TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU Got fired for asking for a raise

Not today but a couple weeks ago. I was at this company for over a year (first 3 months with a temp agency). I was a Production Team Member on paper. They had me running the area I was in as a trainer for new temps and as a lead, directing the team what to do. I also was handling inbound orders and parts inventory. Everyone was expected to train new people at this company so I wasn't concerned about that. However, the responsibilities of a lead, handling orders and parts inventory are responsibilities that were put directly on me. I also learned Google Sheets specifically to improve their spreadsheets and make them more user friendly when looking up parts or seeing what we had in inventory. I designed brand new sheets and implemented processes that improved productivity across all of production. After a year, I asked some of my coworkers and they agreed that with everything I do, I should be making much more than I was. I wrote a well thought out and detailed message to my boss explaining why I felt a raise was justified at this time. After meeting with him a couple times, my raise was declined. I was told that my pay rate is competitive. To be honest, I'm not good at handling my emotions when the unexpected happens. So when this information hit me like a freight train, I broke down. I went home and spent the weekend trying to understand. When I got it on Monday, I decided I would do the job I was paid to do and not all the extra that I wasn't being compensated for. I requested a meeting with my boss to explain where I stand on this. After lunch we went into a meeting and I was told I'm not a culture fit and got fired. Now, over 2 weeks and 60+ applications later and I can't even get an interview. TLDR:Requested compensation for additional responsibilities, got declined, "quiet quit", got fired, can't find work now.

UPDATE FOR CLARIFICATION I didn't ever get a chance to tell my boss I was quiet quitting. That day I went about doing my job and nothing extra. I was planning to talk to him about it but instead of getting the chance in the meeting, I got fired.

TIFU almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by shopping on Amazon

So I have an Amazon account, and a family. Anyhow, the person I'm seeing likes to do things with me... try new things if you know what I mean 😏 Recently I've ordered a few packages with adult toys, swing, etc. And... clone a willy. It came in yesterday while I was out. While I was out I got a notification that the cloning kit came in. I sent my son a text asking him to bring my Amazon package in. He said he had already. I didn't think much of it. Until last night when I went to go... use it. I asked my son where the package was on my way out the door. He asked "The plant stand or the cloning kit?". Mind you, the boxes DO NOT say what the contents are, nor were they opened. He must have realized what he said because my face is a goddam story book. I just stood there silent and shocked. He pointed towards the closet. This has been going on for ages, but he has NEVER indicated knowing what's in the packages. So now my teenage son knows his mom is a freak. ...
