What's your biggest challenge around staying healthy?

Best way to deal with family members who treat you like the family therapist? Over thanksgiving my aunt disclosed some intense stuff to me and asked me for my help/opinion, and it was uncomfortable. I don't feel good saying just don't talk to me about stuff like that, but I also am not paid to give therapy to my own family and the things they tell me put me in weird situations with other family members. Help!

In Reston from Mon to Thurs every week. The only staff member on my team and my manager doesn’t hang out. Any one else travels or lives near by that wants to hang out in the evenings or hit the gym?

Been hitting the gym for around 9 years. Today I had a trial session with a personal trainer and I enjoyed it. It was my first time ever working with one. I’m wondering if paying 500$ per month is worth it? I saw great results when I was working out by myself so I’m not sure if it’s worth to pay so much. Thoughts?

Apple Watch owners…⌚️
Im getting into swimming and I’m like OCD about my watch tracking my workout as accurate as possible (even if it’s not the most accurate 🤷🏻‍♀️). I used the open swim for the first time yesterday and one down is 25 yds but one full lap is 50 yds and regardless I don’t think it tracked my swim accurately. Is there a trick? Lol I input 25 yds as a lap but maybe I needed to put 50? Silly little thing but it’ll drive me crazy haha

Appetite for an in house nutritionist? Or 1-1 nutrition advice

Does anyone know the criteria used to determine who is selected to be laid off due to COVID?

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who shares in this group. It truly helps me stay sober. I am approaching 12 months sober but have been struggling lately. While I have not relapsed, I’ve been close. Normally, before I get out of bed, I write down my reason to stat sober for the day, but lately the reasons have been lousy at best. But reading about everyone’s struggles and successes has helped get me through this past month. So thank you all for the inspiration to keep going strong!

Wanted to share some positivity!

I gained 25 lbs throughout 2020 & 2021. In Jan 2022, had a goal to get back in shape.

Beginning in April, after a combo of fasting, intuitive eating, hitting the gym 4-5x/week, going thru a short cutting phase, weight training at 85-100% & slowly building back up to 5k steps daily, I lost 20 lbs in 6 months (end of Sept)!

Anyone else getting hit hard by allergies this year?

Practice has been growing rapidly but I’ve been in a rut as a few projects went on ice due to COVID, and have been swinging and missing on BD. In parallel, my Practice Leader has been crazy busy because of said growth and has missed last few check-ins with me. He’s also my main PPMD sponsor. So am feeling demotivated and a little unloved. Trying not to take it personally, but any tips on how I can get out of this rut?

Anyone hear anything about COVID spikes for the summer? It's a bit confusing to be honest, hearing conflicting insights

I don't know what else to do. I have major depressive disorder. I've been on almost every medication made, been hospitalized, been through "therapy" with multiple therapists and social workers, and even had ECT, all to no avail. I'm trying to stay strong but it's getting hard.

Well my work gym just added Peloton and I just got my Peloton last month. I really love it so far. Not sure if I should return it now that my work gym has it? Also, I don’t plan to be with my work after summer hopefully. So maybe I should just suspend my subscription for now?

Hello all. Looking for thoughts and opinions. I’ve been a sales manager with a small company (I refuse to say it is a start up anymore since they bring in several million in ARR). I’ve been with them for a year and a half. I started at 50k and now make 63k. I am a full-cycle sales manager…the company does not believe in the use of BDRs. There’s no opportunity for growth. Is my salary fair (per MA standards)? I was promised high OTE… but with no marketing team I also hardly get leads.

I’ve read that firms sometimes just want you to stop working same day even if you give two weeks notice. Is this typical/do they pay you for the full weeks?

I’m a new analyst at an IB group. I’ve felt that I’ve done well my first month or two and delivered higher quality work, but I feel that lately I’ve been slipping up the past few weeks given the intensity of the deal as well as having multiple peripheral work streams. It also doesn’t help the second year analyst quit so I don’t necessarily have a resource to lean into. (Cont.)

I've been working at the same advertising agency for seven years. My boss just quit to join the competition. Thinking of following her, does anyone have experience switching companies like this?

Curious to know what you've seen as working to non working dollars split in Canadian agencies. Reference any specific brands (or categories) if you can. I'm used to seeing the conventional 15-20% split for non working (production dollars only, not including media budget, agency fees) but are those days gone now with the takeover of digital (vs traditional) ad placements?

Is Infosys HRs really dumb, they are continuously posting on LinkedIn that they are hiring for Infosys. It has been more than 60 days and my profile is still showing the Schedule Interview.

I tried to reach close to 9-10 HRs and they are not responding to my messages on LinkedIn.

One HR will post anything related to hiring and immediately in next 2 minutes you'll see a bunch of replies from Infosys HR like #hiring, #hiring2022,
#infosyshiring.

Wasting our crucial time 😠

Has anyone used a virtual assistant?
My practice pivoted hard during covid.
I used to travel 60,000 miles a year to meet clients. Now it's mostly virtual from my home office. I have clients choose virtual who live closer to my office than I do.

Any tips for talking to family members who only watch Fox? Currently think all cities are in a constant state of riots, only about 20k people really have corona, and anyone who died was already dying from something else. SOS

Need support & insights. Burnt out and so so ready to quit. Feel sick every workday and starting to hate the industry and resent normal work.

We’re saving so I can quit in the spring without a new gig. In the meantime I’m trying to put as many deserving people in leadership track positions as I can, and fight some of the toxic nonsense at the leadership table.

Please tell me it’s ok to leave this industry and that I’ll find something new, even in a growing recession and as a woman over 40. 😬

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about. The worrying/anxiety multiplies when I proceeded further in the interview stages. Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.
