Unpopular opinion: turn your phones off or leave them in your car. No one is focused anymore. If you can’t do it on your laptop then it’s not work related.

In all realness, I think tons of good would come out of your first sentence alone. Unrelated to work. Or related. We are the generation that have becomes slaves to our phone. It’s closer to us than our first born child.. it sleeps next to us… it’s at the dinner table.. it’s ALWAYS attached to our hip… I think about this a lot and unfortunately don’t see a way to survive in this industry without a smart phone.

I feel like I’ve lost myself since joining McK. My whole world has become about work. I love my job but I’m not the same person I started and I feel I don’t connect with my friends and family the way I use to. I’m not sure if I’ve grown, or lost a part of myself. Is this growing up or do I need to make a career change?

Anyone feel like your job sees you as "one of the good ones?"

I’ve been in sales for nearly 3 years doing alright and all of a sudden I have developed an anxiety towards sales that has made my job unbearable in the last few months.
I haven’t made any major mistakes that triggered this, I just gradually developed so much self doubt.

Like I spend way too long overthinking my phrasing in communication lately…

Has anyone else experienced this?
Any advice on how to get through this?

Started a new job 7 months ago. There’s been a hiring freeze and it seems they canned the recruitment team. Things seems to be slowing down drastically in the span of a week. Getting the resume all spiffed up and getting interviews together. When do you make the exit? “When you find a job” I know, but…

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?
