know and she’s “seen the way i’ve looked at her”.\n\nI was completely baffled and told her she’s gotten the wrong idea and to be ashamed to do this to her own best friend while I try to scurry out of the kitchen. However she practically leaped in front of me and touched my private’s. Without a second thought, I hit her. I know I could have easily pushed her but in the moment I panicked and punched her in the face. Her eye was left bruised. She started wailing, enough that my wife woke up and stumbled in the kitchen to see her best friend, naked and bruised. \n\nShe then went on about how I “tried to rape her” and that I’m a disgusting human being and she should divorce me. I snapped back that she approached me, naked and a rejection wasn’t enough for her to back off so I punched her, hence the bruise. My wife didn’t say anything. Instead she fainted and I immediately brought her to the hospital. \n\nMy wife is now okay but refuses to talk to me about what happened. On the other hand, Amy has now accused me of attempting to have sex with her in our friend group. The majority of people don’t believe her but there’s a few who live by always believe a rape accusation. The other half told me I fucked up by punching her and fueling this anger. \n\nAmy has ruined my life. I’m afraid my wife will divorce me and this goes to court. I’ve already contemplated suicide many times. I don’t know where to go from here.\n\nEDIT: I know this story sounds absurd and I wish it were fake but it is not. The unnecessary details were brought in to point an overall picture of her character. I guess it is worth mentioning my wife feels like she owes her life to Amy for getting her out of an abusive household when they were teenagers. They are practically like sisters. Amy was also not drunk.\n\nEDIT 2: \n\nEDIT 2: A few things I would like to clarify to avoid confusion:\n\n1. Amy claims to have gone to the kitchen to get a glass of water not knowing I was still there. She then claims I took advantage of her.\n\n2. This incident happened at approximately 3AM. It is now 8AM.\n\n3. She came up with this story and posted it in our group chat right after she went back home. \n\n4. Majority of our friend group have to get up early for their responsibilities hence how this misinformation has spread like wildfire. I have been getting individuals DMs on advice and opinions since where I’ve concluded the majority are on my side, some say I shouldn’t have punched her and the rest believe her. \n\n5.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "date: Brother passed away Saturday, and Mother insisted on a Roman Catholic funeral despite his hatred of religion. Should I have posted this update elsewhere? I am only posting here, because the original post was here. So many, many people responded; I wanted to reach the same audience and let everyone know what their advice did, and the results. The original post:\n\nhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Advice/comments/9z2jff/my_brother_who_hated_religion_died_saturday_i/?utm_source=reddit-android\n\nSome background:\n\nIn his last week of life, Brother was moved to our sister's house (who is an active nurse). She selflessly accepted him in (despite two children and a work schedule that ICU/ER nurses have), and kept a \"baby monitor\" in the room; she was always available, cleaned him, turned him, etc... all of the needs that a dying person has, that only others whose family members are on the verge of dying can understand.\n\nI followed the more or less general consensus, and was preparing to create a coalition to protest a funeral so very much against who my brother was in life.\n\nAnd in my outrage... *I* somehow forgot who my brother was in life.\n\nI got a call from our Sis. She wanted to check up on me, knowing how devastated I was by Brother's death.\n\nIn all of my anger, in all of my outrage... I never called the one person who had been caring for him.\n\nBrother foresaw our mother's pain, and agreed to a Roman Catholic burial. He did not convert as I thought I was being told, or whatever the case may have been.\n\nSis did not believe it either, but assured me that she made sure they were alone, and spoke to him during a lucid period to verify that he actually agreed to it.\n\nThat was the kind of man my brother was. In his very last days, as he lay dying, he cared more about how the pain and loss after he was gone would affect others, rather than about himself.\n\nI actually *was* the asshole, for only dwelling in my own pain and not realizing that this is exactly something Brother would do: \"sacrifice\" himself for the good of others. Sacrifice is too strong a word, but you know what I mean.\n\nSo: I officially thank the hundreds upon hundreds who took the time to comment, and the dozens who PM'd/DM'd me. All of you, in all of your thoughts and beliefs on every side... again, thank you. Brother and I always believed in hearing all sides without reservation.\n\nYou have -beyond doubt- shown that that caring towards others still holds true despite all of the hate and fingerpointing that currently seems so prevalent.\n\nA forum of complete strangers came together. I love you all... and thank you so very, very much.\n\nI have on last thing to ask of you:\n\nDo a random act of kindness for a complete stranger, just once.\n\nI don't mean some faceless donation to charity or whatever, to some random whatever. Instead, make a difference, if even for a moment, to some other person around you. For no reason other than to brighten someone's day.\n\nGive a bag to someone who is short one at a checkout stand at your local grocery. Offer to buy someone's coffee in line behind you. Help someone to cross a street, or offer to lead someone lost somewhere in a hospital. *Something*\n\nBecause these are the kind of things my brother did every day.

