Every time work gets overwhelming I start thinking about that show Severance and how wild it would be if I could just split my brain like that. Imagine walking in, doing the whole shift, and then the second you leave you have no memory of any of it. No stress following you home, no replaying conversations in the shower, nothing. Part of me wonders if that would be amazing or absolutely terrifying. Would you try it if it were real?

It is such a fascinating concept, but then I remember that the employees are basically slaves. Stuck only working and never actually enjoying their life, nor understanding what they work actually entails. Even my outie would feel bad about putting that kind of pressure on my innie.

I do what I can to forget my day once I get home, but it's often easier said than done. I remember having summer jobs that might have been fairly boring and unchallenging, but the good part was that no thoughts of the job came home with me. I miss that at times. Don't get me wrong, I like having a job that requires me to think, but I could do without thinking about it too much.

I dunno if I like the idea of splitting my brain…. I try to leave work at work, but don’t really mind if I think about it a little after hours.

That would be awesome, if it could only be applied to the issues of the work. I love what I do. But I’d be all for forgetting the drama

Hello fellow designers!

I was laid off back in August and I have been trying to get a product/UX/UI job ever since then. With the recession and all of the crazy things that are happening right now it has been even harder.

Is anyone hiring a mid-level Product/UX/UI designer?
I have 3 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and I am available to start working immediately! (Remote work is preferred since I live in Phoenix, AZ and there are not a lot of tech jobs here)

TIA ♥️

Pros: ?

Cons:
- culture deck is something else: if they think they can do better than you, they will just let you go

- they think they’re the Yankees: if you’re batting.385, but they think there is someone out there who can bat .400, you’re going to get fired

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.
