I always have to make myself a schedule for the week and a to-do list each day. It really helps me to have some sort of outline of what I need to do that week and have a place that I can keep track of where I am and cross things off as I complete them.

One thing that helps me is bracketing my tasks. I'll allot time specifically for the grouping, whether it's expense reporting, project invoicing, etc. It keeps me more efficient, not bouncing between tasks (which sometimes can't be completely avoided, but it helps). I also try to schedule these blocks during times/days I know my team and/or executives are less likely to bother me with a new request.

This is such a great video to watch! I have the same difficulties. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately my job has me bouncing from task to task so my to-do lists are more of a reminder list than a guideline of how I need to order myself.

I recently got an IBM offer letter. There are 3 options i.e. Accept, Decline and Query.
I had selected the Query option to change my joining date which they did with e mail.
But now in the offer letter section, it does not show the 3 options anymore. But I both have the offer letter and the revised joining date e mail. Is it okay?

Moved to the city about 6 months ago and I’ve been disappointed in my experience. I know the pandemic is playing a factor but I didn’t expect the winter days as gloomy as they’ve been.

Last two months have made me consider moving but part of me feels like I won’t have given the city a fair shot

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?

Looking for another remote position

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
