I have a whole week off work which is great but I’ve managed to book so much in, so now I don’t think I’ll get as much rest as I’d hoped. How do you say no to plans?

I just make sure I have some alone time in between plans to be productive

Ah that’s true, last night I do absolutely nothing and I feel great from it!

It’s hard to say no. But don’t be afraid to. Think of it as saying “yes” to yourself.

“Shall we stay in and watch a movie, me?”

“Yes, me. We shall.”

This sounds perfect!!

It sounds like you are going to need a vacation from your vacation. There is no real trick to it, I just say no. I recognize that I need and deserve rest and time to do the things I enjoy, and that means making sure I have enough time with nothing planned.

Yes that’s true, I’m sure I’ll find some time somewhere

I am still bad at saying no. Wish I had advice.

I am exactly the same

Just don’t tell anyone you are off

The normalization of "on hold" by the usual suspects. Had 6 interviews in past 4 months with D_itte Get the verbal offer from HR. Yay. Fast forward to following Monday. Get thanked for my complimentary followup sent post-final interview. 48hrs later, same recruiter (on speakerphone) tells me job is now hold and "you must be upset" and good luck in your search.

Tacky AF. Tell me I was rejected by the shadowy 5-person board or it was given to someone who wanted less. Just not this b.s.
