Hey bhagwan, Sun raha hai na tu 😂😂😂

McKinsey & Company I received an offer from McKinsey & Company in 2021 and I’ll be starting later this year after graduation. Obviously because of the pandemic, inflation is slowly trending upwards. Has anyone asked for a base salary increase before even starting the job? Any advice on how to approach this?

The quiet times never last long, so I don’t even want to ring that bell. I do try to move around and see if anyone else needs some assistance. That is usually taken advantage of, so I really need to watch it.

That's exactly why I don't offer anymore! I moved jobs and decided that I was going to stop doing it, for that reason
Oh, not unpopular AT ALL. I literally require quiet times and when I don't get them at work, I make sure I get them at home. I used to feel guilty about it, too, but once I hit my 40s, I really noticed how badly I need them, and I have zero issues cancelling plans and staying in.

100%, you have to have your 'me time'. Its so necessary! I take all the downtime I can these days!
I don't think it's unpopular. I have had quiet periods and haven't announced it. Some people notice but only those I talk to daily.
Conversation Starter
I feel like those are the people that won't mind you having a bit of down time too usually
When things slow down a bit I get very anxious, but in some ways I appreciate the slower pace while it lasts. And I learned years ago never to speak up and say I'm not super busy. If you let it be known you're not busy you are tempting the gods, and trust me, something will happen to make you very busy indeed.

I used to feel the same way with the anxiety during quiet periods. Now I have learnt to embrace it and use it to my advantage! Absolutely, people will always have something to throw on you, so I will never go out my way to say I am quiet anymore!

I think I have watch enough tv or experienced it myself where once you bring it up, the opposite happens. (The second she is gonna drop).
I have learned if I can anticipate where the lulls are, I can schedule some time off. If I don’t get a 3-day weekend in once a month, work just gets more something… that even a snicker candy bar can get me out of hangry mode.

Anticipating the lulls are and using it for your advantage is actually a really great idea!
Definitely, they don’t come around often!
