Today it hit me that I’ve started lowering my expectations just to make my job feel manageable. That’s not who I am, and it’s not who I want to become. I’m trying to figure out when adaptation becomes self-abandonment. How did you recognize that moment for yourself?

Thanks! Adding myself

As tough as it is I don’t believe you should have to lower your expectations for anything. It is difficult though, but I think the time you give in and start caring less about the job, you become a bit of a cog in their machine.

Valid. A cog in the machine is what it feels like.

I have family members who are inside claims reps for a large company. The company sends out emails 4 times/day showing who is currently not available for calls. To everyone working in claims in the entire country! It’s been a minute since I worked in claims. And never for this particular company. But is this shaming the new way to manage WFH.? Sounds at least toxic.

I have an old 2006 Camry that I am eventually looking to replace (it is currently worth 2k). Have always wanted to learn about cars and how to do stuff with it and would like to use this car as an opportunity to pick up a hobby. What resources can anyone suggest (books / videos etc) where I can do car-related stuff, from the simple to hopefully more complicated as I get better. Thanks
