Not sure if it is Covid related or burnout from accelerating work in tax, but does anybody have a personal success story on how to re-energize as a staff? Or once you have checked out mentally is there no turning back? I have just stopped caring as much as I did even as recently as a month ago, with a growing pile of work sitting with me, and I want to figure out how to get back in the mindset that helped me succeed before. Currently a TC2 expecting to transition into Senior TC role.

I agree with taking a break. I personally got over my hump once I decided to quit.

likefunny

Yeah I would like to avoid quitting if I could. I have considered it, but I also feel like I owe it to myself to try to battle through it. But then again, if I do find a better opportunity I do want to leave that on the table.

go take a break...this is going to be a while. like get a massage or something, swim in your pool...Anything other than working.

Second taking time off- disconnect entirely and after a few days you’ll feel a lot better.

Take a long break if possible. I felt this way and then was (unexpectedly) unemployed for a while the first half of this year. I didn’t do any work aside from applying for jobs, just focused on the hobbies I’ve always wanted to try. Started a vegetable garden, painted, started playing an instrument, read, watches the movies and shows I had been putting off, etc. By the time I started my new job I felt like a new person, it even helped me feel more creative. You gotta let yourself live like a rich Victorian lady living in the English countryside every once in a while.

My cousin was supposed to join tcs last week, as he got the email confirmation with DOJ from recruiter(same is updated in ibegin portal). She has not rec any onboarding invite in Callender though.
However, she couldnt join and not yet sure of the reason.
Ibegin portal still says the same DOJ but BGC status is showing as scheduled. HR's not yet responded with the actual reason and not sure on next steps as well.
Any idea what could be the reason? Will they extend the DOJ or Cancel that offer?
