Definitely feeling the drain! I loved teaching virtually last year. The in person behavior issues & constant redirections are draining- I miss the mute button!! 😉

I can definitely understand the drainage factor, but for my specific student population, it is SO much easier and more productive to teach them in person. Really struggled wth regular student attendance and completion of work tasks last year.

Definitely struggling. I didn't anticipate that I'd like working from home so much. I am considering looking into jobs at online schools.

Working from home definitely has its bonuses.when I was home for some of the year last year, I got a lot done! Having my school schedule at home helped me to plan my time. I was able to repaint and redecorate my master bedroom, bathroom. I worked on it during my plan and lunch periods. The only downside was not seeing the kiddos in person. That was hard for me. I did enjoy sleeping in until 7:15 instead of getting up at 5 am!

I retired at the end of last year, and even though I’m not there, it would be draining after last year.

Virtual was exhausting and in person is now exhausting, but the toughest is the concern about safety and the thought that we constantly have to change without notice and without a plan.

Currently struggling with lack of motivation. I’m in my 3rd year at my firm and when I started I was hitting 9+ billable per day before I left the office. Now, the saying: when there’s no consequence for poor work ethic, and no reward for good work ethic, there is no motivation” hits home. Over the past two years I’ve seen the opposite of indispensable employees. Yet, they sit at the same table as I do and make more. Any advice?

Can someone help me understand why people are pumping crazy money into DoorDash and AirBnb but didn’t go equally Gaga for Palantir?
Don’t get me wrong, I like DD and Airbnb, but the $100+/share seems odd to me given that both are susceptible to regulatory and overall consumer confidence. I was able to buy into PLTR for $11/ share fwiw and think that company has better long-term upside prospects.
But again, would love to better understand the DASH and ABNB mania. Feel like I’m missing something
