For those living with roommates who are basically strangers, do you ever worry about your stuff being safe when you're gone all the time? Do you keep a safe in your room for valuables & documents?

Meet with your potential roommate a few times before you decide to room together. It's easy to tell if you trust them or not at that point. I also did a background check on him before decidibg

On my 2nd roommate from Craigslist (each for a year lease) and never had any problems with theft. I don't have a safe, but I also don't leave valuable stuff out in common areas per common sense. With that said, I interviewed both people before letting them move in.

No. My first roommate and I exchanged emails and a phone call because I was overseas before moving in - she left me the key under the doormat :)

Well it's already past that point lol. My other roommate picked the other people so I actually haven't even met them yet

Need advice. Top performer. Team members have been leaving and I have a stupid amount of responsibilities. I’m not complaining about that but some were very swiftly transitioned while I was dealing with other work streams. TLDR: I am super burnt out and am one of two people who does any technical work. I randomly get forwarded emails from my lead about work steams that predate my tenure on the project. I can’t do it anymore and I’m losing my mind. I’m an analyst so don’t know what do.
