Anyone have experience working CWX side of Facebook (Meta) ? These are the full time contract roles that potentially turn into permanent roles directly with Facebook (Meta). Had a recruiter reach out and offering me comparable TC and such, just curious if anyone has experience in these roles and success/failure of transitioning into permanent role. Thanks in advance!

Covid really cured that for me. My guilt at staying home has basically disappeared and now I strongly encourage everyone to do the same when they’re sick. Why risk infecting others, and why stay sick longer if you can rest and knock it out faster?
I completely agree with this but sometimes I still have that nagging guilt in the back of my head.
I don't feel guilty if I'm truly ill. I'm a hard worker and my team knows it, so if I'm laid up to the point of not being able to come to work, there's never any hard feelings. I don't like having to do it, but it's ultimately better than trying to push through, getting even sicker and having to take more time off.
I think sometimes I just get a bit of imposter syndrome but with illness, like am I really ill enough to be taking time off right now?
I feel you on this. I always feel guilty and end up texting my team to check in. I wish I could be totally carefree, but I actually do care and want to make sure things are going smoothly. I don't think I get over the guilt per se, I just manage it and know I, too, need time away.
I think it’s good to try turn off entirely but I get wanting to message to see if everything is okay, sometimes it’s a bit of personal peace of mind
You are doing more of a favor for them by taking the time to get better instead of trying to barely get through the day. As somebody who used to work through being sick, I would sometimes end up making more work than I was doing.
Yeah I like to think that too, you’re not getting any better if you work through an illness and no one wants to catch what you have either.
I’m struggling with this at the moment- I had some holidays booked before my job and felt bad telling them about it- as long as they know ahead of time (for sickness as much time possible) !
There seems to still be be a stigma surrounding time off that I think is slowly disappearing but not yet fully gone!
