Why is that leadership think its so important to put up “urgent” deadlines, when they pretty much sit on the candidates I forward to them for close to a week?? Are they worried I won't do my job well if there's sense of unnecessary urgency induced? I'm so sick of not hearing back from them, which in turn hurts my ability to get back to the candidates who are eagerly waiting. Am I the only with dealing with this nonsense?

I've figured the deadlines are just performative. It's a way to keep pressure high and show activity, even when there’s no real rush behind the scenes. Unfortunately, it puts recruiters in an awkward spot and we get stuck waiting on decisions, delaying responses to candidates who deserve better communication. You’re definitely not alone. Voicing it might help push for a more transparent process? It didn't help me but maybe your leaders are more receptive?

I think a lot of people are just wired to deal with deadlines and over time assigning deadlines has worked for them. I assume the leadership you're talking about would have a lot of things on their plate. So even if you adhere to the deadlines, other things may get in the way on their end.

good point

Deadlines are a necessity. Labeling everyone with urgent or high priority isn’t. It gets overused a lot, true. It should come down to a conversation about what the timelines look like.

yesss everything labeled as urgent makes it lose its meaning and effectiveness

nope, lots of my leaders will do this too. I think they overestimate the amount of time they have available, and are still anxious to get the process moving.

Took my first ever sick day today on account of my very poor and worsening mental health. Just could not bring myself to put in another 14 hour day with back to back meetings and constant activity. Felt very guilty but I honestly wish I could be more honest and actually share with my manager about why I took a day off.

For those also going through this, any tips on how you manage yourself day to day? What self talk tends to help?

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
