Right? I do appreciate the general message of the caption, but don’t think she really needed to assure anyone that “their girl is following her heart”. I mean, ‘following her heart’ seems to be the sum total of her existence.

Elizabeth Gilbert seems like a love addict, who loves falling in love. The more complicated and slightly dysfunctional the relationship the better. I guess they make for better stories.

Elizabeth Gilbert “finds love” a lot.  A lot a lot.

Somebody should have mentioned that to him while he was laying there.

this is why I HATE the idea of having a guilty pleasure. just like what you fucking like, damn.

My boyfriend will complain every time I add a Real Housewives or Teen Mom to the DVR, but he watches anything about digging for gold or living in the wilderness. It’s the same thing. Only his is worse.

I’d like to know how much of the author’s husband’s discomfort is with a woman holding a man accountable for his shitty actions throughout this album.

Think about the term “guilty pleasure” and what’s often cited:  things women are “supposed” to like such as romantic comedies, pop music, chick lit.  Have you ever heard of anything masculine-coded as someone’s guilty pleasure?

The other day, my husband said to me, “I decided not to try to reason with you about buying Jagged Little Pill on vinyl and bought what was in our Amazon cart.” I gave him a pitying look and said, “It is an amazing album. You’ll see.You’ll see.”

I’m sorry. I just got a 3 out of 5 in my review and all my clients tell me I kick butt except one that said I was ok. I’ve also had a couple reviews in the past where I found out they were evaluating me on work I didn’t even do!

I read some of your other responses and you were not done right by your company. It sounds like at least one person recognized that so it’s a start? I honestly don’t think you should feel bad - they didn’t give you the information and tools you needed to succeed.
I hope they get their shit together and start setting…

My educated Jezzies guess is that you are FAR from a failure.   THEY tried to make you feel like one.   I get that.  Please continue to write us as you heal, grow and get a fabulous new position and new life chapter.  

One year ago I was fired from an abusive toxic organization run by a true sociopathic narcissist. The final review was indicative of a middle school Mean Girls bullying session. I felt depressed, anxious and my self esteem was almost completely knocked out of me. Fast forward to March 2019. I just returned from an…

I’ve only been fired once and it was because I accepted a compliment from a customer (nothing inappropriate, just someone I dealt with regularly who said the company should appreciate me and he felt I was family) and didn’t report it to management to be praised by them (their words). I also mentioned online I was…

Don’t let your value ever be set by others. You are as infinitely valuable as any other human being. Sometimes we just have tough road bumps on our journey. 

Oh my god, that’s an actual nightmare. I’m so sorry that happened to you.

Yeah, this happened to me several years ago at a previous job. My annual review was basically 90 minutes of criticisms about things I had never heard before. I was absolutely blind-sided. It was horrible, so incredibly painful. If I had been doing such a terrible job, my supervisor should have been working with me all…

Being fired (or getting badly reviewed, whether you deserve it or not) is terribly humiliating and demoralizing. I was fired from one job for basically hating my boss and showing it, so I deserved it but man, it was a serious blow to my ego. 

Exactly this! I received a TERRIBLE written review from my official “mentor” recently (I’m talking unprofessional, petty, non-contructive insults with a large helping of butt-hurt bitching) and it reflected more poorly on them than me. That same week, I was pulled off an exciting project because someone else didn’t…
