I’m in the same boat OP. I was doing okay this morning then went for a walk post lunch and now I’m exhausted. I’m trying to make a realistic todo list of what I can get done today (3-4 small tasks) and rewarding myself with a break after I complete each one. It’s still not easy to do them

Would love some thoughts on what title structure makes the most sense for my agency /translates within the advertising industry. Our Project Management dept was pretty flat until recently.

Now would be the time to change it within our dept if we’re ever going to. Currently we have: (see comments)

Asking for advice: Hi ladies, how do you tell your SO that you want private time with your friends/colleagues? For context, my SO and I have been living together for 2 years. He doesn’t have a lot of friends and is a quiet type. His current friends are all our mutual friends. We do enjoy spending time just us two a lot, especially during this pandemic. However, I do have a group of colleagues/friends that I’m close to and usually prefer to hang with them seperately. (cont. in comment)

A friend of mine was broken up with right as I was getting in a relationship. She’s very down so when we hang out, I typically don’t bring him up/share details the way I normally would. She’s only met him at 3 group events over 2 months & she’s been very accusatory of him if we show up late for any reason. It feels like she’s projecting all of her negative feelings onto him. I don’t want to walk away from a friendship, but it seems like she just wants me to be single again. Any advice?

I have had multiple guys leave me in the past because I make like 7K more...
