Imagine the Work/Life Coronavirus bowl is Hogwarts. If the sorting hat placed consultants, accountants, lawyers, and advertisers into different houses, where would the majority of each group go?

Slytherin - consultants. Who else would start the thread on “how do you cope with not seeing your mistress”?!
Gryffindor - lawyers, I guess? Kinda fits with being self righteous know it alls. Not always the smartest but not afraid to tell everyone exactly how they feel.
Ravenclaw - advertisers. Usually more creative / clever side, but also way too full of themselves. The greater good is nice, but it’s not top of mind. Competing with each other is!
Hufflepuff - accountants... kinda forgot they were in there tbh

🤓🧙🏼‍♂️

The accuracy is spot on here

Consultants are definitely Slytherin.

I feel advertisers are split between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. Some account people would definitely be Slytherin and planners would be Ravenclaws.

Wrong. We’d all be in slytherin together which is basically that bowl. How many lawyers do you know?

events marketing would be hufflepuff.

The managing partner of my office likes to make jokes about Covid now that it is “over” (either in small group convos or speeches to the office). My dad died from Covid, and I honestly feel like it’s so insensitive for him to make these comments when he knows that I lost my dad to it. Our office isn’t that big, and I don’t think many people forget being told that someone they know lost someone from Covid. It has made me consider leaving because of it, but the economy isn’t great.

One year ago this weekend my mother was dying of Covid 2000 miles away from me.

I need to crawl into a cave this weekend until this holiday passes.

Took LOA last year, multiple months. Recovered from burnout driven by long hours during covid. But feel like I'm now experiencing burnout in a different form. Don't feel drained but I'm just unmotivated to do anything in life and work. I don't want to eat, exercise, go places, or work. I don't want another break from work, I want to keep doing things (eg not so drained I want to take months off) but this seems like burnout and I don't know what to do.

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines. She now requires that I go back to the office to “show face” that HR is right alongside the essential employees. I have been more productive from home vs the office. I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?

It’s hard to understand COVID-19 rates of infection where I’m at or was, and the contracts was not inline with corporate ideals at least not in the IT sector. Their ideals was radical and the spread of harmful information on past events to prevent ethnicities to get vaccinated was alarming. It has highest infection rate in private sector. Don’t know death rates was strictly remote and put on non-sanctioned project NDA wasn’t signed and never knew until it came down the grapevine.

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.
