I think this is a consulting industry problem instead of a medication problem

likesmart

Yes but I’m at 30% on Thu/Fri. Like I should be getting fired if I was working like this 5 days a week

Yes I think it is due to constantly being on, maybe masking and being productive in the first half of the week. Sleep deficit often makes me super burnt out by Friday and I use the weekend to catch up on sleep

smart

Possibly that. I am thinking it’s lack of sleep and then also the fact on meds you don’t take those few breaks in the day during the beginning of the week

This is me but just because consulting life makes my brain mush. It’s like too much stimulation and constant distractions you have to continuously fight against.

I used to go out on Fridays and now I just lay on my couch and stare at a wall because I can’t fathom socializing after the work week.

Same! I want my bed and doing nothing

smart

I have the same and I'm in tax. I cannot get any work done from Thursday until the start of the new week on Monday.

Okay, so my thoughts are from where she got that stats - 20 percent really ?
I beleive HRs are also subset of that 20 percent, bdw I don't mind saying am a elite subset of the 20 percent looking for better salaries. What's wrong in asking ?
