Man Gets $2/Hour Raise 👦 After Calling Boss’s Bluff 🌊 On FiHired Threat
Years ago I had a thankless labour / service job with a pretty unappreciative boss, got lots of stories.

One morning I roll into the office about 7:25, and get a dirty look from the boss as I head to the dispatcher's office to collect my day's work (supposed to be there for 7:15). I'd actually been working until about 1:30 (c. 18 hour day) the night before, and was thinking that only being 10 minutes late wasn't bad. When I got my stack of papers for the day, I let out one of those low groans, and said, "you've gotta be s #' #'[ng me!", it was going to be another long day. Boss takes that as his chance to call me out in front of the rest of the office: "Hey, if you're going to show up late and then complain about work, we don't need you around here, you're fired". Dunno if he thought I would apologise for coming in late and ask to not be fired, but I knew that I could have a new, equally crappy job before the end of the day. So I called his bluff, and handed over my clipboard and walked away. He must have looked through my work for the day, and realised that he didn't have anyone that could do what I could do and with the labour market crunch, he just didn't have anybody. On my way out to my car, I stopped and started chatting with my buddy and the dispatcher, having a smoke. Boss comes out and tells me to meet him in his office so we can discuss my attitude. I said, I'm not going to your office, I just got fired, my buddy and the dispatch are shocked, buddy says: "you know he pulled 18 hours yesterday, and 15 the day before that", dispatch says: "why did you fire him, we've got no one to do his run today!". Boss is taken a little aback and says: "I didn't say you're fired, I said you're FiHired", so here's your route for the day. I say "well, if I just got hired, we should talk about my starting wage", and that's how I got a $2/hour raise.

Edit
Anyone complaining about it 'only being $2 /hour': starting pay was $9 /hour, plus $1 /hour bonus if you didn't skip a shift, didn't break anything etc, so $10 /hour as a swamper if you got your bonus. Got bumped to $12 /hour ($11 + $1) when you started driving truck, and you could get more from there as you worked your way up, I think the top end was $16 or $17. So for me, as a young guy, getting bumped to $13 + $1 was a big increase. Also, this was around 2003 - 2004, and minimum wage was like $6.00.

AITA 🌗 for chasing a kid and attempting to 🕌 take my child’s toy back?
My daughter is semi non-verbal. She is 3 and can say “Mama” and “Dada”. But she mostly says sounds like “ehhh” when trying to communicate. I bring her to work with me because she is very behaved and quiet (because she is semi- nonverbal). I work at outdoor events like Farmers markets or festivals. I set up my stand, and I have a little table and chair for her “stand” too. She puts her toys out and works her booth like me. It’s cute and other kids go to her booth and play with her. This particular time, she had some busy toys and a bubble maker wand she just brought back from the beach.

She doesn’t mind any of the kids playing with them, but then 2 boys maybe around 8/9 came and were roughing up the toys. They were banging the wand on the table and my daughter was saying “Mama, ehh ehh ehh”.

I asked them to please play nice with my daughter’s toys and they yelled No. I said okay then, I am going to put them away until they leave. They said it’s their toys now and ran.

I ran after them with my daughter in my arms, and a woman came out of know where and grabbed my arm. She screamed “what the hell do I think I’m doing chasing her sons”. I told her to never touch me and her sons were stealing my daughter’s toy. She said I am a grown adult and I shouldn’t chase children, and her sons can play with that toy if they want to. I said I had no issue with them playing with it until they started banging it on the table and said they wouldn’t give it back.

She said “well, they can continue playing with it and will return it when they are done.”

I said that doesn’t work for me and I took the toy back from her son’s hands and walked away. I heard her call me a f__king b__ch as we’re walking.

My sister thinks it was wrong for me to take the toy back. But I honestly was frustrated and wanted done with her and kids. We put the toys away until after we saw she left .

Am I the a__hole or f__king b__ch?

Edit to add
My “chasing” consisted of me briskly walking with my daughter in one arm, with my other arm flailing in the air “hey give that back” lol. They were about 20-30 feet in front of me.

Also my daughter was in my arms because after she said Mama, I picked her up because I saw she was holding back tears.

Stepmom Requests 🖤 Sick Son 🙆 Stay With Bio Mom To Protect Chronically Ill Daughter
I (f36) am married to “Matt” (38) he has a son “Dylan” (8) from his previous relationship while I have my daughter “Abby” (10) from mine.

Matt and I have been together for 4 years and married for almost a year now. I love Dylan like he's my own and consider him as my son. He's a sweet little boy. Matt and his ex have 50/50 custody one week we’ll have Dylan for 4 days while his mom has him for 3 and vice Versa.

Abby’s dad passed before she was born so she's with us full-time. Abby also was born with a chronic illness and she has a really weakened immune system because of it and is even does online/homeschooled. I know things happen and people get sick but when Abby gets sick she always ends up being hospitalized because of it.

Yesterday Dylan’s mom called Matt letting us know he probably has the stomach flu because he's been throwing up and has a fever. Dylan hadn't been with us for 2 days at that point and when he left our house he seemed perfectly healthy. I ended up talking to Dylan’s mom wondering if he could stay with her until he’s better so Abby doesn't possibly get sick.

Dylan’s mom knows about Abby’s health but still insists Abby will be okay I can just quartine them both to their room until Dylan is better. That wouldn't be fair to either kid plus I would be around both of them and could possibly cross-contaminated to Abby.

I asked Matt to talk to his Ex and he tried but she then accused Abby being favored over Dylan which isn't true Abby just has more needs health-wise. Dylan’s mom then called me a AH and Matt is saying we should just try and have Dylan come back here. I want to stand my ground for Abby’s health eveb though I'm being a “AH”

AITA for not ⛰ wanting to split my 📣 inheritence with my half sister?
My parents divorced when I was 2. I am now 18, and until about three years ago I would spend summers and every other holiday with my dad. Most of that time was also spent with his parents, my grandparents.

My mom remarried when I was six to my stepdad, who is like my actual dad to me since my biological father is a POS and was abusive. They had my half sister a year later who is now 12. I refer to her as my sister, and introduce my stepdad as just "dad".

My grandparents on my biological father's side are very old, and honestly probably won't be around for much longer. I haven't seen them in three years and have very limites phone calls with them, always on my mom's phone with her sitting next to me. (They do not know this for certain but have guessed over the years).

Anyways, after I got off the phone with them the other day for one of our rare talks, the topic of inheritence came up. My grandparents are very well off, and I most likely will get quite a bit of money. I mentioned I will save it for a future house and to help with education costs, since my parents will not be giving me any aid for schooling fees.

That, turns out, was the wrong thing to say, because my parents immedietely started demanding that I split half of it with my sister. I didn't refuse, because I know better and I was honestly just shocked at their reaction. I didn't really say anything.

Their logic is that every time I had to go away to visit them, that my sister had to go without having her big sister and that she had faced a lot of difficulties with the situation. They also said it isn't fair that I would be getting all that money and she wouldn't have anything.

I love my sister. If she needs help paying for college or rent when she is older I will give it to her no questions asked. I would have given some of the money, maybe not half and maybe not just deposited in a bank account, but she would get anything she needed. What I'm angry about is being TOLD what to do with my money, as if they've been counting on this for a while, and I'm tempted to bring it up again to sort that out.

TLDR I'm getting a big inheritence, and have been told by my parents that I have to split it with my half sister. AITA for not wanting to?

Edited to fix some typos

Edited again to clarify. The money I will give my sister will be set aside, to be specifically used for education or expenses she has while in college. I would not be giving her a huge sum. Also, I have no idea how much of my grandparents'...
