So I recently broke up with my BF..7 years relationship. It is hindering with my work performance. Fri evening I didn’t do a good job and got a bit of feedback Sat morning from SM. I talked to her.

Told her that I appreciate the feedback and what is going on in my personal life. She was kinda ok and now she is breathing down my neck and micro managing me

Sorry to hear OP :(

A similar situation happened with someone on my team. Request some time off to clear your head. Take a couple weeks if you can and take a trip with some friends or a solo trip. As time goes on you’ll feel better.

Yeah this is hard. I won’t say I know how you feel but I would consider taking some time off.

Surprising. My female SM’s were some of my best advocates when I went through a similar situation

This executive I support has given me an e-gift card for the 3rd time in the past 5 months. Each gift card is $300.

I had already told him monetary awards were not necessary as the "thank-you" and words of appreciation were enough for me.

Is it normal to receive such large monetary awards? I think 50~100 is acceptable

How do you deal with a manager who expects 3 months of work overnight? I have tried structuring , creating a plan to show him how the activities are being executed. However, he seems to be someone who turns around every other hour to ask ‘Is it done’? I am usually pretty good at managing expectations but having a hard time conveying how unreasonable he is being. Despite being organized, I am coming across as scattered and jumbled since I have been working 15+ hours with no food and break daily
