Anyone else been thinking about flexibility and WLB at work lately? Not just remote vs. in-office, but how you actually structure your day and get things done without burning out. I am grateful to be WFH, but I struggle to peel myself away from my desk at the end of the day.
Sometimes it feels like I'm just constantly living in work mode.

Yes. WFH was less flexible because of me. I was the problem. You have to set your boundaries, stick to them. That goes for every job, whether in the office, etc. WLB is what you do.

Honestly, no. When I wfh (currently hybrid) I’m out when I’m done, there’s no pressure to look busy towards the end of the day bc others are around. Log off on time, work will be there tomorrow.

Nope, i fully switch off when im done. I treat it as no other work day to be honest! I actually find it so much easier to switch off as im in my own home :)

It might depend on your specific job, but what I try to do is really lock in for the first 4-5 hours, then coast in the afternoon. Then I have no reason to stay after hours and can leave on time without feeling behind

Always about boundaries

Hi, how do I make sure that the AWS AutoPredict in the AWS Forecast module makes use of the RTS (Related Time Series)? In my previous iteration it took the RTS and the accuracy was good, but after I made a few updates to the underlying data the accuracy has come down and AutoPredict is not making use of the RTS.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
