“What’s up with the hat,” my boss asked me over Webex while I sit in my own house and the hat has the writing of the company for which we work for…

This was a not so sly way of saying, take off the hat

It’s crazy that the thought process would be that if I wore a hat, from home, that I’d not know enough to not do it sitting with say the CEO

"Then why did you send me the hat?"

funny

Lol so not only did you pay for it yourself, you're not allowed to wear it? Yikes.

OP, Are you Gino from 90 day?

Similar thing happened to buddy at Deloitte. He was wearing a hat and over the ear noise cancelling headphones bc he shared his home work space. The Deloitte MD said it was inappropriate for doing such on an internal call yada yada

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

How do you deal with references as a freelancer? Most of my past gigs - I had managers on paper but it was a formality as I led my own work so don't feel comfortable asking them to be a reference.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
