I have Mon and Tuesday off next week... I just don't even know what to do with my leave anymore...

What is this? Depression? Feels like I have given up on life... When did work become ... the better choice to be at..

I've felt like that on some of the Monday holidays. I'll feel oddly out of sorts, like I should be at work. If there's a day off, and nothing really planned, it just feels that way.

I relate to that unsettled feeling. When routine disappears, it can expose how much structure work provides. I do not think it automatically means depression, but it might mean you need intentional plans, not just empty time.

You need more time to reset, take a week off!

Taking a full week can help, but only if it is restorative, not just extended scrolling and isolation. I would suggest planning at least one meaningful activity. Leave works best when it feels purposeful, not accidental.

Get on LeetCode and do something productive.

Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank! Please fill out this required field’ when all the fields are entered already (I have checked so many times, and filled the form from scratch several times too). Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?
