Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
Been off on stress leave the last couple of days but I’m lucky to have an extremely supportive manager. They let me take the days off without using annual or sick leave. Also found a good psychotherapist through work’s EAP services which has helped.
That’s really cool they let you do that. Hopefully you’re feeling less stressed, and not sitting at home worrying about all the work that’s piling up.
Part of the stress is that there’s no funding for the next 3 years and therefore very little work. There’s a wave of redundancies that’ll be announced this coming week.
Going to be tough.
Good luck, hopefully you’ll get through unscathed.
Thanks. Unless something has drastically changed I’ll be safe but will be losing a lot of good colleagues.
Yeah that’s usually the way. All that institutional knowledge gone.
