When the two hour round trip commute eats away at the workday and takes away from prioritizing actual work 🙄 yet all LTs seem to care about is ticking off a box of being in the office.

I think that most of us would agree with you about working remotely and not wanting to commute a long distance every day. I enjoyed working remotely during the pandemic. Before that I was permitted to work remotely on occasion and also worked from home instead of staying late in the office.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937), the US oil baron was born on July 8 but he celebrated the day Sep 26 every year with much more zeal and enthusiasm.

That's the day a teenager Rockefeller joined the Cleveland merchant company 'Hewitt and Tuttle' in 1855 and started his career as an assistant bookkeeper.

For Rockefeller, his 'Job Day' was much more important than his own 'Birth Day'.

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about.
