Listen to music that lifts up, whatever that may be. If you don't like music then try to get out after work and be social or spend time with your family. If the environment is toxic then detoxing is a major priority!

Bad leadership, micromanaging, etc. Now I not only hate my job, but I feel disconnected from my coworkers too and it's making me miserable. Job hunting but that takes time of course. What are some mental tricks that help keep your spirits up when everything feels tough?

Havas?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions.

Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.
