I'm wading through it at the moment...I'm getting. through but just about. I booked quite a bit of time off in a month or two so I have something to work towards. And I'm having a lot of convos where I keep flagging that we do need more resource - people onky pay attention when you fall behind

At least you are looking forward to the PTO. Enjoy it!

Just tighten your seatbelt and full speed ahead. We have been short staffed for months and our team has really stepped up to the plate. It's not easy, but I am proud at how we have pulled together. The good news is, they have hired 2 for our team. Just waiting for the onboarding to be done and we will finally be fully staffed.

I feel like Covid just effectively made the business cheaper as they won’t hire more people but expect the world from us.

I’m curious. What would you say is the best industry / sector for…1. WLB, 2. Great people / team, 3. Exit opp’s., and 4. Overall (mix of the above). Goes without saying the obvious “it depends on office, team, project, client, etc.” So this is an ask for general observations.

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.

Current 8.85 as Security Consultant
Accenture 15.82 (13.3 fixed+2.5 variable)

My boss assigns projects with unclear expectations and provides no guidance on how to achieve them.

I've asked for help, and, to avoid a long post, she expects me to figure it out. Perhaps you go through this too, but when I don't have a clear guide on completing big projects, it paralyzes me because I don't know where to start. On top of that, I have anxiety, so "it has to be perfect".

Today I messed up doing a delivery. The client was expecting the supplies at 3pm in the warehouse, however, there was an accident on the highway and traffic was insane.
