"She's doing way too much, she needs to calm the f*ck down" is something I heard and I'm almost SURE that it was about me. It's so sad some people's comments can make you feel like you need to underperform and be less. I know I'm not mean to anyone but I'm a go getter and will make sure whatever needs to happen to make the job done will happen. Is that so wrong?

It could be said as genuine feedback maybe not to be mean, nobody likes seeing anyone stressed if there’s work that can be shared by other people. That being said I’m working too hard is a good problem to have in your professional life as long as you’re not getting on anyone’s nerves taking work.

This is an emotional dump rn. It may be lack of social interaction but I'm really frustrated lately. I feel like I lost last 2.5 years of my life with ongoing lockdowns and job instability in the first half of the pandemic. I was 28 turing 31. I get good dates but -ve self talk

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?
