I'm running on fumes and desperately want to take a step back at work. However, I'm afraid that if I decrease my output, I'll be seen as replaceable, and I'm absolutely terrified of losing my job right now. I feel so hopeless. What should I do?

Take short term disability for mental health. Don’t ever disclose the reason when you come back.

This is what many of us fear. I wish I knew the answer but I believe this is why so many people feel burnt out

If you completely burn yourself out, you'll be even worse off.

How do y’all deal with people at work who are stuck on stupid? Like they have no idea what they’re talking about and they REFUSE to learn. It’s like they have a god complex or something even with proof, maybe bc of their tenure at the company? Even if there’s valid data backing up that they’re wrong. Maybe it’s bc I’m a type 8 enneagram, but it frustrates the hell out of me!
So any advice would be lovely :)

Hii sharks 🦈🦈🦈🦈

Can anyone of you please help in calculating how much will be my income tax per month(I am availing the Old tax regime)? Different IT calculators show different figures, not sure which is correct :(

And as for the interest amount in the Savings Account and Fixed Deposits, do both fall under "Income from Interest"? Or under "Other Income"? Or does Interest amount in Savings account fall under "Interest from Deposits - 80TTA"?

The figures are given in the screenshot 👇🏻
