Fell into a deep depressive suicidal hole and missed work for two days. Honestly surprised I woke up the second missed day, took a bunch of pills. Now need to face family and work. Don’t know what to do next.
What do I even say to my manager? Do I just show up and not say anything? How will this hurt my career?
My family I know it would hurt but I can be honest there at least. Plan to speak to family once I can come to terms with being alive.

Hi Folks,
What's reviews of Publicis Sapient. Like work culture and if there is hiring firing culture
I am from ETL background and knowledge of Hive and basic spark and I will be working on cloud(attended training only, consider near to no knowledge) and spark development.
Will you suggest me to join there?

Technology stack may be good for me but it will be new & challenging for me.
I am scared to join there because of job security and work life balance can be dying ( I can stretch not daily?

It’s funny - I’ve been rejected so many times in my short career. But when it happens, I still feel a small sting. Just got dinged from an interesting role - how do you deal with the aftermath?

I’m dealing with a difficult management situation and don’t know what to do, how would you report someone when nobody really cares what’s going on or is automatically going to side with the other person?

I've been working remotely for the past two years, and it's been great. I love working from home and being able to watch my kids grow up through their eyes as they play around me. But sometimes, when you're in this kind of situation, it's hard to know what to talk about with your coworkers.

For those who took Prednisone as part of an FET, how long did you take it? At what week of pregnancy did you stop/wean off the medication?

I used to be a special Ed teacher and changed careers to an executive assistant at BMO after facing major burnout from teaching. Now that I’m a first time mom, i really want to work part time or even .75, but I do not want to go back to teaching right now. I am thinking of tutoring- any suggestions on private tutoring vs. tutoring companies?

AoA brothers and sisters. Ramadan Mubarak. As we go through this COVID pandemic, I see comments from different folks regarding job security, reduced projects etc. (Continued)

For those who take anti-anxiety meds, how do you handle busy season when the pills make you feel tired?

I need some advice. I am the chief science officer for a genetics company. The CEO recruited me with the intent of giving me ownership. He still hasn’t and it’s been a year. How can I approach this. He is very emotional but I also love what I don’t and see incredible potential

I know there are lots of mixed feelings on working with MediaMonks on projects, but does anyone have experience working *for* them? Good? Bad? Work life balance? Do you have to call yourself a monk😂?

Hi, I want to understand what is the role of a GM role in EVS Caps 16? To be specific, I wish to know
- What kind of projects do they undertake?
- How often do they have to stretch?
- How's work life balance?
- What's average annual hike?
- Is this a learning opportunity? If yes, how
Lastly, is there any near term plan to work from office on a permanent basis?

Which one should I join societe generale or Accenture? Both give more or less same fixed and VP.

I know both are different and not comparable since one is captive and other is service based.

Thanks!

Who has made the switch to Snapsheet as an estimator? How is the environment and culture?

How hard is it to switch into a different area of law ?

I’m a first year litigation associate who wants to go into public interest in NYC. Does anyone know of any NYC based non profits that would sponsor a TN (or H-1B) visa? Feeling very trapped in corporate law and it’s making me miserable.

I’ve been in biglaw for 3 years and throughout I’ve spent the entire time remembering how much more fulfilled I felt when I was working in my schools immigration law clinic.

Let’s take a poll: What do you love/hate about your position in Insurance? I’ll go first:

Florida PIP Litigation 1+yrs at Progressive

Love: WFH, Flexibility of not being “chained to desk” all day because I don’t have to take outside customer calls, ability to complete work assigned at any time of day within 72hrs, no micromanaging from my Supervisor, feeling like I’m my own boss

Hate: getting assigned bulks from others and it throws off efficiency of reviewing suits, monotony, depositions

looking for a sublet for the summer, where is a good place to look?

What are typical hiring trends at Google? Assuming a surge in Q1 and slow down in Q4. Also curious about trends in prod ops/strategy if there is nuance around that

Anxious for my brother who lives in Downtown Atlanta and has to go into work tonight. Really want him to be safe amidst the riots. Please please be safe 😭

Got (negative) feedback on something I’ve been consciously trying to improve 😔
Feels like such a set back and I just want to quite, but I know it’s not a possibility. So I guess I will just hire....

