Today is supposed to be our “day off.” I always laugh when I see emails announcing special days off. What’s even funnier are the reminders about “half days.” Hilarious.

In other words, don’t take the day off.

But does your org make a whole, like 5 minutes long video congratulating themselves on how great they are and how great they treat their staff like WPP did????????

Maybe this is a stupid question, but what do you feel ultimately stops you from being able to take it off? The way timelines are built? Department culture? Something else?

Been there. Don’t miss that. It’s crazy how different tones can be set by account and project management that can just throw everything into turmoil. Also bad clients exist. I’m thankful right now to be in a place where it’s just running smooth thanks to project management always insisting on (frankly) generous timelines.

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space. People who aren’t diagnosed generally have misconceptions about ADHD and its symptoms, and I’m so grateful we have this bowl to seek help, learn from one another, and sometimes just vent! With all the negativity in the world, this bowl is that one ray of sunshine I so desperately need, so thank you everyone for what you have done and what you’ll continue to do!
