It’s so sad that jobs don’t give you a “life” anymore. It almost felt like back in the day, a good job gave you some sort of stable lifestyle, whether that be sustaining a nice house or a family. Now, jobs really just feel like the bare minimum to keep you alive, and not having one feels incredibly scary to keep afloat.

I completely agree. There’s been a weird shift where our lives are supposed to revolve around work. It used to be that workers clocked in and clocked out for their 9-5 shift and after 5pm and weekends were yours.

Yes true, and no one can predict the future. I’m just glad I have a job at the moment.

Tell me about it. My last job did not even let us off the day before holidays so we could travel and spend time with family. Plus we had to work the day after to receive the holiday pay.

Gosh, reminds me of A Christmas Carol…

Todays world, it's a "you live to work" lifestyle.

Very real. I just had my 2 weeks notice granted early because I refused to change my shift from 6:30 am to start at 7:30 am. I was late a few times, but granted this week when I was a few minutes late I gave reasonable notice the second I became aware. A tree had been downed and I was required to take a detour to get to the highway. Simple. It was after this occurrence that they requested my shift change in which I refused to change my schedule and said this would be my 2 weeks notice if that’s the case. The company demanded we work a Saturday and Sunday and constantly ask us for help during high volume but a few minutes late and they want to f*ck around with my life? It’s crazy. They will literally break you down until you refuse their god awful management practices

I am frustrated as a Gay Woman who has given her all for 30+ years grinding to be the best. I have been in closet, out of closet, in-between and am tired of it. I want to be VALUED as a human being. I have gone from Rock Star to problem when people "found out". I have trained and promoted hundreds of people and been passed over for promotions because of not being a man. I have trained men with less experience, worse results only for them to move forward. If Diversity is important...prove it!

Do any of you have a personal website you're willing to share the link to? I've been debating on setting one up, and would love to see some examples from other PMs.

What are your thoughts on this ? What are my issues here. I think the hardest one is to predict discovery. But I also think we can outsource some of this to cheeper labor and lean on our tech to not actually have to review everything.
