Im coming back from a 3-week vacation on Monday. Should I reach out to colleagues in advance to set some meetings to catch up on things? Or is it okay to wait until Monday?

I don't think there's anything wrong with waiting until Monday. People know you're coming back then, I assume, so the meetings will happen in due course. It's not like it will be a shock that you'll want to be doing some catching up.

Thanks!

I completely understand wanting to set some meetings up, but I also highly encourage you to wait until you return. You want to keep those boundaries very clear that when you're off work, you're off work. Don't give anyone any reason to believe otherwise.

Wait until Monday. You are still off from work and should enjoy every second of it.

Thanks!

I wouldn't. If you're feeling particularly motivated, you could get some emails scheduled to send first thing Monday morning asking for meetings. But it's definitely not required or expected.

Thanks!

I feel under qualified at work but I also don’t know how much of it is in my head or in reality. I head a team and they seem to be happy… but I’m also personally not satisfied what we’re delivering is enough… so I have this weird mixed feeling of the stuff we’re doing not really being that stretching, but at the same time I feel out of my depth. I really don’t know what to do and whether to hold on in the hope I’ll learn something or go back to a lower grade and a more comfortable life.

I am still applying to new jobs but I was told it is impossible to move up the grade level now. Everyone is telling me to stick with the government. What are your thoughts?
