I know this is mostly me being paranoid because I doubt anyone cares and have heard leadership say multiple times they do this themselves

But hit the bench next week for the first time. Is anyone gonna care if I hit the gym and be away for a couple hours? Up-to- date on all my certs/trainings and just got a really good review

Depends...how much can you bench?

likefunny

Not enough hence why I need to go 😉

If you are responsive to work calls and emails (within appropriate time for the responses required) and when working your deliverables are on time and coordinated with the team- then nobody cares where you are whether you are staffed or not. So you do you since your energized and healthy self is better for everyone.

I’m in a project and go to the gym during lunch. Just tell my team I can’t cook and need to grab something. While I went to culinary school for one semester and cook up as much as possible hahah. You’ll be fine just go and take your laptop in your gym bag!

Do what you want. The limited times I’ve been on the bench I’ll play with my schedule to look like I’m busy so I don’t get pulled on to BD. Then catch up on COD, Netflix and go to the gym. Probably work 1-2 hours a day. After a couple of weeks start reaching out to find a new project.

Just block the time off on your calendar and set up an auto respond if you’re that paranoid

No such thing as being up to date on certs/training

One of the things that my ADD coach helped me with was realizing that I wasn’t prioritizing activities that help me feel recharged. Between work and home responsibilities, I was just burnt out and overwhelmed.

As we’re heading into the weekend, what are some things you do to recharge and give yourself a break?
