January 2 is World Introvert Day. My team says I bring a calming energy when work gets stressful. (I’m banging my head against the wall once they leave the room.) How do you use it as your superpower in the workplace?

I can very much relate to this!

First, love the image. I think it’s so important to have balanced teams and those rooms are packed with way too many extroverts who don’t stop to listen. Having a calming presence is awesome for the team and assume you make your POV known where it’s needed however works for you.

I have tend to work with extroverts that are reactive, so I try to help bring order and direction by being proactive when the venting is done.

Hah I feel you on this. Being introverted is great for me at work because I have crazy, diagnosed ADHD. If I was extroverted, I'm sure I'd get sucked into a bunch of time wasting convos. As is, I pretty much just shut myself in my office, put my headphones in and get to work.

I respond to emails and Teams posts 2-3 per day. If I do it every time something pops up, I would lose focus and never get things done. Sometimes my staff asks if I saw the communications, and I say “Yes, and you handled it well.” I’ll jump in when I know it’s beyond their control.

Everyone is naturally better at certain things. Always lean into yours for the best results!

I usually let the extroverts vent and get it out of their systems. Then I jump in and present next steps to review so we can get something done.

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

How many therapists (and social workers too!) see a therapist themselves? Do you find it helpful?
I think there's this myth that therapists have all their own sh*t figured out, and for me at least I know that's far from true (hopefully it isn't just me). On the contrary, I think we should be leading by example!

I have 6 years of experience . I had an interview with amadocs. It was smooth and I answered most of the questions. At the end the interviewer asked me about salary expectations. I told him 22L and he was kind of surprised and told me that HR will get back to you . Does it mean that they are no longer considering me for the role? It's already been 2 days and I didn't get the call or interview result.
