I recently was diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder and although it’s provided a sense of relief and understanding, I’m hitting a low moment and I feel like all the inspiration and productivity I was just feeling has slipped away at the worse time. I’m trying to switch jobs because, to say it simply, my job doesn’t help with the depression. However, I still want to do great work until that time yet I’m struggling with motivation often. Can anyone relate?

I wanted to reschedule my hiring manager screen this week because I tested positive for covid and feeling sick with symptoms. Recruiter seemed annoyed and said hiring manager is busy for the rest of the week so I kept the original time slot.

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

Any recommendations for foundation/CC cream that stays put when constantly taking masks on and off? My office requires masks in common areas but not individual offices, and the switching back and forth takes most of the makeup right off my nose (which has awful redness problems and needs foundation!).

Pregnant wife is having small portion meals lately, so i asked why she is eating less than usual. She read somewhere that eating too much can lead to oversized baby, making the delivery more painful, so it looks like she may be controlling the portion because of this. Is not eating enough a cause for concern?

Thanks,

Hi Fishes,

Can you please confirm how long does the joining offer ( provided by PWC ) remain active in workday portal?

I am meeting with my old VP of HR for lunch soon, they got let go after a few months with the company. I had a great working relationship with them and felt they were really trying to push me forward in the company unlike my manager. I can’t shake off the “guilt” feeling like I am doing something wrong. Can anyone relate?

We're all supposed to pool our tips but I'm pretty sure the waiters are keeping most of the money for themselves. I already told the manager and she kinda blew me off. Anyone else been through this?

I'm really having a difficult time understanding how engineering is supposed to be really competitive, most of the projects I've worked on were in groups and there wasn't usually a clear "leader," we were just on a team

Can we buy out notice period in Infosys

What to expect when you are joining JP after Christmas 😅?

Is there a difference in value between pursuing an MBA at an accredited, but not ivy, and a certification (business analytics or CIA)?

Does one provide more value than the other? I've heard the MBA's shine is dimming and don't want to waste time if a certificate can do the same for me.

I heard that, their is hire and fire policy in Synechron, can anyone tell me the reason they fire the employees?

I once called someone in the 'C' suite out for being completely disorganized. I followed it up by offering project management advice. The conversation got pretty heated. I still have my job and we seem to have moved past it but I wonder if that interaction will have a negative consequence down the road. I don't regret it and would do it again, just maybe a little more tactfully but I was looking out for my operation and one of the managers that reports to me.

Please, share some tips to deal with work stress. I'm getting crankier more than ever with the huge amount of workload. I was not like this, but I'm so tired of the mentality "Send it to Paul, he can solve it" (Paul is my fake name). New hireds cant do the job, old seniors are quiting like birds...

New boss is way too serious and can’t take a joke. What to do?

I'm a fresh grad and I thought this would be my dream job... I became the 3rd team member in this location and the regional team leader helped me understand and learned a lot... Until about 4 months down the line, he announced to quit. It's about half of year now since I started to feel ever so alone, hopeless and helpless in the team. The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job

My latest LinkedIn annoyance is the people posting about their kids wearing their company swag or seeing their company logo/name out and about (as in sponsorships).

I am incredibly attracted to my new EM. Thank God the study is virtual, I can turn off the thumbnail when they are on camera, and I roll off soon. I don’t think I would get any work done if we were in a team room together all day. 😂

Inebriated thought...What if rhinos are simply unicorns that let themselves go?

Some woman was hitting on me cause I was ripping tennis balls 🤨. She was cute tho, felt nice

My friend’s dad was a firefighter during 9/11 who died very young because of lung cancer. He was one of those who were denied coverage. She was just having a really hard time this week. Her boss knows this and told her last Friday with a straight face that she’s sulking. Some of these VC people man.

I have desk whiskey in my home office that I use for most days that end in “y”.

Confession: My wife surprised me with her first tattoo, and it's my name initials on her ribcage. I didn't do any work today and ignore a ping from MD - we had it 4 times. I love her so much.

I think I’m ready to be a housewife. So tired of this 9 to 5 grind 😩😵‍💫🤧

Edit: it’s more like 24/7 now

Already slept through the first half of the work day. Happy Monday !

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?
