This week I got addicted to a podcast that popped up randomly when I was searching for some topics on Spotify. It's a self development/female empowerment themed podcast. The host tells some stories about her past here and there (she used to be insecure, judge others, married his ex-boyfriend's best friend...) I did reddit her and saw people who used to know her confirming she was a bully until late teens, harassing people online etc... I'm divided now, I hate bullies & I think they don't change

Like, if someone was mean and enjoyed humiliating others at age 16/17, probably at 28 they are still not a great person, even if they have tamed their behaviour... I don't want to support a bully but I enjoy the podcast, is an easy listen and generally basic but positive

How much of what she is saying do you believe is actually true? Is she sharing stories of reality that's biased in her favor? If someone else told the story, would she be painted in a much different light?

Some from time to time in the podcast, depending on the topic, she talks briefly about her own experiences and growth, she was portraying an past insecurity issue that made her be judgemental, but people on reddit say that she was a bully. I'm inclined to think she's dimishing her actions now that she has a female self development podcast. She frequently mentions she had to leave friendships behind because they were not a good influence, that she's a more developed version now... all this talk is what made look her up on Reddit actually.

Does she have an episode that centers around bullying, harassment, aggression/microaggressions or other such topics? Perhaps hearing how she characterizes that specific topic (beyond just being judgemental) would help you decide. Some people really do change but I would think if it's a cornerstone lesson that shapes how she is now, she'd have episodes that address this issue head on. If not, then you probably have your answer.

Sounds like you’re listening to a narcissist bully’s podcast. She may have changed but in my experience, only extreme pain / punishment makes such people change. Because she was a narcissist before, she may have figured out the formula for online popularity - people love someone who’s “reformed” and “repenting”, and she may be just pretending a fair bit and projecting a persona

Take a call if you believe the transformation or not. But if she truly had changed, she’d be much more critical of past actions, IMO

That honestly seems about right for the type of person who would go on to start a self-empowerment girlboss podcast. Maybe my bias toward that niche, but seems like becoming an influencer in that space could be on brand for a narcissistic grifter or charismatic bully.

What podcast is this? Sounds familair

no, it's not but I don't want to send hate to her, if the one you're thinking about is from AU then you were right :)

Hello all. What questions are generally asked during system design round in case of interviewing for Frontend Developer roles (YOE 3 - 4 years, tech stack: React Javascript, React Native)?

At my firm the annual compensation call comes from one of the partners notifying you of your bonus and salary increase.

If I believe I am underpaid, when should I negotiate for a high salary? Should I thank the partner, and ask to schedule a follow up meeting in a few days? Should I mention right away that I am looking for a higher base? My ratings are always great.

My firm does not offer "bands", so it is difficult to know what colleagues are getting paid (I am using info from Glassdoor).

I’ve only slept with one person, my wife. I have not openly shared this with anyone because there’s a stigma that I “settled” or I don’t have numbers on the board like a man should. I’m not overly religious, so that was never a driver in the equation. I admit, I do think about the “what if” every once in awhile but I’m honestly getting to the age where I feel I’m beyond my prime anyhow.

My boss won’t stop sexually harassing me. Verbally, email, texts - 400+. He even set up his office with a display of sex toys and edibles condiments to show me that he planned to give me oral sex. All started 3 weeks into the job. I moved my family cross country for this job and just bought a house. He promises me none of his requests or my responses will affect my job and is just begging now to be friends with me. Tell me what would you do if you were me.
