Not performing so well at work and in a fight with my wife at the moment. When things are fucked at both ends of the work/life spectrum and it’s hard to feel anything other than completely hopeless.😔

Prioritize wife please

likesmarthelpful

Best thing I ever did in this scenario - took two weeks off work , took wife on vacation and talked things through . It’s not easy when this happens - but the only long term solution is to prioritize the wife

Think of what your SO always asks you to do, and do that. This should start to help.

Same as at work btw. Good luck !

You got this, sir! Take a deep breath and relax for a bit. Then go and apologize to your wife, tell her that you are not yourself because of work stress and that you need her support at this vulnerable time. Win her over to your side. Then tackle the work. It is not as important as the relationship with your family. If the current work situation doesn't work out, there are plenty of other companies out there. All the best! You got this!

Hang in there

I mean, tough day at work and an argument with your wife... a bad day is what it is... try to enjoy the weekend, reset and attack what is coming to you

Chin up pal. Life is a bumpy ride. Work will always test you in unimaginable ways, but the one thing you can always rely on is your family.

Go give your wife a nice long hug and tell her you love her. You’ll feel some of that stress/anxiety evaporate. There’s nothing better in life than the warmth of an embrace from your loved ones.

Nope, lover left me 4y after the wife, although I have to reckognize there was an overlap period. But breakup was due to work

Please tell me you don’t have kids

Am pregnant when I don’t want a baby rn and don’t know how to fake it at work anymore

Take it one day at a time. Confide in your SO or family or friends about how you’re feeling. Be kind to yourself. Pregnancy hormones are no joke so take that into consideration. I was one of those women who didn’t get all emotional about being pregnant. I felt like there was something wrong with me. But when I saw my daughter for the first time, the world shifted. You can’t anticipate that kind of love - it’s beyond description. I wish that for you too

Work and life are not two ends of the see saw. What happens at one can impact the other. Yes there are time you have to trade off but very often there is a interrelationship.

I am lucky to have mild symptoms.

I do have 1 symptom which is troubling. I feel extreme anxiousness. I have trouble sitting still and trouble sleeping. I have trouble concentrating. The doctor says anxiety is a somewhat common symptom and that Cedars Sinai is studying the potential for long term impact.

Anyone else experience this? I have never felt this before. I have a huge new appreciation for those who suffer from anxiety on a regular basis in everyday life.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
