I work in an open-plan office where the hustle culture is so intense that people feel guilty for taking a full 30-minute lunch. If you aren't eating a sad salad at your desk while typing, you’re looked at like you’re a slacker. I tried to take a walk outside just to breathe some fresh air, and my lead asked me if I was feeling okay when I got back. How do you deal with an office environment that treats basic self-care like a performance issue?

Oh no! I bet your office is so competitive that your coworkers don’t trust each other. Is back stabbing an issue for you?

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April. I’ve been super stressed about it and don’t know how to move on to May with the proper mindset to make up for as much time missed as possible. CA courts are still closed, and I’m worried I won’t be able to exceed (or even meet) my May goal after April.

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%

I just moved teams within my agency, and had the jarring realization that every single person on the day-to-day business (across account, strategy, and creative, 12+ ppl) is white. I am also white.

I’m getting the chance to hire somebody new for the team. Hopefully you can see where I’m going with this: how do I talk to HR - who clearly does not recognize this is a thing, or doesn’t consider it a problem - about the need to find some POC candidates for this role and in general?
