I have caught myself counting time differently lately. Not hours or days but how many shifts until a break or a day off. That probably says more than I want it to. When did life start feeling like something to push through instead of something to enjoy in real time, and how do people get that balance back?

It's funny, depending on what kind of day I'm having I do think about the passage of time differently. Some days I hardly pay attention to it and then it seems like it's suddenly time to head home. Other days I'm just trying to get through the next 15 minutes without having some problem pop up. Time just passes differently depending on what's happening.

I thought that was normal in retail lol.

I try to find little moments of joy during my day. I don't want to feel like I'm just surviving for half of my waking life, which can be hard to do some days, honestly.

It’s different for managers, I’d imagine. You literally have no reprieve, it feels like sometimes. And when you are short staffed or there’s deadlines to meet or there’s cuts to be made, we have to make it happen

I do something similar. However, it’s usually I count how many hours I have to work before I get a day off. I also count how many hours I have to work in order to afford some basic stuff.

I do exactly that, even though my days off are few and far between now

Amazon Offer- Accept or decline?

Current TC: 98k

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!

I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
