The reminder that someone is out there working to take my spot helps me remember that I’m working to move up and take someone else’s spot. That usually does the trick.

How often this happens? If often, maybe you have depression. If rarely, we all have productive and unproductive day.

I agree, give yourself grace. That quiet time can be very productive as long as it's not depression.

I enjoy laying in bed and doing nothing. It's great for my mental health to relax

Typically, I have work that is due and don’t want to get into trouble for not doing it. However, if that is not the case, I just accept the lack of motivation and make it an “on-call” day where I do nothing unless called upon.

This is the way. I was up from 230 to 7 this morning with my kid after going to sleep at 130. Had stuff that I knew I needed to do so I napped until 11 and knocked it all out. Finished at 5 and burnt 1.5 hours of sick time to make up the difference.

Those are the days I call in sick. If they're frequent definitely see your doc.

The son of the owner where I work has been coming to work with a gun showing it off to people.

The owner is mad and feels my case is biased and suspended me. He admitted guild and its not about what happened but why!

Hi, received an offer from another Big4 in Amsterdam (currently working in Eastern Europe), but relocating, I’m concerned about potential layoffs in the coming period being the last to join the team.

Negotiation in new offer: I’m moving from fully remote to fully in office (with chance of hybrid later) offer for associate director in quality in pharma for 170k base, 18% bonus and 75k equity. I’ve asked for a sign on bonus as I’m not eligible for annual next year and will be missing my current jobs bonus. I should hear tomorrow (asking for 28k). Thoughts about the offer? Should I ask for more equity or is that standard? They’re public (currently ~$20)should I get the hybrid option in writing?

Got hired 3 years ago- newly created staff accountant role with the plan that it’ll go into a senior and then manager role. 1.5 years in I get a title promotion to senior, told I’ll get more duties, start supervising AP, and get monetary promotion to match next year. Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP. Again, seeing nothing…time to leave?
