Some of us are happy to join and take their money/benefits/etc - brand in consulting isn’t great either

OP can you share what the days are? I’m joining in a few weeks and would love to know

Wait, what?
I’m joining in a couple of days- and that’s amazing!!
Is it optional, and do you need prior approvals to take it?

Before you get too excited, there’s a reason they have to get aggressive with worker retention.

How would you rate your ratios for work, play, and rest?

My life's mostly been 85% work/serious stuff (includes academia), 10% rest, and 5% play.

I've only started to learn to rest more this year and learning to accept lower productivity (was part of the hustle culture).

Q: How do I learn the concept of play? Didn't have that in my childhood growing up. All serious, no fun. Has anyone transitioned successfully?

I feel like a boring, old lady 😔😒

What is your definition of play?

Please, if you're neurotypical, think thrice before posting - I'm not normal, and want help, not stress or dismiss

I would appreciate any insight on management-side employment law in Dallas. I am a MLA at a large firm in LA pondering a move for financial/family reasons, but it doesn't seem like there are many open positions in DFW and I'm wondering if this area of the law is just not robust in Texas.
