I find people & my encounters with people awkward. Don’t know if it’s normal or it’s just me but every day is awkward at work..

If you find people awkward people will sense that and act awkward towards you. Self fulfilling unless you learn to be smoother.

Try some self esteem/confidence building podcasts on Spotify or talk to a social worker. Helped me very quickly when I was going through this.

It’s one of those problems that gets worse the more you’re self conscious about it. Be yourself, focus on the job and over time you & your colleagues will warm up to each other

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

Hi Guys, Please help 🥺
I've joined ibm during Feb 2022 and assigned to a project on March.
I'm ABAP developer but doing data validation production support for one of the big client.
I don't like the work and also can say my tech lead is not happy for my deliverables.

Need advice on how to get a release from the project which I've worked for 4 months. And also wanted to know would this impact career in IBM?..


Thank you.

Stuck between 2 offers, which would you choose? Eventually I want to work in ML/AI or blockchain/crypto

Offer 1: Non-profit financial advisor, awesome culture, design process & ethos align with mine, but still beholden to some outdated backend systems. Basically won't be able to innovate for a while

Offer 2: Consultancy focused on spinning up startups in large corp. Seems like cool work but I know very little about the culture/ process. Very sales-y HR but haven't talked to designers yet
