My SO is a contractor and takes multi-month breaks in between projects. I’ve noticed for years that their personality changes (for the worse) when working, but WFH has made life especially toxic. I’ve tried broaching the subject from multiple angles but always leads to what appears to be blinding anger where they say very harsh /hurtful things. Any advice on how to handle?

Are you offering distant/remote education? How are you doing it?

I work in an organization that rewards toxic behavior, and my boss is exactly that person. I started this job earlier in the year, and with wfh in place, I have grown to despise this job that I worked so hard to get. I know I should be grateful that I have something. But I work all hours of the night and feel stuck - if I speak up about the workload, then I’m thought of as incapable and unreliable. But if I don’t, I burn out and it affects my quality of work.

What do you do to stay productive at work while WFH? My focus and drive has disappeared for whole days and I can’t bring myself to get anything done. We’re experiencing a heat wave and poor air quality from wildfires in the state, but I’ve been losing steam at work days before this started.

Best way to give notice during wfh? Currently going to office 1-2x a week but will not be in the office the remainder of this week.

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
