I worked at an agency for 9 years and within a few days of having left it I just realized that I never had anything in common with anybody there. As a matter of fact, I don’t get in touch with any of them. How sad is to work at a place for so long without building any meaningful relationships?

It’s sad. I hope you had and have friendships and relationships outside of work, and found happiness and meaning in them.

I think those are more meaningful in the long term.

I had one job in my early 20s where I made a ton of friends that I still talk to a decade later. Other than that, I get along with coworkers but rarely spend time with them outside the office. I don’t think this is sad at all.

Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Should i join KPMG?

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
