If I’m feeling really burned out and want to take 2-3 days off in the next week or two is it bad if I let my manager know now? I know it’s a short notice. Or should I wait to take days off in a month? FYI im in a long term delivery role so there aren’t any pressing deadlines in the next while.

Nothing is worth your mental health. If your manager doesn't understand this, I think it's time for you to find a new employer.

Or just a new project

If you’re burnt out, literally tell your manager I’m not doing well personally and need to take a few days time. You don’t need to provide specifics, unless you want to and have a good relationship.

You’ll be okay. Prioritize yourself. I hope you feel a bit better after you do, too!

I take regular day-offs (sometimes just 1 or 2 days) in a week and I plan it a few months in advance. A tip for future; you can always take a 1-2 day break on short notice specially if nothing is breaking. I’ll recommend you plan your holidays in advance and spread out the leftover PTO days so that you get some rest time to time.

Just set up some time with them, say you're feeling a need to take a few days off to support your wellness and productivity, and ask them to help you identify a time in the next two weeks with minimal operational impact. Good luck!

FYI, I did this exact thing last month. There was no issue at all.

It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Hi ,

Can any one know how much FIS offer for Team Lead position

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.