All i could see. Was his cousins name and thats when it hit me. It was his 26 year old lesbian cousin. And the video was her and her girlfriend. \n\nHe had borrowed her phone for something at the many family events he attends and went through her camera roll. And recorded all of those nasty things on her phone with his phone.\n\nI cut contact for a week. I couldnt eat or sleep.

Ive already had very bad self esteem issues and body dysmorphia for a couple of years. This made it all 10 times worse.\n\nPlease help me anyone who can understand how hard it is for me.

My sister has issues, she is immature and only cares about partying and hooking up.. I love her kid and honestly there are times I almost think I should adopt her \n\nShe has only one outfit, the one she had on Monday and his starting to ask where her mom is.. I went to her place and she was not there.. but we saw her tagged in some insta stories in bars or with friends\n\nMy boyfriend and I had a little weekend getaway organized that we already paid for, were probably gonna have to bring her and we are happy to but we also wanted it to be a romantic weekend\n\nShe probably just wanted some time off from her daughter and his probably going to come and pick her up soon but I don’t know when, I don’t have anything to send her to school like her books, her bag, clothes etc.. my boyfriend is going to have to drop her to school in the morning because the bus doesn’t come to our place.. I don’t know what to do\n\n\n\nUPDATE: My sister just came to pick her up.. She seemed maybe a bit hangover but not high or drunk and the social service lady told me that I have to let her go, especially since my niece was really happy to see her mom, I couldn’t just make a big scene.\n\nThe report is already made to Social Services, someone is appointed to our case for Monday, I don’t know exactly what is going to happen or what are the steps..\n\nI just went back to the DPJ website and our appartment does not meet all criteria to be a foster family.. But my boyfriend’s parents are willing to take her\n\nI talked to a lawyer and we can’t adopt her.. What is most likely to happen is the social services are going to evaluate if my niece has to be fostered (I guess it will be the case) and then my boyfriends parents could be the one to take her for a couple of months. A social worker will assess my sister’s progression and decide if after X number of time she has gotten better enough to take her daughter back in again.. But you can’t just adopt a kid who already has a biological parent if the parent is not totally unfit.. That was my understanding of it but I’m sure there’s more complexity to it\n\nEdit: a big big thank you and hug the all those who answered and supported me❤️" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Call CPS and report her for child abandonment." } ]

