I'm in a car centric city, I shamelessly go to my car during my lunch break and nap.

I park in a structure so there's no harsh sun and all I do is just crack the window a tad.

Specifically I want tips for napping at the office, not in a car

Used to perch in a stall in a bathroom to get a good 5. Or find a dead conference room and pretend I’m on a stressful conference call. Or an unused audio suite. Man… those were the days

My office had meditation/lactation rooms that I would book when I needed a snooze. If those weren’t available at the time I wanted, I would look for a room with a solid door and walls. I hate open concept offices

You have mother rooms? I realize that’s frowned upon but my lord ours are rarely used.

Earlier in my career I had a couch in my office. An 8 footer. Was glorious! Many used it. Later, a conf room and it was totally understood and encouraged. We worked like crazy. Nobody was faulting someone for needing 20 to keep going on a 12-14hr day.

Move to China. It is normalized there. Set up a nice station at your desk.

I have found zen-like quiet in the lactating room. Many hours of blissful sleep. Only rousted once. Rude.

I can't even nap at home, regardless of how exhausted I am, I'm far too paranoid to fathom napping in public. Clearly, I'm not the norm, what a way to find out 😂

I nap in my partner’s dog’s bed under our desk

I’ve worked at multiple agencies with “wellness rooms” that we referred to as crying rooms for naps or breakdowns

I work from home. I tell the babysitter I’m in an important meeting so they don’t disrupt my hour nap.

How concerned are you about inflation? We have 70% savings rate and 50% of our expenses are housing / utilities of which the largest part is rent which is a fixed contract (no CPI escalation, no automatic increases, paying same rent for 4 years). No car as we are living in a large city. So if I look at the components of CPI and what’s rising I am feeling pretty „good“ about it. The one thing I am „worried“ is asset inflation but obviously that benefits me directly. What am I missing?

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?

What would you do?
My company contracts a web developer, we have a set amount of hours for the quarter and pay over if more work is needed.
He never gets anything done. Doesn’t answer emails half the time. The one thing he’s done was take out a blurb that threatened our eligibility for patent renewal.
We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
