Today I have been trying my hardest to job searches and do side gigs, but I seem have caught a cold. I should have known it wasn't the best idea to help my kid with doordash 2 days in a row. Have you been sick lately and how is it affecting work life? Also has the winter affected you as well? You can talk about past experiences if needed.

Also what is your works sick policy past and present? I remember having to go in with a serious illness due to lackluster polices, but my kid seems to be able to miss once every month at her job.

I was down and out with the flu a few weeks ago and I couldn't have accomplished anything during those days. I was honestly surprised how hard it hit me, I haven't been sick like that in ages. It does seem like it has been a hard winter for a lot of people, and it's been made worse as the bug going around is highly contagious and severe. Let's hope spring gets here quickly and the economy also thaws out somehow.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Thankfully, I haven’t gotten sick at all this year (knock on wood). There’s been so much going around, but I’ve managed to stay healthy. I really hope you start feeling better soon. 💛

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
