Do you ever get so exhausted that you're unable to get excited about your day off? I work customer service and the general public exhausts me. The thankless nature of the job has made it almost impossible for me to enjoy my off days. There's got to be a better way! How do you manage this feeling if you're in the same type of job?

I'm right there with you. I also have split days off so all of my time off is been running errands and doing laundry and keeping my life together so I can go right back to work the next day. It's like I'm never actually off work. I don't really have any tips for having to manage it because I'm struggling with that myself.

Oh that sounds rough! That would definitely be hard to manage.

Pretty much every time I have one. I have all these grand ambitions about everything I'm going to get done. And then the actual day rolls around and I can't find the energy to drag myself off the couch.

Exercise. I used to work 50-60 hours a week as a GM for a high end brand. Massive flagship store over two floors with 20 staff. 6 day weeks were normal and I managed to do that for 8 years and going to the gym saved my life, mentally and physically. My general energy sky rocketed and was a lot more active and up for being productive, even when I was exhausted. I also did a year of going out a lot after work when I was single and even though it was aLOT of fun but wrecked havoc on my body and mind

I'm going to try it!

It is really hard to turn yourself off from a job like this because a lot of conversations stay with you. I guess you will attain that level eventually with practice.

Can a company find out if you start to work for another company? Also, is it really a conflict of interest if you work for both companies in the same position, but the companies are in a different field (e.g. pharmaceutical and social media)?

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

Work doesn't have to cater towards someone else's structure constantly. Find what works for you.

Being good at your job includes knowing how to maximize your efficiency, from knowing what times you are most productive, creative, responsive, and energetic.

Examples: Working remote vs. in office, scheduling important meetings in the morning vs. afternoon, creating more break times to walk around

I broke up with my EX mainly because the relationship with my child and her was not the best, it sucks but I have to look out for my child, So far I am able to do the things I can do now. It is not the I am not Hoeing around but the simply fact that I can hang out with friends and go watch my son play baseball is a great feeling now. I feel at peace now, in somewhat of pain because of the breakup but I am at peace now.

Recruiter rescheduled a call thrice and then stood me up. They reached out after the call apologized with a non apology (thought our call was x pm instead…) and then proceeded to ask if I am available for a call.

Should I tell them I am no longer interested or not burn the bridge and take the call?
