Thinking I might just call it a day. I ate too big of a lunch and ever since then I have been so sluggish and falling asleep. Don't be like me, friends. Don't eat a big lunch. Hopefully my boss won't mind if I skedaddle on out of here 🥱 I'm just glad I didn't have any big meetings this afternoon. Anyone else guilty of this?

That's why I don't really eat lunch at work. I'll have a protein shake midday, but anything more than that, and I'm basically done for, energy-wise. I don't know what it is about eating at work that makes me so tired!

Yep I'm the same way. Once I get some food in me at work I'm pretty much donezo

I’ve never even thought about that being the reason why I’m sleepy in the afternoons.
Luckily I mainly work from home so I power through my work in the mornings anyway and chill a bit more in the afternoons

It definitely can be a thing, so something to watch out for! That's good that your afternoons are more chill

It makes me wonder how people in a lot of countries can operate in the afternoon with lunch being the biggest meal.

Oh such a good point. Explains the "away" icon on Teams for them though - I can never reach one of them when I need to and now I may know why 😂

Haha totally understandable! I typically have very light lunch (e.g., a smoothie) at work to prevent this from happening.

I generally eat light lunches but would totally feel like this if I didn’t.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

Hi guys currently I'm working in a project with very stringent timelines. Sometimes we need to put more than 13-14 hrs each day. There are 4 members in my team. Two are involved in database prt and me and my lead are involved in the front end and middle layer prt. Somehow my lead is not at all pleased with my work. And even if I try to talk to him for something he is completely rude. Sometimes it makes me that I m completely useless. Even the other team members are following the lead

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?
