I hate micromanagers so much. I want to quit so badly, but I’m scared of being unemployed during a pandemic.

I am on an active job hunt though. So hoping this is a step in the right direction?

It’s definitely a good step. Trying to find ways to improve your working situation is always positive.

I hope you’re able to find a new gig soon with less micromanagement; nobody deserves to have a manager breathing down their back.

It’s a great first step! Impressed you have the energy to do it good for you.

Does anyone put money in VAs for a business client? What are the PROS/CONS/DIFFERENCES? Scenario: 5 doctors want principle protection first and growth of principle second. Each doctor is 20% vested. The business is cash rich and time horizon is 3 to 5 years. Thoughts/Advice welcome. I already have the potential company/product with no surrender period so I don’t need referrals but I’m thinking there will be at least one person who only reads part of this post and referred me anyway. :-( TIA

Hey everyone, looking for some advice. I’ve been working as a RC for a tech company for 15 months making 45k (I know I’m underpaid) and I’m looking to pivot. I feel really burnt out in this role and would love to transition to something else, perhaps another department. I don’t really want to be in an entry level role again, so what kinds of jobs should I be looking at where I can transfer over my skills easily? I also have customer service experience but would love to stay away from that. TIA!

Deadlines can induce anxiety attacks for me. I worked through the weekend and just woke up to a (nice!) email from the client asking about progress. We're not going to hit deadline. This caused an all-out anxiety attack at 6:30 am and now I have to somehow get myself together and work.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.
