End of the week and I am more tired from thinking than from the actual job. Not because work is bad, just because everything outside of it feels uncertain. How is everyone feeling this week?

I can relate to this, I've had kind of a general anxiety for months, but all the news about the war and the economic impacts really has me rattled. I keep seeing stories about layoffs, and I worry what we're going through now will soon seem like the good old days. It looks like the price of gas may keep going up, and the domino effects of that could be disastrous. Oh well, at least it's Friday, that's something I suppose.

I feel that same background anxiety sometimes. It is not always the job, it is everything around it. I try to limit how much news I take in and focus on what I can control day to day.

I’m feeling pretty beat up and frustrated if I’m being honest. It’s not even the work itself that is so stressful. But it’s everything’s happening around work and around the globe right now. I don’t understand how so many people are acting like this is normal.

I'm in Silicon Valley, and been in the industry for about 15 years now. Fell into the corporate in-house role and been in those ever since. I primarily do marketing/brand design.

Does anyone have any advise for how to advance in corporate environement while keeping the integrity of creative alive?
