All of the above. Take time off from work on purpose as well. Speak up if the work is too extreme, take your breaks at work and eat lunch

The little things! Making your bed in the morning, opening the shades, brushing your teeth, skincare routine, journaling, and most importantly - boundaries!!!!

Work less and for yourself if you can. Hard boundaries with work and saying no. Agencies will burn you out for their own gain, many group practices too.

I agree. Especially larger agencies and treatment centers. I actually had an owner of a facility tell me “we don’t pay you to have boundaries.” Took a pay cut and left as soon as I could.

I hear you! It’s a struggle. Boundaries are huge.

What completes you?

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.

We are looking to restructure our marketing team (B2B IT services) and one of the questions I have is: how does recruitment marketing / employer branding fit into the marketing team?
Over the last year EB and RM have become increasingly larger parts of our team’s work, but it’s not part of the marketing commercial targets (just helping recruitment meet their targets). Are they completely separate in your company? Or part of the team and if so how?

Does anyone have strong rationale for why it seem like big brands hardly ever include trademark or register symbols on their logo anymore? When I was coming up as a designer trademarking the logo was a very important step in branding.
