Feeling incredibly depressed and unfulfilled at my job, but I’m stuck here until my lease is up. What are some things y’all do to feel more happy and fulfilled when you aren’t getting that from work?

You’re never stuck. Sublease, AirBnB, tell a new job you need costs for lease break covered (sometime relocation fees can even cover that), tell your landlord you’re moving out of state. Life’s way too short to be so unhappy at a job it’s affecting your mental health so much

Leave the office on time, enjoy the summer Fridays, get a hobby, learn a new skill (e.g. I started learning an instrument), write down positive things at the end of the day, hang out with your friends as much as possible. Or even better: talk to your boss and stress out the issue so you can resolve it and discuss a growth plan, if not leave the place and find a job that truly excites you.

Hobbies and sports. Before you had a desk job, ask yourself what you used to do for fun?

Explore your options. Find a roommate to subsidize your rent, sublease the place, or put your stuff in storage and move home for a few months if that’s an option and then look aggressively for other work. Get your heart rate up everyday and do something physical for 30 minutes. For me that’s running. Realize you’re not alone and many of us have been where you are. Explore your options, feel FREE and you will unearth a whole new life that you love. It’s all possible.

Take the mental space to invest in yourself: hobbies, skills, so the stuff you used to excuse away with "if I had time I would..."

A job which is not particularly taxing can be a gift of sorts. Take advantage!

Don't look to your job to meet those needs. While it's great to be engaged intellectually, only you can make yourself happy. Adulthood can be a soul-crushing buzzkill at times.

Hi guys, urgent suggestion regarding feeling overwhelmed at work

I don't know why but lately since the second wave of the pandemic has started, I have been feeling very overwhelmed at work. My manager is mostly a supportive and smart person but due to recent changes in teams his workload has also increased a bit.

I don't know if its work or just the pandemic but sometimes even looking at emails feels dreadful.

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.

Ladies, I have a townhouse that I'd like to rent out furnished. I'm looking to do long term, but having trouble finding a property management company that will do this (they all say unfurnished). I would like to find someone to manage it for me as I will be out of state. Anyone here rent out properties and have any suggestions on how to go about it or recommendations of property management companies? I'm in Colorado if that helps. Thank you!
