Today. It was a sunny day, I was back at the office after a couple of miserable sick days, I had good food. I was happy, or maybe very content is more accurate. Although happiness is pretty much my default setting.

That’s tough, and I hope you can manage it in such a way that it is not a huge detriment to the team. I hope you can also share this burden with your manager because that is a lot.
About the dating situation, I see a lot of downside (potential for messy drama, meltdown of an already vulnerable direct report, HR issues if things go wrong) and just a little upside. I’d keep it professional, and if you like her enough, I’d wait until one of you leaves for another job, and then get her number to keep in touch.


So John doesn’t like his job. He also seems to be not performing well. He is vocal about it to the point that it affects others. Are you, as his manager, addressing this issue?


Probably not the site you’re thinking of but https://hiring.cafe/ does pretty much what you describe and it’s neat.


I use a Barbelts lever belt, 10 mm. Dutch brand. Should be around 50 euros. Very pleased with it.


Also a horrific amount of mothers dying in childbirth didn’t do wonders for the average.


Deadlifted 150 kgs (330 lbs) for reps this morning. Not a huge amount, but still nice. Other than that, a pretty uneventful week so far. Spring is just around the corner.


No amount of good colleagues can make up for a bad boss. Been there.


Well, I left reddit and now I am here.


If you dread Sundays because the next day is Monday. If you find yourself thinking “getting sick for a few days would not be so bad…”. If you just stare at the screen and can no longer focus on the task at hand. If you struggle to fall asleep because you keep thinking about work, and not in a “working through a difficult problem” way. Struggling to wake up in the morning, and when you do, not feeling well-rested. Excessive drinking. Your mind taking you to dark places. Feeling like you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders and if you drop out, things go to shit.


My own, not so much. But I love celebrating other peoples’ birthdays.
Replaced my Gillette razor with Boldking. Migrated my Bluesky account to a Eurosky PDS.
