I just started a new course alongside my job. I'm not letting it affect my performance at work, but for some reason, I don't want to mention it at work. If you've tried to pursue higher ed with your job, have you told your manager? And is your manager at least neutral-to-supportive, or did you just hide and juggle?

I'm not currently in higher ed. But if I was, I'd be just like you and keep it to myself. It's none of the company's business and will probably be held against you if your performance slips for any reason, even if that's completely unfair.

They don’t need to know until it’s finished, and even then, only if it will help you in your current position. Certain people will always hold onto those things to throw back in your face.

i agree with SR1. it could be used against you.

OP, how’s it going?

I’m in the middle of moving by myself. I’m job hunting, because I lost my last one. My relationship has basically imploded. I sleep a lot on a fucked up schedule because I’m depressed but I can’t afford help, and I only get it when insomnia gives me a break. I’m so done and over all of this. I have so many heavy regrets. Idk how to carry all of this.

My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 8 months now. We talk every single day online and recently I went to visit her for around a month. It was great and it seemed like the relationship was stronger than ever. But one week back after visiting her, I felt a strange detachment from her and our conversation topic got repetitive and stale quick. Any advice?

This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
