Have you ever had to hide parts of your personality just to survive at work? I used to love being goofy, bringing energy to meetings, and making work feel fun, but now I play it safe, keep it quiet, and barely make eye contact. It’s like I’m slowly disappearing. Has this happened to anyone else? How do you find enjoyment in your days?

Yes, for sure. I feel like a part of me is dampened

Absolutely, I think this is common now. A lot of people feel like robots.

I'm looking to switch from criminal prosecution to in house. I have a 13 year background in healthcare and white collar fraud investigations. I'm looking to limit litigation (I've tried enough cases) and hopefully increase pay switching from government.

I am getting summarily rejected from a lot of postings and I'm wondering if it's even possible to switch over. Anyone make the jump or have advice on doing work to make the transition?

Dubai people I live in Marquise Square tower and my neighbor is having a party literally every day till 4-5 in the morning- I spoke to him and he apologized and promised to keep it quiet but he didn’t. So I spoke to the security if they can tell them to calm down and the security said that he can’t do anything as it’s the weekend! Is that normal or should they give me a noise compliance and force him to stay quiet after some time.
