Gosh, after a work start like that, things could have only gotten better (I hope!). Congrats on your anniversary, here's for many more as so many people around your desk are tapping their fingers waiting for the next story impatiently. 😆
And oh, we are only 1 letter apart... I'm an INTJ ❤️
Hehe definitely an introvert, as in: I absolutely need my time on my own to recharge and balance. Too much socializing drains me and frustrates me. 🙈 But I think I am a *chatty* introvert, in the right group.
What a rollercoaster! I can't believe the nerve of people who scheme like that. Aside from how morally wrong it is, how stressful must it be 😭 It's definitely a right of passage to experience shady working scenarios. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger I guess. Congrats on your one year anniversary, always look forward to your posts!
I remember working for some dodgy content creation company in Dublin years back. Didn’t get paid for some articles I wrote and heard that the guy eventually got taken to court. You love and you learn 🫠
All I can say about scams is that a red flag is a red flag is a red flag. But Italians also are, as you know, kinda grey-area about many things... Use me as a sounding board if needed!
Yes, I loved it! Thank you so much again. I have it sitting on my desk 😍 Greece was amazing! It was still beautiful and warm. It is freezing in Berlin already. It is grey and rainy. Luckily, you have summer soon.
Congrats on one year! 🥳 I had a scam interview and worked for a real company that paid me that when I left I found out the director no longer practised as a lawyer because he’d scammed millions of pounds of people’s pension funds and may be on his way to prison. He may be in prison now but I have no clue. 😂 That office environment sure felt like a prison. They practically made you account for toilet time in a spreadsheet! Couldn’t even make a cup of tea myself without offering to the whole office like a waitress.
Thanks for sharing, though. The job sounded awful but very funny to read about. 🙈😂😅
Thank you!! !! At least you got paid!! Some people are horrible, how do you steal money and then make people track their toilet paper usage!? I hope he is in prison XD he sounds like he deserves it.
Congratulations on the anniversary!
PS: "2 of them are bots but we dont talk about that"😂😂
Thank you! and they truly are bots... I suspect is the same person behind. I am the naive one! lol
Wait are they bots or is it a person behind them? This is a plot twist!
Wow what a crazy experience 😂 makes for a good story now 😜 No wonder you felt good riddance to Italy!!
Congrats on your one year anniversary!! I hope you continue writing!
Thank you! Thank you! I agree, some events either haunt us, or become stories!
Congrats on the 1-year! To be honest, I am always fascinated by scammy people with that level of confidence. 😅
Almost inspirational, right? The ballsy confidence, the unquestioning attitude...

Right? I had such high hopes... but yes, things did get better once I left ;)
Thanks! I am planning to post a tad bit more often, we'll see how I go!
Also, I wouldn't have thought you an Introvert :O

That makes sense (also, best kind of introvert then!) :P I usually need an extra day off every time there's a weekend event so I totally get it

No no no nooo you're feeding into my perpetual fear of getting scammed in Italy. Anyway, brushing that aside, congrats on baby's first whole year!
Thank you!!

Congratulations on your anniversary! Thank you for the mention and it's my pleasure to recommend you.
Barb, I got your postcard. Thank you so much! I was so happy to see it in the mailbox when I arrived home from my holiday in Greece 🥰
Thank you! <3 I am glad the postcard made it to you! I hope the message resonated. How was your time in Greece??
