When working through multiple tasks I can't get really laser focused. Unfortunately sometimes it's at the cost of human connection with people I am interacting with at the same time. This can make me seem uninterested or unapproachable. It's something I have to always consciously work on. Do you experience this too? What are some strategies you use to help yourself stay in the moment with individuals when you're focused on other things?

I just remember to drop whatever I’m focused on and change direction to them. This does however make me have to refocus on my previous task and lose a little time.

I definitely need to focus on improving on that.

Received an offer at 300k/year and a Google offer at 200k/year.
I wanted Google since I started the whole interview process, but I am now not sure given the salary difference.

The position at Google is more junior and the team is just being formed, which involves more risk. However, I like the team at the other company.

The difference in salary is really considerable to push me to rethink this. Is it worth it? Can you share your experiences of when you accepted a lower job offer and why?

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
