You don’t. You wouldn’t be human if you could. Just do your best.

Best comment.❤️

I try not to use Workday.

I'd say drink some coffee and try intentionally leaning further into work. Starly busy to avoid thinking about outside issues.

At the same time, you gotta solve those other issues at some point...

At this point I welcome it. This needs to be painful so we learn our lesson.

Honestly once I get focused and busy at work it helps me forget the outside worries

Depends what it is. Work can often be a welcome distraction to other stuff going on.

At the end of the day, focusing on what you can control and letting go of what you can't is the best approach. The only thing you can control is your reaction to the uncontrollable.

I am so busy at work, i don’t even know what’s happening outside.

What exactly do you mean by happening outside? wars, famine, school violence…or anything specific or family related?

My problem is the reverse: how to keep work from ruining my life.

Hi!

I recently did a job interview and I made it clear to the HR my expectation salary is 60k a year, non negotiable.
Today I got the job offer and they are offering me 54k. My current company is making me 50k with tons of benefits which is why I am asking for 60k.

Should I accept the offer or renegotiate?

Child care when traveling for work should be expensable… also dog boarding… I cannot get over how things like first class seats and any meals for higher ups, dry cleaning, ubers/lyfts over cheaper options, etc. all are expensable but essential costs you need to foot when traveling like child care and dog boarding are not expensable. I wish we had a per diem like allotment rather than actual costs so we could use money left over if we choose cheaper options so we could use the money we save
