Take notes. Imagine you need to explain the whole meeting to someone. That person is actually future you.

Take a nap before. Pound Red Bull during. Turn the temperature down your house so it’s a little bit colder than normal. Keep all of the lights on. Eat a lot of snacks. Get up and walk around the room at least every half hour or so

Is every point being discussed in the meeting relevant to you? If not, tune into the important things.

when I'm at my limit in caffeine intake but I'm still tired, I do some jumping jacks and pushups to get the heart rate up

I don’t think it is a good idea to remotely join a whole day meeting. I would talk to project leadership team about it. There is almost no value to you or the team in the actual room. Actually, most likely it is going to create a bad experience for the client team. Especially, you need to be active during the meeting.

Pretty sure the saga of the slave driven company has come to an end I’m the only HR person at this company. Friday I had full admin rights, and went to check email Saturday; account locked. Payroll/HRIS locked out. PEO service says no pending termination is on my file. Went to the office today to get my things just in case. Located in CA. Was about to report numerous violations too. All because I couldn’t solve 8 months of payroll issues in a day. 🫠 Good riddance, I’m getting a lawyer.

Hi all - just joining and looking for some guidance! I am currently in an IT internship position (making pretty solid money considering) and following this summer I will stay on part time during my senior year (discussing a full-time job offer after already).
