When you’re on vacation, how good of a job do you do disconnecting? I struggle with it. Badly. The biggest thing is I find myself feeling obsolete. As if being away from the office will show how I’m not needed on the team. I know wild. This is new and something that has only started in this current position. Working on it in therapy but it’s been a huge hurdle for me.

I turn off notifications to my email and slack. If they really need me, they’ll text me.

But let’s be honest, we’re in marketing, we’re not saving lives. We’re just making rich companies richer. It’s not a big deal or life changing.

Hey can anyone please give some honest insights on WLB and work timings at TIAA? I am looking for growth in terms of technology and learning but not by slogging for 12-14 hrs everyday...

To sleep or not to sleep? That is the question... that I’m contemplating right now. At what point is sleep the better choice in the middle of a very busy week? Will I be more productive tomorrow if I call it quits and actually get a full 8 hours tonight? Or do I keep churning out half-assed work product until the wee hours of the night in hopes of catching up, since I’m already two days behind where I need to be?

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao
