Some weeks feel like a test of how much we can carry without losing ourselves. Curious how others protect their energy while still showing up strong at work?

A big thing for me is not feeling like I have to like my job. I think a lot of people end up getting bent out of shape because they want their career to be something they enjoy and is fulfilling and meaningful, etc. But really, you don't have to like it in order to do it. You can find little ways to make the day more enjoyable, but your job doesn't have to define you or bring you some sort of meaning.

Thanks for the response

Sometimes it's just a matter of remind myself that showing up and putting in the effort is part of being professional. I don't have to find great meaning in it, and I don't have to see every part of the job as providing gratification. It's enough to put in the work and navigate through the parts I don't like and protect my sanity as best I can.

Thank you for the reply

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I tend to keep to myself to protect my energy. The vampires can be everywhere in a toxic workplace and you don’t always know who they are

Awesome thanks!

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!
