What do you mean by this?

It’s a meme among a certain type of man-on-the-internet to brag about certain things. A very common one is to share how little they care about the “wedding industrial complex” and how little they spent on their own weddings.

Agreed. I got a kitten last year and he has taught me a lot.

> Playing along felt like the price of inclusion.

Wait, what? The author played along for more than a year and then placed a complaint? Maybe it's the way the article is written but this seems pretty bad on the author's part.

The author seemed to be mainly worried about their ruining their 'upward trajectory' in the company.

Aaannnd the author is writing a book.

Yes, I am cynical.

“Playing along” simply means that she didn’t escalate the matter immediately to HR but ignored that (repeated) behavior in order to continue with her work. I don’t see anything wrong with her wanting to ignore this harassment in hopes that the harasser would stop, but deciding after a year that it was too much and never going to stop, at which point she decided to report it.

I've already closed the article tab, but she writes that the harasser was about to be promoted to management---specifically, her manager.

Because it is true. The fastest way to kill your career is to make complaint to HR. The second fastest way is to have a complaint made against you. Once you are a target of the system, there is a level of scrutiny you will be subject to that blocks you moving up and make sure your name is always on the potential layoff list. Not right away, and not in retaliation, but your days are numbered.

And these laws were passed in some European countries before the USA introduced them

Most Europeans will say they are French, German, Italian, etc. "European" means very little to us except not-american

OP already explained that the partner does not see sitting at a computer as working. They have different underlying assumptions which need to be addressed. That can be hard but not worth throwing away a relationship unless one person won't work towards resolving it.

HN is not /r/relationships so I don't want to discuss healthy relationships too much, but their partner not seeing sitting at a computer as working does not mean that reminding them that it is in fact working won't change their behavior.

If anything I empathize with OP because I had the exact same issue with my partner where she'd come to show me tiktoks while I was working but when I said I did not want to be disturbed she stopped. Sure she teased me about being too serious but I just don't see how a healthy relationship could have something like this escalate...

I don't know what /r/relationships. I am glad you and your partner resolved your issues. Do you think the same solution will work for every similar problem?

Or, rather than hinging your relationship on the current extraordinary pandemic situation, just leave it unresolved and avoid working from home as much as possible. Presumably it will get easy to avoid again.

Oh well that explains it. I'm surprised they didn't see that coming.

Woah - that is surprising. I wonder what the cause of the dislikes is on these videos? Is it targeted or just no overlap from Biden supporters and YouTube? Or they're not happy with Biden. Very telling that YouTube are moving to remove the dislikes though..

What tech stack did you use?

Hi! I made it by mostly using no-code tools. It’s built using Wordpress. I used the plugins WP User Frontend Pro and Advanced Custom Fields Pro.

I am grateful for all the tools available to create quick websites :)

Yes, I am too!
