Just got a job offer (client side), and I think I’m worth at least a little more than the offer. How do I not psych myself out of trying to negotiate for ~$5k more? Afraid they’ll change their minds.

I went in-house and pushed for 10k more just because you should always negotiate. Got it, as well as a sign-up bonus. :)

If the company can’t afford 5k more, it’s likely not a company that you’d want to work for/ is not profiting.

They definitely won't change their minds. They'll probably give it to you because it's only 5k, but usually they'll counter with something in between your original offer and what you asked for. The worst that can happen is they'll say no, the best is you'll get more $. But they definitely won't rescind it, so go get em!

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

My first appointment with a therapist to help manage my anxiety was canceled at the last minute... just what i need after spending days preparing for this session 🙄

Deadlines can induce anxiety attacks for me. I worked through the weekend and just woke up to a (nice!) email from the client asking about progress. We're not going to hit deadline. This caused an all-out anxiety attack at 6:30 am and now I have to somehow get myself together and work.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.
