Do self-care! Facetime with people you love. If you are a churchgoer, definitely check out what they have planned. Watch a cool movie. Eat popcorn. Have peppermint hot chocolate with something good inside. Buy yourself a special gift. Read a good book. Go visit the local homeless shelter - volunteer at a holiday meal - go visit the puppies and kitties at the humane shelter - thank God for whatever you have that is good.....Peace and blessings to you!

If there is a place that you can volunteer it might be very helpful for you and for people in need. Certainly it’s important to be cautious with Covid. You want to achieve an “attitude of gratitude!”

It is difficult but find something to do that you really enjoy, maybe even take a trip, and definitely eat your favorite foods!

Go somewhere chill like the beach. Some strangers are also friendly and welcoming. Who knows, you might make some new friends.

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international. So what do you feel a fair UK wage would be for the role? I love my job/team but the stress isn’t worth it for me atm. Thanks in advance!

How would you handle this logistics of this meeting? (Timing - after the offer but with time before you start? How to phrase the reason why?)

Thanks! 🔅☺️

Too many cooks in the kitchen

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!

I am on a stress leave. Every time I look at emails from work, the less encouraged I am to return. It is so overwhelming! I want to finish out the year, but will definitely not be making it back next year. So many things have changed, and next year there will be all kinds of change and turmoil. I am sad to be leaving on such a low note. I always envisioned retiring at the top of my game, having a party...etc...

Regardless, my professional self perception and confidence is so rattled as of late, it’s almost like a paralysis at times. I realize there are much larger problems right now, but if anyone has any tips or advice to get over this, I am all ears. Thanks all!
