And for those not in the US, how's your day/evening going?
My grandpa leaves the hospital today for hospice care at home, so that's a downer. But, on the bright side, I found my wallet this morning! So that's awesome! I thought it was lost since Saturday. Nope, it just fell out of my pants and behind one of my record shelves. Luckily my transit card and debit card stayed with me while it was missing so I wasn't high and dry.
Same shit different day. At least I get to work from home. Dreading having to commute starting next year ngl
Find a new job, if you can! I've been looking since the summer, but know exactly how you feel. Guess our CEO signed like a 10 year lease on our office, so he has a big hard on for making people work from there again. My team is in the office 2x a week now, which yeah, isn't so bad, but I'd rather be working remote with the pups.
I wouldn’t be the first at our shop that’s for sure
I feel like I am constantly settling, professionally, probably because I think I’m worth less than I am in reality. Probably some trauma to unpack there
I thought the same for a while, but then I looked up what market rates for my position were in my city, and I've been on a crusade for a higher salary for the past 6 years.
Yeah I mean I know how to do it right, it’s pretty common knowledge in a PMC context that to maximize earnings one should switch jobs every 2 years
It’s just finding the will to apply, and do all that bullshit that i would rather miss. I also am ok where I am in that the hours are reasonable and it pays enough so aside from more money for moneys sake it’s not clear what I’d be seeking by switching. I’m also not greedy. But then I see others with my same degree making multiples of what I do and it sort of makes me wonder what exactly is going on here
One of the most depressing things about capitalism is how every work day is basically exactly the same, it just completely monotonizes life. Of course the pandemic doesn’t help either
