I think I am so depressed that I can’t make myself to focus on work or find motivation. Even when I am given a role to show next level I just don’t find a purpose to do it.
Can I take LOA on H1-b ? I think I need to take a break.

In similar boat like you. But it’s incredibly hard to take time off given my current client engagement. Feels like I just need a good long break. The last one year is extremely stressful for all of us. If you want to connect, let me know

Me too i think about it everyday :(

Many people are in your boat. Try burning all the vacation and then ask for a 45 day LOA? I say 45 because you can’t be without pay for over 60 days on h1b i think. Reach out to pec immigration but those guys are slackers.

I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.

Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

Hi everyone. I’m new here but I think I’ll get a lot of really good feedback. I work in government procurement. I worked remote during the pandemic and now my manager cannot see his way to letting us work from home. Our department is the only one in the organization that is in the office all the time. It is really hurting morale and, personally, making me look for something different. What is everyone’s experience with old school management? Thank you!
