Went out on a date and was called a loser. I told her I appreciated everything in my life & now I’m a manager in big 4 and I’m happy with my life. She told me “you are only a manager in big 4 and how can you be happy? you should be working in the weekend to get to a better firm or at least be a senior manager at this age (33 yo). I’m really mad now.

She sounds like she has a ton of insecurities that she is projecting onto you; while holding out for the successful man that will never take her with an attitude like that.

Eff. Her. You lucked the eff out. She’s a loser.

Did u guys get into an argument before she said this to u or just straight brought this up during a normal conversation?

No wonder she’s still looking for mr right...

This is horrible!! Flee. 100p not you, it’s her. I don’t see why she’s judging you for defining success on your own terms and making it happen.

Also by any and all common sense means, she’s very out of touch if she thinks your title / company equates someone to be a loser

Sounds like the person I was dating when I went to buy my first condo, took them to see it and their response: "my first home has to have a yard" was so offended at the time, but crossed paths years later and let's just say karma is a bitch! 🤣

She is really insecure.

I’m appalled. Hopefully her social media/marketing job is fulfilling enough for her because it sounds like she’ll be alone for a while!

Haven’t you been following? She is a global financial manager or something!

Ok. She is dumb. Never ever see her again. Job tittles do not make a person. If she thinks that, well she is not the right person to be with even for an hour.

How about giving her back to how she made u feel... have u thought about ... use and lose?

mansplainer. Did she repeatedly say, “I’m speaking”? :-)

Check, please! Would you mind splitting the bill :)

Such a manager move!

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal.

This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??
