Boss is giving me an ultimatum for tomorrow, step down from management or be terminated. It’s my moms 60th birthday I’m sick AF can’t help do anything

I dont really get you.
You claim "My boss isn't exactly thrilled about my absence, and let's just say my management position isn't looking too secure anymore. I might be trading in my managerial hat for a more... let's say, "entry-level" role."

And your thoughts go to:
"If this was 10 years ago…or heck if I was 10 years younger I swear I would just go find a fight right now, and just grapple the whole time."

You talk about having money issues and not being able to buy your mom a Bday present.
yet spend most of the post talking about your grappling or lack of it.

You are all over the place.


If I had a shitty boss and problem making ends meet, I would focus on fixing that.
Not thinking about my grappling from 10 years ago and what could /should have been.
Grappling is not going to fix your problem.
this is sherdog, i thought all you guys were top athletes. its very important to him, give him a break okay. hes telling yall he cant fight now. sad to see these days come.

I have never bought a present for my parents (helps to have them 12 hours away) and they love me to death.

Presents are overrated. You are already making an effort by paying her phone bill while you are short of cash.

Also all the mumble about being cheated on and that girl and your grappling.. gtfo with that bullshit.


BTW.. what the fuck you are only 32.. fucking kid

Buddy what are you hoping for here?

Advice? Motivation? Commiseration? Fighting techniques? Money?

Please don't say sympathy and empathy because the internet is the last place you should look for that.
 
At 32, you're basically.a child, but you have decided to act like a washed up old man.

Nothing about this is complicated. Decide what you want, make a plan, and redirect your energy at following it instead of moping and whining.

In the meantime, tell your mom you love her and you wish you could afford to buy her an amazing gift, but can't afford it this year.

Idk, I think he solved his own problem. He should obviously challenge his boss to a naked grappling match. If he wins, he gets to stay in management.

Also, every job should have sick leave. I can’t believe that in 2025, when the top 1% own 30% of the nation’s wealth, people still have to work jobs with no paid sick leave. It should be the fucking law.

I would suggest a money prize too.
but then I remembered TS is broke and also wanted people to sponsor his going to the movies..
Was it with a chick or his mom? I cant remember.

Wait no paid sick leave the fuck?
 
Only on the internet do you hear healthy, 30 year olds thinking they are old. TS: get the fuck off internet and live life, you are quite young. You don‘t have health problems I believe ? Your situation can be changed and improved.

And why on earth could you not compete in BJJ? I am 45 and compete in judo. And I can tell you I am never the oldest one on the mat. Two months ago a 55 year old sasaed me to death in a competition.

Your problems are amplified by your perspective, and I think the cause is the internet.
 
Can't you go to the doctor and get FMLA? As long as it's legit sick and not a cold or something.

Losing a job ain't the end of the world. Cut your expenses as much as you can. Never quit, and always get fired so you don't screw yourself out of unemployment.

Then work under the table teaching a kid's class at a local gym because they can always use some training partners their size anyway.
Fuck my lame ass?
