What are you leaving behind in 2020?

Question

Answer 1

Xper 2

A male friend who have gotten married and become really weird about our friendship. His wife hates me even though I have been sooo tolerant with her passive aggressive remarks. I have really tried to show her that I am happy for them and could be her friend too, and a good one.
He is either super friendly and sends stuff for my birthday etc, wants us all to hang out.
But when we do he is quiet and stares at his phone all the time. I actually feel hurt because we are childhood friends and I wanted to remain friends through life and hoped that if I just showed his wife I am supportive of her and them (I even takes her side sometimes when they are having an argument and wants me to chip in. I know, that is also strange). I have also let go of a female friend who was fun and beautiful but has zero regard and respect for me. Everyone are just a source of supply for her and she can discharge me for no reason and block me for 6 months and then suddenly return and be bubbly and lighthearted. “Hi, sorry I got cross with you, let’s be friends again”. 4th time now and when she tried to return this time I didn’t let her. I don’t throw away people that easily but I don’t want these two to keep hurting and disrespect me. I know I am a good friend and would never act towards them like they do to me.

My friends. I know it's a jerky thing to do, but I plan on ghosting them. They're not worth my time and I don't need them anyway. Plus, they're really mean.

A very weird year is whaat I'm leaving behind, it started off really good, then COVID-19 came along & knocked it on it's ass, then later on as the year progressed, my mum became really sick from Leukemia and was in and out of hospital from treatment, it's still touch & go, but she seems to be doing ok right now, but I'm still worried.

Hopefully co vid 😅 but more realistically I will be hopefully sustainably be off of government aid and bring on my own working. Which i hope will take me through the next 30 years of my life. I'm not sure how successful I will be but I hope to be able to keep myself a float...

Overreacting, be calmer, and more accepting of others, show more affection. Oh, and Covid 19, but can wear mask until vaccinated. 2020 was tough.

You're still doing that one job where you gotta commute like crazy?

@iFarted I was, til June. But towards the end of last year they brought in all the corporate assholes to run the branch and all of a sudden what I was doing still wasn’t enough for them lmfao. Plus they had stiffed me two years in a row on promises bonuses of $5k that I earned, just straight up didn’t pay me. Finally confronted the owner about it, professionally and face to face like men, and this jackoff could not have been more dismissive and disrespectful. Long story short I almost went over the table at this motherfucker after some blantantly disrespectful talk, had to be restrained by our National Accounts Manager lmfao. Can’t believe I wasn’t fired that day, honestly, lmao. But we squashed it to some degree and he was basically like “I’ll look into it”, and I was like “fine, but if I don’t hear back in a month, I’m going to start only working to rule until I see my money”, like working 40 hours and that’s it, no extra favors, now of that shit that I did to keep my end of the business functional. So that started happening, then in January they brought up this like 25 year old kid who’s chugging the company Kool Aid, basically to take my job, and I was going to be his #2.

@iFarted I actually didn’t care because they never changed my pay, and I’ve found out since leaving that he was making less than me the whole time😂😂😂 But now it was his problem, yet I saw the writing on the wall and knew I was officially in overtime with this job at that point, the end was near. So I took a good six months to just operate on cruise control (although shit got nuts early in the pandemic, grocery biz and all), and then eventually they did what I knew they would, and fired me, without egregious cause. And that was the best case scenario because I got my fucking money from them, ultimately, through collecting unemployment. And I’m staying with my elderly dad helping him out, so I have almost zero overhead in life costs, so this was the best possible situation for me to leave a job I didn’t want anymore and get paid pretty fucking handsomely for it. And I know from previous employee firings that they absolutely HATE paying into unemployment, so I’m just walking away clean really feeling like I won, haha. And my former employees still hit me up and tell me how much worse it’s gotten there, not just for them, but how the company performs. Absolute joke of a business run by an absolute prick of a guy, but I couldn’t be more stoked about the way it all played out. Shit, I might not even work in 2021 either, “thanks” to these guys lmao.
