I clocked out at 4 today but not 30 minutes later I’m getting bombarded with messages about alternate materials. I don’t write production bills of material I write the plan sooo I kinda have to guess what the final is going to be. It always blows back on me if I miss a material. Anyone else find their coworkers constantly trying to pass off blame?

To be fair I have never used the material in question and was pushing to remove the step entirely

But whatever

Blame shifting is not uncommon. Often when a system has a flaw in it, people will try to pin the blame on a person, not the actual problem. Hence the famous quote by Edward Demings, "A bad system will beat a good person every time."

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
