Is it just me but are things getting worse (i.e. more jobs but with low rates that get flooded within minutes that you never hear from) while things get better?

Those people working at agencies are really being overworked.

Unlivable wages. No support. Never ending work (in a bad way). No options if you leave. No time to think.

Versus

No wages. Support from friends and family. Pushed to explore other industries. More free-time than you ever had to consider life, career, priorities.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
