What's something that you are looking forward to this coming week? Gratitude will get you farther than you think. I am grateful for a full fridge/pantry. It isn't overflowing by any means, but I'm grateful that I don't have to worry about where my (or my pets) next meal will come from.

Agreed! Health is wealth!!

I love this perspective! For me, I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with family this week. Life can get so busy, but moments of connection always recharge me. Grateful for the people around me, and like you, I try never to take food security or housing for granted.

I love this, time with family can be so energizing. I hope you enjoy it!

An elderly relative is having a milestone birthday later this week, and I've been looking forward to that. We're not having a huge celebration, but it will be heartfelt. And it's all a reminder that life is always full of obstacles and challenges but we just have to keep moving on and appreciate good things when they also come along.

This last weekend was my birthday weekend but it was tough with me , my husband and our 2 yo being affected with a nasty vomit bug . I was so focused on searching for a job , worrying about my mortgage that I forgot that being safe, healthy and happy with our loved ones should be prioritized over all else . So coming this weekend we are going to celebrate my birthday and spend a family day with indoor bbq and just maybe going for a swim .

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer.

For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

I cannot sleep please any plan’ action and what to answer for the reason why you leave your company? I’ve been in 3 jobs for the last 2 years.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

What do I say if my employer asks me if I’m looking for other work, or want to know if I plan on leaving at a certain date?

some context - I am a temp to hire, and the company wants to bring me on full time now that my contract with the agency expires this week.

Ps. I am looking for other work, but this job is holding me over.
