I have nothing positive to say unfortunately - definitely depends on your line of work, but my health and finances took a massive hit just to sit on teams all day in a crummy setting. even colleagues in the office take zooms from their desks while in the same room because there aren't enough conference rooms that you can count on to have a working monitor.

About to. Kind of excited. New agency. Haven’t been in the office since 2020.

Agree being in an office isn’t great. Not enough meeting rooms, everyone taking loud calls at their desks. Music at an annoying level in the background so you can’t concentrate. People sniffing loudly, eating crunchy food at a desk next to you. Busy and crowded lift areas. Office etiquette is a thing of the past. No one tidying up after themselves. Where I work there’s a pool table in the communal kitchen, the noise from that carries into our space, it is ridiculous.

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.