I come from another country ( I’m European ) and I moved to North America to be with him, I have no friends, relatives or stuff in here but he does have his family and a lot of people that like him.. We’ve had our share of difficulties but nothing major until the Christmas Day. My husband wanted to go to his family’s house so his parents can see the baby.. We are Muslim so we don’t celebrate Christmas. His parents have 4 more children except him ( aged 14,11,8,5) and honestly I do not like to go there because my husband talks to his family in his native language (Arabic) and doesn’t try to speak to me, same for his parents - they’re nice tho.. I’m left with his little siblings that tire me out, they’re the type of children that never stop talking. On Christmas Day I didn’t wanted to go there and my baby was sleeping anyway at that time in my arms. He “jokingly” as he said slapped me when I said that I don’t want to go there and he tried to wake up the baby. I’ve started arguing with him that my baby’s sleep is more important than his family seeing her ( baby going through sleep regression and she’s barely sleeping ) and he said that if I don’t want to go he can go with my baby by himself. I have been with my baby by myself since she was born, I cosleep with her and she’s my only “friend”, he sleeps on the couch because he works.. I told him that he can’t take my baby because it’s MY baby, from there everything escalated and he hit me, multiple times. I have indeed hit him back but he’s triple my size and double my body weight. I’ve cried and cried by myself.. my baby was screaming because I was screaming.. that ended and I acted like nothing happened.. Today - 1 hour ago my husband turned off my internet, I went to the bathroom and in that time the baby woke up and we went downstairs, he started accusing me that I woke up the baby because I didn’t had internet anymore, I have said some bad words to him because how dare he accuse me of waking my own child up? I use the internet to watch videos and to not lose my mind while I try to put my baby to sleep.. it’s the only thing that keeps me sane honestly.. I have a colicky baby that is teething and going through a sleep regression.. He told me that I don’t do anything all day only stay on my phone.. I got mad at him and argued, he told me to take my daughter upstairs ( she fell asleep in her swing) and go. I said no and again he hit me. But this time I wanted to run, I went outside and he locked me out dor a minute, I was in shorts and no shoes or socks at 33 degrees - 0 in Europe crying in the middle of the night. He ended up opening the door, mocking me, then he went upstairs and checked my phone to see what I do or watch. He told me not to hit him back because I will lose my teeth He turned back on the internet while checking my phone I have a lot of bruises and a lot of tears, I honestly just want to die at this moment, I don’t know what to do or where to go.. I have no money no job and I have my baby I’m at 6,706 km from my home my life is terrible and I’m stupid for even moving here and it’s a shitty small town and it’s the middle of the winter\n\n&#x200B;\n\n&#x200B;\n\n&#x200B;\n\nUPDATE : I have read your comments he‘s working today on his break he came and he tried to talk to me today and act like nothing happened and brought me takeout and tried to touch me\n\nBaby’s birth certificate is not out yet Canada takes a long time after applying I have PR but my baby Has my husband‘s last name and Ive Read that I need something like a letter from him to travel with my baby abroad if that’s possible\n\ni Don’t have much family back home and the ones that I have are not able to support me financially to get out of here we’re talking at least 2.5k for plane and even more to be able to go to the airport since it’s almost 3 hours away I’m in the middle of nowhere honestly in a small town where There’s a shelter but it’s only a night shelter for the homeless and you’re not able to stay during the day most homeless there are active users and there’s no rooms or anything just The divided beds\n\nmost people in this community that know him like his family and him and have had a bad opinion about our marriage thibkinf that Im coming to Canada to be able to become a citizen and I’m a fraud.. that’s what he said at least before we got married I know for sure that most people that I could potentially ask for help will be on his side or will try to solve the problem so the marriage lasts. once in our fights he said that he will give me the baby to take her back to mt home country I hope after the birth certificate arrives I will be able to Get her a passport\n\nhe works 12 to 8 from Monday to Saturday so I don’t see him much except on Sundays and on Monday since he’s off for new years\n\nthanks for worrying about me I will keep updating you if theres no update know that he probably turned off the internet again\n\n&#x200B;\n\n&#x200B;" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I am so so sorry.

I was never into the redpill/masculinity/pickup side of things but was DEEP into the genetic determinism/blackpill stuff. This was a few years ago and since then I’ve moved on from it, graduated college and got a job that I love and am passionate about.\n\nHowever, as the fog is lifting I realize that I truly have issues with women. Issues that predated my incel phase and still exist now. Deep rage and insecurity and depression. I actually clench my jaw and get a pit in my stomach whenever I hear/read women discussing their sexuality or preferences in men. I can’t handle even the most innocuous, passive rejections or disinterest without it ruining my whole day. I never, ever approach women or attempt to flirt. I can barely even talk to them or look them in the eye. It’s like I fundamentally cannot see myself as a sexual being that a woman would ever want, that this whole aspect of life is kept from me because of things I can’t control. \n\nI don’t believe that women can be good leaders. I truly believe that their judgment is clouded by catty social dynamics and the attractiveness of the men they interact with. That I’ll be overlooked in a professional setting if women have power over me because I’ll be judged by my appearance and demeanor instead of by my skills and accomplishments. \n\nBasically I still can’t see them as full people or individuals. They are a woman first and (maybe sometimes) an individual second. I’ve been alone for years, and I feel like I’ve missed out on my prime years to date, have sex etc. And I feel like the reasons for it are arbitrary and unfair. \n\nI don’t know what to do. I don’t want to go down a path of increasing despair and anger. I don’t want to be alone forever. I want a relationship and female friends in theory but I can’t connect to or respect women in practice.\n\n—————————-\n\nEDIT; To everyone who offered me a thoughtful, long reply or reached out to me or offered to chat in DM’s, thank you. The amount of comments is overwhelming to address each one individually but please know that I’ve read and will continue to read all of them. I will make an effort to respond and/or reach out to those of you who offered or asked me questions. \n\nTo those of you who expressed anger, judgment, etc. I don’t blame you. Men like me have been abusers, murderers, rapists and more. I’ve never done anything like that and part of the reason I want help is to avoid that ever being a reality. I hate myself more than you hate me, rest assured. But I ask you to think twice next time someone comes asking for help to change, because what else am I supposed to do?\n\nFINAL EDIT; I am truly overwhelmed by the response of this community. I will continue to slowly read, digest and absorb your words and will respond over time to many of you. Your messages and encouragement have brought me to tears. I truly hope that others like me can see this post. And I hope all of you understand that your kindness and openness have helped me today and will help me change in the future. Thank you.
