I hate email, I receive 100-150 per day. I have to look at it, because all the important information I need to support my customers is there, but I am soooooo over the admin work. And suggestions on how to deal with this better?

Hi there, I too receive about the same volume of email daily. It’s a running joke that anyone who sends me an email personally will not receive a response. Anyway, I use rules in Outlook to manage the madness. I create a client folder and run the rules when the inbox is too busy then work it by client. Often times I can do block filing of emails that are being handled/managed by others and move on. You might what to give that a try. Good luck.

I’ve had a bad case of work anxiety ever since I started a new job ~7 months ago. The adjustment was ROUGH. I was making mistake after mistake. I powered through and somehow got glowing reviews at year end, with people saying I’ve moved past that point.

I’m convinced I’ve only tricked people and sooner or later they’re gonna catch on. I have extremely bad Sunday scaries, I’m always fighting down my anxiety whenever a new ask comes through. I don’t know what to do.

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense.

Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

Everyone is in the same boat here which is why I’m so overwhelmed so quickly with no support. Is this an immediate red flag?

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips? I feel like being an account person is especially difficult in the COVID era since so much of what we do is manage communications, ensure the team is set up well etc. None of this feels particularly fun alone staring into the void of Zoom all day ... but the same pressure is still there. I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.
