I’m feeling anxious these days about my job. What if I get laid off? What if I can’t feed my family…? Restaurant industry is hard enough as it is - add to that overall anxiety about everything… and life feels pretty bad right now…How do you overcome this general sense of anxiety and worry?

I'm not sure there's any trick to handling that kind of anxiety. I try not to think about it too much, but I'm always aware that things can go sideways very quickly. I think it's just one of those businesses that includes anxiety as part of the job, there's no way around that.

My mom used to say "worry is interest paid on a debt not yet incurred." You can't worry about whether or not you will be laid off. There is really no way to know you will be laid off until it happens.

Recent career-switcher here. While I’m a veteran with the ad process, I am new to the UX agile process. Is it normal to not use briefs whatsoever? Is it normal for the UX research lead to have a stakeholder workshop (sans designers) to think of concept “thought starters,” then have a separate meeting with the UX design lead to vote on which 1 of 3 concepts to proceed with? In advertising, this is analogous to the client and researchers doing the campaign idea then telling the CD to execute it.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?
