Never quit a job unless you have something else lined up. You think work is tiring...imagine being unemployed for months on end...

So sorry to read this

Just call in sick tomorrow and Friday. Have 4 days of chill. Chances are you'll be stir crazy by Sunday.

Do start looking for a new job. Never knee jerk quit without a plan.

With true burnout , 4-day weekend is not nearly enough unfortunately. Took me ~2 months of leave (zero work contact) to finally get even the inkling of an itch to want to get back on the horse (so I took an extra month further!). Full burn-out Fs you up…that said, I wish I had taken more sick days/extended weekends/mini-vacations (real ones without distractions/go-go-go mentality) exactly as you suggested before it got to the point that it did (naturally, problem with our industry is that impromptu leaves like sick days often add stress rather than reduce it; so I’d recommend pre-planned vacays). The other solution, which I’m following, is leaving consulting altogether after assessing, with a clear and calm mind, whether it really fits life goals and values (it doesn’t for me).

Don't quit the market is awful. Mass layoffs across the big 4 in multiple waves. This year might be the worst yet! Just keep your head down, do the bare minimum - if you're planning to exit soon anyway it doesn't matter if you get a bad rating this year. See your GP and get signed off work for 2 months, then get another 2 months after that. Get referred at work to your Occ Health team, and get them to support you... In the meanwhile off sick, look for new work and assess the market situ while you are still getting paid. Hope this helps! :)

Way to go!!!! 🎉🎉 look out for yourself, these companies never will

Hi all,
Need your advice. One of our worker’s wife is fighting cancer. We know that he needs to take care of her and work the same time to cover medical bills. So we decided to collect money for him. Should I do it secretly and only let him know after I’m done collecting money or should I get his permission first? I need to figure out which way would be less uncomfortable for him. Thanks!

Hey all, Happy Monday. Curious for feedback on how you've seen severance offers approached.

My prior companies have always been what I thought of as average: min of 2 weeks plus extra week for every year for ICs, min of 4 weeks plus extra week for every year for managers, etc. for Directors & beyond.

Current co refuses to offer more than 1-2 weeks, max. I had to go to bat recently for a 3 year + manager level only to get 3 weeks and my leadership team is NOT happy with me.
