Focus on areas of your work and personal life that you "can" control. Have balance, a backup plan, emergency fund, and secondary career in the works. Network with constructive and productive people, steer clear of the negative ones. Find the enjoyment in your work and put more energy into not only doing that, but communicating it as well. You can be part of the solution rather than the problem. If all that fails, then drink heavily.

One option if it is really bad is to get ahead of it and leave - I know not ideal but never worth letting work destroy your life. Good luck!

Hey I can feel you. But don't get stuck in that same situation. Get out and go for a walk, get some coffee or get involved in something that gives you happiness.

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

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’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years. I anticipate getting a promotion this year and would like to get closer to $60k for my base salary. I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions? Thanks in advance!
