I joined my current company 3 months ago when I suffered from depression, but I didn't tell the recruiter or anyone. Now I feel I'm really not able to contribute 100% in my current role, but I don't want to share my depression with my employer. I still need the $. Suggestion please?

Do you really need to give 100%?......I too was firing on all cylinders at my previous place of employment and kinda snapped when I got some negative feedback about my work.

Once I explained how stretched I was they rolled back the work load and spread it out among the more Jr.

I eventually found myself only working 20 hours per week lol

Some great practical wisdom here from BA1.

Also, have been reading about overemployment and how they handle workload. Pretty interesting.

Even if you don't join the overemployed you can still use some of their philosophies or rules to minimize workload at your one job which hopefully gives you more time to work on your self.

What I learnt working for the last two American companies, managers (the VPs, now promoted by their CEO friend to C-level) were too concerned with optics to care. Just appear to show up, let everyone else pick up the slack. And if anyone complains about you, claim discrimination by your employers. 🤣

NGL, the toxicity of the people that were supposed to be “executive leadership” there sickened me. But the experience did teach me how bad it can be.

Similar situation. Difference is I joined a startup that fully supports life outside of work. I wasn’t feeling well mentally this week and took it off without any issues.

Yup! Monday to Friday

No need to be a superstar at work - do the bare minimum or more if you can.

The Way to a Higher Salary? Leave.

If I had stayed in the role I was in originally and grown with it, I’d be making maybe $120k, best case. I also wouldn’t have broken 6-figures in under 4 years by waiting.

The biggest lie that companies tell you is you can grow in a firm, both professionally and financially. The only ones that grow are already the people a) getting the promotions, or b) on the sales side.

If neither applies to you, the fastest way to achieve salary growth is to leave.
