Does anyone else feel super guilty when you’re out sick? I’m at home with the flu and still taking conference calls. It’s not the expectation where I work it’s just me and my own issues. Help!

If it’s your natural inclination to work while sick, can’t see an issue with it. Everyone’s different. That said, it’s not normative behavior and many in this thread will likely tell you why this is problematic. You’re already sick, don’t stress yourself out over it.

If you’re truly sick, never feel guilty. The agency would probably lay you off in cold blood if it had to. If it’s a matter of making sure your work doesn’t get derailed or watered down then that’s a different story

Experience sharing on calories deficit -
I have a normal body build but want to lose a few pounds(especially around my belly). I am making visible progress now by eating less(work gets busy and I use that to forget about hunger), a lot of walking, have casein protein to feel less hungry. Diet is really what do the trick.
But there are drawbacks too - my energy level(especially around night time) drop significantly that the level of exercise I used to do feels hard (light/mid intensity)

Anyone struggling with imposter syndrome? When I worked for a very well known Fortune500 tech company I couldn't help but feel major imposter syndrome.

Everyday was a struggle and tried to keep myself small so no one would find out I was a "fraud." Looking back on it now, wiser and more experienced, I realized how detrimental feeling that way
