Remember that no ad, campaign or asshole is worth fretting over and let it wash over you. Also, remember you’re not saving lives or building rockets. No one has ever died from an ad that didn’t quite perform as one would have hoped. It’s just advertising.

I have been working long hours over the last months and feel overwhelmed, overworked and tired. I don’t see any way to change my current situation within my agency so I have been looking for other job opportunities but I am in a very small market, and nothing comes up. I feel unappreciated and exploited. I also feel angry because other people in my department who makes way more than I do seem to have it easier and are able to leave at 5:00 pm to have a life. I can swear it’s not related to time mismanagement. I don’t waste time, I work hard but simply there’s more work than available hours to execute it. I have a family and I feel I am neglecting them for a job that pays an average salary in the industry. Help. I need to advice in managing my frustrations while a change is possible. I don’t want my bitterness to get the best out of me. I want to be in control and keep my cool as long as possible. Nobody wants to work with a bitter person ( despite I have legit reasons to be unsatisfied). Books, articles or ideas are welcome

Thank you for listening. And for the book recommendation 👍🏻

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission. We recently did layoffs, I was kept however there have been changes & meeting quota has become difficult & we have a way heavier workload. The perks are amazing but I need to make more money. Do you think I could get a role with more money with my experience that’s fully remote even in this “recession”..thoughts?

Hi, I currently work for an MNC and have received an offer from Hexaware in sep with joining date in dec last. What is the situation in SFDC domain in Hexaware currently with respect to projects and layoffs. My current company is best in terms of job security but due to the pay hike I have planned to shift as the current payscale is on the lowest in industry. Please provide your inputs on job security and work life balance in Hexaware

Anyone know if all the layoffs have been completed/announced yet? Honestly, I love my job and there's nowhere else I'd rather work. Want to know if I can exhale yet.

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?
