I could not stop laughing at this cause I said that a few times.

Acclimate to just being professional while at work. And when you clock out. Let it all hang out. You must learn to set boundaries for yourself. This will make things less uncomfortable for your friend. After work still be buddy buddy. Let him take the initiative to give you perks if he wish for being buddy buddy. But also keep in mind to tell him you don’t have too. Hope this helps.

Are there any specific issues you want to address or just in general

Just in general just anxiety building up one up have to delegate certain tasks to said buddy

I just have a talk with him before clocking in and letting him know what the expectations are. If he is a friend, he’ll understand and appreciate your addressing before any issues do arise.

Set parameters and limits. But as long as your buddies were actual good employees you should be fine. Don’t pretend you were never in their shoes by “drinking the company kool aid”. If something corporate wants us stupid just tell them it’s stupid but they sign the checks. Don’t try to justify it because you look dumb as well. And like a liar.

Dont try to micro manage but be firm about where the line is drawn when it comes to work

Any advice about how to handle a co-worker who will not stop checking me out? I'm dressed like a professional and I'm not going to HR for being "looked at." It's making me very uncomfortable

I don’t think I could go back to regular clothes or shoes. Is anyone actually dressing up while WFH?

Inflation costs are killing my pipeline. Many of my deals are scaling back greatly because of their rising operating costs.

How do we overcome the inflation objection? I mean obviously the answer is to show how much value we offer, but how do we do that when all of the companies we work with barely have enough funding?

They need our services, which is at least some job security, but their scale back is greatly affecting our projections and quota attainment.
