Im experiencing something awful at work. I feel burnout and not appreciated by my team. I feel like I’m falling behind and my burnout is causing me to make mistakes here and there. I have wanted to quit my job for a while, and even though my partner will support me during an unemployment phase, we have a timeline and I have to wait 1.5 months. I cant stand to feel mediocre at work or like I’m not giving my 100%.

Do you have any advice on how to deal with work during these last 6 weeks?

First, congratulations on setting a target and making a decision on how to get out.

The way to deal with it is by setting your focus on that target. There is nothing to make it easy when you're at this point. Put a visual reminder somewhere, focus on eating well, working out/doing yoga to calm your nervous system and start your count down.

You can get to the end of this ❤️

Capitalize this burnout and see what it has to say about your work life habits. What are the reasons for you feeling burned out? Do you need to assert strong boundaries around work life balance? Maybe with co workers? Is this job/team not a match for your personality? If not , what would be? Use these feelings as feedback about your own self and integrate them into your life so you don’t have to come across a similar situation/ job/ team once again to get these insights. Treat these next 6 weeks as a personal experiment about yourself and for yourself and see if you can change some patterns right here and right now. Make it all about you and capitalize this situation!! Best of wishes!! You got this!!

Hi Fellow Fishies,

I am reaching out because I was recently contacted to interview for Cigna Provider Engagement Development Program. I wanted to see if I could connect with anyone on here that I can help give a breakdown of what this program entails, day-to-day, and WLB. Any tips on the interview and interview process for anyone working in this position? I would be truly grateful for any help or information that can be provided!

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

I’m curious. What would you say is the best industry / sector for…1. WLB, 2. Great people / team, 3. Exit opp’s., and 4. Overall (mix of the above). Goes without saying the obvious “it depends on office, team, project, client, etc.” So this is an ask for general observations.

As if I remember, one of the consultancy, used my PAN to register in ibegin but I’m unable to login since it is registered by their mail ID and my PAN.
