Those who have accommodations with work (like FMLA/medical) do you ever feel, guilty? I don’t know if it’s my childhood causing me to feel guilty (I was blamed for everything by my mother. Literally everything). Or if this is just a natural feeling. But I feel like everyone at work judges me or is upset with me constantly because of it.

I don't have medical accommodations, but I do have to leave early every now and then to pick up my kids when I get called by the school nurse. I used to feel judged for it; now I've started to realize most people don't care. More importantly, you shouldn't feel guilty for needing accommodations. I'm a single dad and made that very clear when I was interviewing, as I'm guessing you did with your need for medical accommodations. As long as you're getting your work done, you've got nothing to feel badly about. You're not letting anyone down, you're simply doing what you need to to balance work and life.

Thank you! I just feel so emotional and stressed like I haven’t been “pulling my weight” but I’ve been literally struggling to even look at my phone screen let alone a computer screen all day:(

I used to feel guilty for a lot of things, most of which were out of my control. I had to tell myself that people aren’t really worried about me, and if they are, it says more about them than me.

The best way to look at it! I can’t carry someone else's concerns when they aren’t even able to tell me about them.

Not at all. I earned the right to take the time . I take it guilt free

I used to feel guilty leaving early, but now I don’t. As long as I finish the work and it’s sent in a timely manner, then it should be fine. People at my company leave early all the time as well.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