Any 🐠 have bipolar? How do you handle the emotional swings when you’re in an episode? I’m medicated and had a lot going on that I’m pretty sure I hit a depressive episode bc of all the stress from work and out of work. I hardly have energy. I get upset easily. I’ve been crying randomly. I just hate how my emotions control me so much and I just feel like I’m at the whim of everything. 😞 I feel so helpless and worthless right now and I don’t know what to do

I want to know if anyone else feels like I do: I’ve been on 3 projects (1.5 years) and don’t feel “liked” or valued. I try to authentically connect with others and do my best work on every project team, but nothing seems to work. Even more frustrating are consistently subpar performance reviews, which make me doubt myself and my intelligence/worth. I feel absolutely useless here and can’t operate from a deficit. It’s like I’m like a fish trying to be a bird. Please help, what should I do?

Been feeling pretty great the last few days. Was able to reflect a bit and this Summer/Fall up until about a week ago were some of lowest points I’ve felt in my life. I’m glad I’m doing better now but looking for ways to better manage my emotions. I don’t want to have these extreme highs/lows. Any advice?

Does anyone get depressed on a sort of seasonal schedule? Not like SAD, but in cycles throughout the year that seem to track to the same time period each year.

I love spring and summer, but every March, my depression gets significantly worse for a few weeks. I usually have a second dip in August/September. I’ve yet to identify a trigger, only a pattern…

For the last couple of months I’ve been dreading going to work. So bad that there have been days I purposely went to work late to limit my time there. This job is draining and I don’t feel (contd)

When I was little, I used to lie in bed looking at the ceiling and I would get this overwhelming feeling that the future was meaningless. I felt this pressure around me and an empty feeling inside like the one you get when going down on a rollercoaster. I used to cry myself to sleep back then. Haven't felt like that for a couple of years now.

Seeking advice in case someone else feels this way. I left a job I was comfortable with for money last fall to something that has caused me lots of anxiety. Ever since, my anxiety and (suspect depression) has skyrocketed. All I think about is work. I’ve lost all hobbies and most interests. It’s funny because the new job is in industry so my wlb is better but it’s such a high visible/high pressure role. I’m in therapy & on meds and I want to feel like myself again. Not someone always focused cont

Honest discussion about burn out: it is with you for the long run.
I burnt out at my last job and the job before that and now I’m at a really good firm that has no set billable hours and a really manageable workload, but it’s still difficult to get any work done. It will take a long time to fully recover from burn out.

I have a lot of regrets and they tend to eat at me. I feel better about them over time but I still get depressed about it. Anyone have experience with dealing and processing regrets?

How are people coping with being made redundant during lockdown? I'm becoming even more anxious and slightly depressed that I'm going to be another year older but another year further away 😢

My boss called me and let me know a client doesn’t want me on their project any longer because they didn’t like my presentation skills. I prepped so hard and really put everything into it. Huge audience and there were a lot of questions - but I navigated as thoroughly and accurately as I could, with the time I had. He told me not to worry about it, that clients been awful for a while and it happens with other companies/colleagues. Only my 10th solo presentation ever - but I still feel awful.

I really just want someone to like me for me. I have never been in a relationship and I feel like I can’t connect with people the way I do with my friends. I haven’t felt truly alone until now.

When did you decide to get medicated? I have what I’d call “high functioning” depression and anxiety. See a therapist and all, but still deal with lows that seem hard to overcome for weeks on end - losing interest, hard to focus on work, sleeping difficulties, etc. Hard to tell when to make that decision!

Every week, I make a plan to study during the entire weekend but when it's time, I procrastinate until it's Sunday night and then regret wasting time. This had been happening for a couple of months -

My boyfriend is an amazing person, so patient and understanding. But sometimes I can’t help my emotions and tend to cry every now and then. I’m afraid he’ll get annoyed at some point and I’ll push him away.

Anyone have contamination (or other types) of OCD? Would love to get a group going!
