I was hired to take a company to the next level, but after several months of observing and offering some small initial suggestions I’ve learned there’s too many people who want to just do the kind of work and practices how they’ve been doing it for twenty years. I’ll be giving notice in two weeks. My stress level went down a little once I decided this is what I’m going to do. I know this is more common than not, but I thought it would be different this time. At least I’m not hanging on trying to force it. Going with my gut.

I think I chose the wrong job. I took less money bc I was promised better stability and WLB and ended up with less of all three. Now I’m about to be moved onto a project where the client is the company and exact team within the org that I turned down to take this job. I’d literally be reporting into my own alternate.

I think I’m in hell.

I’m so unhappy outside of the office, I might quit advertising

I’m unhappy since we all left the office. I can’t stand remote work, I feel lonely and disconnected constantly. It takes all the joy out of the job.

like

I cry every day by like 2pm from sheer exhaustion.

Gotta change things up if you're not happy. Take action. No excuses. Start with using your PTO and just relax and do nothing. Eat healthy, exercise, join clubs, read more, volunteer to help others. Doing good for others often gives us a feeling of fulfilment. There's so much you can do ... But if you continue to choose to cry, then you're weak.

I wish more people were back in the office.

People always compliment how soft my skin is, I honestly think it’s because I don’t shower daily so I never have to use lotion and my skin has a natural oil balance. I usually shower every other day or every 2 days. Unless I sweat or get dirty… Showering everyday is such an advertising concept, a whole industry is built on it, but we were not meant to shower every single day, 50 years ago most people didn’t

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
