Anyone else find that the company jams 5 days of work into 4 days anytime we get a 3 day weekend? Is the day off even worth it?

No, I find that they just call it a 3 day weekend and assume you’ll still work it if you need to (which is often)

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
