I have some holiday coming up just as it’s about to get super busy at work. How do you deal with the guilt of leaving your team when it’s busy so you can have fun?

Don't worry about it. I doubt you harbor animosity towards your coworkers when they take time off, even if it happens to be a busy period. I doubt they feel anything about you leaving. No need to feel guilty for taking the time off that you've earned. I'm happy to cover my coworkers even during summer and holidays because they deserve to rest, relax, and spend time with their family.

Thank you, this is spot on and definitely makes me feel a bit less worried about it

I remind myself I earned that time off. If roles were reversed, I would want them to enjoy their break too.

Honestly? I used to feel sooo guilty, like I was abandoning everyone. But then I remembered – if I dropped dead, they’d fill my role in a week. Take the break. You earned it. 👀

Today I learned a new thing. One candidate was referred by a colleague of mine in the system. He got selected and offer letter rolled out.

So my friend is not going to get any referral incentive.

Wondering if anyone else faced the same issue?

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female. So it's like they automatically think the only things I would be good at writing about are fluffy little human interest stories. I'm just a reporter like everyone else. Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?

But of course, it's all fake and payed 😂 turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.

They just posted it without asking me, letting me know, or even mentioning my credits. Is this legal?
