Who else keeps it to themselves when they are overwhelmed? I'm pretty stressed at work. Our leaders know we are overworked but don't really have the power to get us help. Reason being we are short handed due to LOA's and FMLA which are federally protected so they can't be backfilled. Anyway, I find myself just internalizing stress because I want to appear strong and a great candidate for promotion. Can anyone else relate?

I absolutely relate I tend to only voice my opinion on workload once and then follow it with the “But I’ll get it done though”statement.

Sadly when you say you’ll get it done they end up leaning into that a little too often.

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
