ADVICE NEEDED.

I have recently joined a company, and they are saying to use your personal laptop for office work.

I don't feel like using my personal device for office work.

How to tackle this situation without getting embarrassed.

What would you include about you on your bio as a late junior associate/early mid level? I feel like it’s important to flag what you work on, but also not like you have much control over that at this stage. Anything that’s a huge accomplishment to have done as a junior just feels braggy.

Colleague said “oh hello, who the fuck are you?” When I brought up what I guess was an unwanted opinion. This was years ago when I was more junior.

I work remotely for a small 9-person startup and my boss insists on daily 30+ minute meetings. It’s rare that there is an actual point. Usually, we just go around to everyone to discuss what we’re doing that day. I understand the importance of communication, but this is just wasting time and stressing people out.

In Seattle you maybe say hello to the person you buy your paper from and here I'm getting into discussions with people while I wait for a red light. Everyone is so nice but I'm exhausted! What's a polite way to say I can't talk right now?
