Is anyone else getting a little cranky with end of year stress/crunch time? I’m dealing with a pretty heavy workload with many high priority items, but I’m usually very even tempered/chill so I’ve been surprised at my irritability lately.

I’ve also had this recently, but I also thing it has to do with aging. My ability to handle huge amounts of stress has gone down in recent years. Not sure if it’s just general aging or years of stress are taking its toll.

Last year during this time I was unemployed and had been searching for months to no avail. This year I’m gainfully employed and so I say bring on the year end crunch. All about perspective.

When’s the last time you got outside, exercised, ate your favorite food, and got laid? If you can’t remember, fix it and bet that helps.

Can’t fix it when you barely even have time to get 4 hrs of sleep due to the insane deadlines.

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”

Very specific to retail and/or hospitality in-house roles: has anyone found a good solution for predictive scheduling? Our retail division has one set of software for scheduling and one for payroll, and neither of them can handle predictive scheduling compliance issues unless they’re used for both the scheduling and payroll functions. I’m coming up empty on ideas for them to bridge the gap, but I’m also new to my compliance counsel role, so I would be overjoyed if anyone has suggestions.

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.
