My company just laid off an undisclosed number of people but on my team we lost 50% so I expect the number is in the hundreds if not a thousand plus

Much easier to do when you keep a running tally - be it a word or excel doc - I tell every junior employee this. Not only can you copy and paste into your reviews and complete them faster, you’re also likely going to have more examples of your accomplishments than if you’re just trying to go off memory at the end of the quarter/year

Not currently. I’ve tried a couple of times but never found the right fit for a long term thing which is needed - when we were going through infertility I did seek counseling and one lady lasted a bit but it was just a vent session on my part. Look into any benefits you may have through work to help with costs as I’ve found that mental health is rarely covered by traditional insurances

It’s an evolution of his nickname no joke :lol: the boy poops like a grown man at 18 months

My kids would absolutely go wild for that - especially the youngest, turdward

Good morning everyone! Here’s to a productive weekend - need to figure out what to get my husband for his birthday

Why do you care? People like you are part of the reason she chose not to share

As a manager, this is a crap take.

My direct reports will not perform to the best of their ability if they’re sleep deprived or feeling stressed out from trying to balance parenthood and work. Also if reassigning work is an issue, you need to do a better job of managing your people’s workload.

OP, my husband got 4.5 months of leave and took it all. Between his leave and mine, none of our kids started daycare until 8 months. The first few weeks as a new parent are magical and special, but you won’t feel rested for a long time (going on 4 years of sleep deprivation) :lol:

We found that shifts worked best for us. So I would sleep like 7pm-1am (I did last diaper and feed then) and my husband would cover the first and second wake up then go to be at like midnight. I’d cover any wake ups after that. It helped us both get rest!

Enjoy the time and congratulations

Good morning!! Just shoveled my driveway and school is on a 90 minute delay. This is a very Monday Tuesday

Tech specifically has been bent over a barrel by layoffs in 23 and 34, if this were to happen, then I guess they’ve also solved for their mass deportation issue as everyone in tech will be freed up to work on the farms.
