What did you do @Kamui |

Same thing happened to me. I stepped up. Didnt get any credit for it. Except pat on the back. I walked out. Then quit. Felt great. Unfortunately I haven't found work and it's been 4 months and counting. Talking to ex co-workers. They need more skilled workers and strong leader. I told em. I'm done with that place. |
Quote:
second time for me actually with the same company. all my ex-coworkers were telling me they were drowning and needed a strong leader to help them outta it. all the mangers said "we were good" came back for a bit helped them around and got dicked around. finally left that place on monday for good |

I learned alot though. Never be loyal to a company |

1) "I stepped up"; that was 1 time for 1 freaking week, ain't no body going to be giving you a raise. 2) "I'm doing their job, I should be a manager"; it also tough for 2 reasons. a) not all corp companies can just promote you and b) you might be doing 80% of a manager's day to day job; the other 20%, you still gotta prove in a time frame for them to recognize. Eg// sometimes it'll have to be 6-12 months before you MIGHT get sometime. I'm going thru it now. Stepped up / volun-told for now 1.5 yrs now. It's ok, just suck it up, the day will come. Sorry to hear about this. Again, for those who walked out; I assume you have a solid background, tenure, connections etc to do so. Of course if you're just a 8-5 worker with minimal experience and you don't know your landscape of your industry, finding something is going to be tough. Quote:

@all, to clarify. I didn't pack my bags over night and quit. I immediately started networking, upgrading my skills and applying to different jobs. I quit AFTER signing a contract with a new employer. Please don't quit your job based on my story. Always have a plan. |

The "Vancouver girls" are bred like that from a young age. Obviously, those that immigrated from Mainland China/Hong Kong with a rich family have outrageous expectations. Went out for a cruise a couple month ago, last one of the season. Spotted a friend of mine on Seymour, who was with his girlfriend AND his girlfriend's best friend ( L O L ). Friend was driving his girlfriend's parent's e90 325i, which gf's friend didn't approve of. They met up with all of us, and the first thing that girl asked was who has the fastest car, and can she get a ride back to richmond, bc the car she came in is "too slow". We all said, "S2K is the fastest car" but she thought it was my 330ci bc BMW. She ended up getting a ride back in my car, but she didn't talk the entire time lmao. Later I found out that she was bitching at my friend while gf was in the car. "You don't deserve to date my best friend, if you don't own your own BMW. Look at your friend, he has his own BMW." Little does she know, it was only 5.6K LOL :troll: Needless to say, I don't remember her name LOL. |
I've been dating this girl for 2 months. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by this new relationship already. I come from a working class family. I learned few weeks after our first date that our economic backgrounds are quite different. I make ends meet with my salary - but she makes quite a bit more than I do, with the opportunity to double my income over the next few years. Income aside, her family is quite wealthy. It makes me feel embarrassed and overwhelmed because I can't keep up with her lifestyle. She doesn't exactly live frugally but she definitely does not flaunt herself. We went out for lunch the other day at a restaurant she really likes. I've never been there. The bill came out to $130 before tips -- at a Chinese restaurant! We didn't even order drinks. Never in my entire life have I spent over 40 bucks for a lunch meal. She paid it but she said this amount is common when she hangs out with her friends for a meal. It was a real eye opener for me to realize the difference in the way we spend our money. I know I should check my ego at the door but I don't know how I could keep up with her lifestyle. I could probably and will have to stomach the fact that she is the breadwinner in the relationship but it it isn't easy. |

seems like you feel less manlier because she makes more. but hey. what normal guy wouldnt? if the love is there and she doesnt care about the way you live, then keep her. very rare in Vancouver for a girl to keep a guy around that makes less mooola. |

Her parents had wanted to meet me so we set everything up and had dinner. It was a whole new kind of awkward since they questioned me on everything, i've had to meet parents before but this was next level shit... when all the questions were done and i offered to pay for dinner, they refused it which was okay, but the way they refused it was kinda offending because they belittled me and my family... i don't understand why since i'm currently pursuing a bachelors with a major in finance, I showed up for dinner well dressed and in the bimmer also since it was the first time meeting them and i wanted to give them a good impression, i even brought out the gold AX... The Girl figured i was offended/hurt so we went for dessert and some shopping to fix my bruised ego, even let me pay. :joy: Maybe they wanted to see a Ferrari :considered: |

While she works as a gov't worker, lifestyle of food, shopping, traveling, home payments were way beyond my reach. I earn hard for my money and saved a heck of a long time until I got my first car, motorcycle, luxurious vacation etc. Then you got a significant other who would just go on a 5k trek, buys a motorcycle out of the blue..... Sometimes it's just not meant to be. |
Interesting lol i dont get that about families wanting a wealthy partner? How much money you make and the car you drive doesnt say anything about what kind of person you are? You can be rich, drive a Ferrari and still be a dick lol |
yeah i thought that was fucked up too...are you guys asian?..srs question.. i legit met white girls who's folks owned hotels around the globe and she was the most down to earth regular person i've knew...didn't give a shit to ask such personal questions of wealth or make instant judgments on the spot. |
^ that’s the impression I get from white folk parents too. Asian is really a few notch above for expectations |
Yes I'm asian. They are retarded when it comes to 1) my kids needs to be married by 25 or else they are failures (Taiwan, China, HK included). 2) Money is everything. It means my daughter will be well taken cared of. 3) Girl gets married and thought it was unicorns and rainbows. BAM, didn't realize just cause he has money, doesn't mean they family money is theirs. 4) The girl got divorced shortly. *Last note, GUYS with money will spend it on hookers & cheat like there's no tomorrow. I know a boat load of husbands with money and the party like there is no tomorrow. Wife closes a blind eye and hopes to be able to just live the lifestyle of doing nothing. |
Tired of cleaning up after my bf when he has a bunch of priorities that come before me/his home on his days off (gym, video editing, skateboarding, posting on ig) Its like he just comes up with new ways to leave the house and leave me to clean up his shit ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME. If you can show off for instagram to get followers and likes, why cant you clean your own apartment you lazy +*××÷$&#@%/÷= How do you get guys to clean? Im super unhappy and feel like hes treating me like a maid......that doesnt get paid |

All of the posts above are exactly why I gave up on dating Asian women. Maybe I just had bad luck, but every Asian girl I dated was very impulsive, materialistic, and had very unrealistic expectations. Not to mention a lot of them are very disloyal especially if money or status is a deciding factor. A lot of the ones I've met had no goals or ambitions in life, basically just wanted to party their way through their life and have some guy pay for it all. One too many negative experiences and I started dating white girls. As a culture, I find that they have more realistic expectations, they are down to help you reach your goals, very caring and kind, down to earth and not materialistic at all.... and the booty too. So much booty. You've never lived until you've cuddled with a thick white girl. Bomb AF! P.S: As a Filipino guy I never realized how racist Asian families can be, especially Chinese people. For all the generalizations regarding how "only White people can be racist" I can honestly say I've never been discriminated against by Whites as I have by Chinese.... |
