Despite being armed with every form of digital communication known to man and access to enterprise licenses to three AI platforms, I’m sorry to announce that I still cannot be in four places at once. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Please stop quadruple booking me and pinging me relentlessly while I’m in a meeting. How does anyone get work done this way?!

My Chief Sales Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Engineering Officer do this (unread message - no eye icon). My CFO is the only guy who doesn't do it and his life is miserable. I have not told him. Let him figure it out.

Too many people have direct access in MS Teams and assume MS Teams abuse it as open door policy.

Well, you never divulged that during the interview....

This reminds me of my mother complaining she only had two hands.....😉

What a humble brag about being in demand 🙄

Definitely not the intent - I’ve been on the other side of this situation before. Just on an extremely project that is both understaffed and overstaffed at the same time.

Unfortunately common in corporate culture. Tough situation. Advocate the reality to your superiors respectfully and honestly. If they're good leaders will understand and work with you to find a solution.

Biggest issue is that our team and the client have a massive international presence which results in very few overlapping work hours each day. So we try to cram everything in to a small window and well, sufficient to say…it ain’t working.

Has anyone just taken a break from work without anything lined up? Every offer I’ve gotten wants me to start in a month and with 2 weeks notice that leaves me only 2 weeks to recharge.

This is super weird but I feel like I can’t relate easily to people. Hear me out - I moved and lived in different continents, countries every 5 years or so until now… I feel like I’m an outlier and my life is super different from anyone else’s. I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..
