Does remote work make it easier to take a mental health or sick day, or do you find yourself working through illness (mental or physical) because you're "always available"?

Just because I’m remote it does not mean I’m always available. I’m not a doctor and am not here saving lives. Do not de-prioritize your wellbeing for a job.

Location doesn’t matter - remote vs in person. We ladies tend to always do extra. But you can’t pour from an empty cup so you must find easy to build yourself.

I find it easier to take a sick day since I’m home anyway and know I will make mistakes which need fixing after the fact, better to just take the damn sick day.

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.

I’m curious to know if anyone has experience working part-time in architecture? I have been working for large international firms in NYC for the past 10 years. So I work all day every day. My evenings and often the weekends are all absorbed by work duties. Working part-time would allow me to find a better balance, and carve out space for side gigs and eventually start my own firm. Any recommendations?
