which is worse: Toxic ex or toxic workplace
Broke up in 2020, thought of giving all my energy to my job as my career won't wake up one day and say I don't love you. Jan 2024 update - Got silent laid off from EY. Anyone else going through the same trauma? How to heal?
Has the workplace become noisy due to hybrid culture ?
Lately I have been going to office often and every time I try to focus and work, some or the other person is on a teams calls talking out loudly. It was really very difficult to work for me. Just curious if you guys also feel the same way or have I just gone all very comfortable working alone at home so even a work calls of other people are annoying me?
