How do you create mental boundaries between work and everything else? I feel like I’m always just wondering if I should log back on or about how much work is waiting for me the next day or after the weekend or PTO.

The balance app has worked well for me and I’m not really into that woo woo stuff.

What balance app? Woo woo?

I tried and I got labeled a slacker lol. So be on top of your game lol

Same. Tried to set boundaries after recent medical concerns and was terminated. Wish I wasn’t such an overachiever because there’s people on my team who suck and did half the work I could do in the same time frame but yet their slacking is ignored even though their realization is worse.

Since we're headed towards cold weather and the holiday season, let's talk about how we can take care of ourselves during the fall/winter and beyond. For example, I'm buying a sun lamp because it's about to be 50 degrees and raining for 6 months 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors. The pay is good but I’ve seen a handful of websites with employee rating that is really bad. Each site has roughly 10 reviews but most are negative. Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.
