I caught myself laughing at a coworker’s bad joke in a meeting last week and thought, “wow, this isn’t even me.” Sometimes it feels like I’ve built a whole alternate version of myself just to survive in corporate. Do you ever feel like you’re acting at work instead of being yourself?

I've got an offer for Hamburg @ 5000 Euro monthly, currently based at 20.5 lpa and married with wife at 10 lpa.
What do you guys think, would it be a wise decision to move to Germany?

Mid-level when she's leading the call: please make sure you take notes. It's expected of the person not leading a call (note I always take notes)

Me(jr): asked to lead a call for a different deal as training. Mid-level doesn't take notes (also on call) and tells me it's the job if the junior to take notes.

Know this may be a long shot in terms of actual responses but:

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities.

The same boat? Stay safe!
