I struggle with trying to help with problems that are above my paygrade, and I end up stressing over this since it isn't in my control and I have other responsibilities to do anyway. How do I let go and not involve myself in putting out these trash fires?

Something that's really good to learn is that it's best not to get involved with things that aren't your responsibility. Unless there's a colossally good reason, like it's an issue of someone's personal safety, it's best to just keep out of it. Let the people who are paid to deal with it deal with it. The way to do it is to just tell yourself it's not your responsibility and have the discipline to stop worrying about it.

Thank you, working on the discipline part for sure. I don't think people even like when I get involved and try to help, so I really have to learn to hold my tongue.

I used to do the same thing OP but pretty soon you realize it is not worth it to go above and beyond. You don't get anything extra by doing it and you end up spending valuable time that you need to be doing something else.

I have been realizing this exact thing. Even though I want to help, at the end of the day I won't get recognized for it in any tangible way and it can take time away from my other duties.

Unfortunately, we live in a society where coworkers are doing and performing minimally, making, you, staff who are used to hard work, look as if you’re trying “too hard”. No, you’re not, they’re just lazy and management are afraid to say something in fear that they will leave. When we, as a society, stop being PC and go back to old school work/management style;

1. If you can lean, you can clean
2. If you’re finished with YOUR responsibilities, help someone else with theirs
3. Keep yourself busy!
4. Ask if there’s something you can do (there always is!)

,then the true workers will shine!

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.

This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

Our employee satisfaction survey is tied to our performance goals. Meaning, if we rate management badly, we cannot meet 10% of our goals which in turn affects our bonuses and raises. We asked HR but they didn’t do anything about it. Is this normal? Is this legal? If not, what else can we do about it?
