I asked my manager if I could stop coming to meetings that could've been emails

and they said 'but then you'd miss out on the synergy and collaboration... and also your paycheck'

I just got a raise, but it's basically just an inflation adjustment

So now I can afford last year's lifestyle, congratulations to me

My manager just called an 'urgent all-hands' meeting to discuss how we can all be more proactive about asynchronous communication.

I've been reading self-help books to improve my mental health

but the only thing I've accomplished is organizing my bookshelf by recovery journey
