Lol

Different poster.

I’m pushing 50 and I’m a C suite manager as well. Post-covid, the job has become difficult because people have become difficult. I spend my day dealing with people who no longer want to come to the office (they only need to come in once or twice a week to meet with and manage their teams/projects, including onboarding and training new people). They are now easily overwhelmed. Several have disclosed mental health issues. Many have lost soft skills and create drama with coworkers or entire departments.

It’s exhausting.

If I could find something else to do at 70% of my salary I’d take it. But I have kids who are going off to college in the next handful of years, so I can’t retire or decrease my salary too much.

I wish everyone would just chill out, be professional, and do their job. [/quote]

Amen to that. [/quote]

Another Amen. I am truly baffled by the people I manage who could competently do their job pre-Covid and now spend most of their time creating drama in order to not have to work. [/quote]

Have some empathy. They are also doing a 2nd full time job as well. [/quote]
