Alright so this post is coming from a place of guilt so do not take it as bragging.

I have been employed for more than 16 years now and routinely clocked 60+ hour work weeks till before COVID. Once WFH started, I found it difficult to adjust working from home (especially with two toddlers) and found myself spending most of the time taking care of the kids (which I thoroughly enjoyed). Wife is a doctor and has erratic hours so I thought kids need the reassurance of at least one parent being around most of the time. Around 2021, I realised that my fitness has significantly gone down so I enrolled in a sports club and began playing squash regularly and religiously in the mornings. 30 minute sessions became 45 minutes which became 1 hour to now close to 2 hours (coupled with some running and swimming). By the time I login to work (I have UK hours: 11 am to 8 pm), I feel quite tired and at times take post lunch naps (during office time). My health has significantly improved but I have found that I am simply unable to stay productive at work for more than 4 hours ( around 4 pm to 8 pm). 

I am pretty good at what I do and one of the few technical people in a team full of Excel worshippers so one can argue that I get things done relatively faster than average colleagues. However, I have a serious fear that this level of slacking may get me in trouble and could even render me unemployable as I get older. Is this just a phase or a manifestation of a midlife crisis? Have others experienced something like this in their late 30s early 40s?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Honestly, I thought the added allowance would be worth it. 

But I honestly hate the work I'm doing and everything about the office in general. 

I miss chilling out in the evenings after work like a normal person, I miss just being normal and not having weird sleep patterns.

I cry or am on the verge of crying almost everyday. 
At this point, I just want to quit and take a few weeks to feel normal and happier?

Of course, given the market, this would be a very stupid decision. Unfortunately all the jobs I'm getting are usually a pay cut.

I don't get how people, with MBAs, families and an active social life do this, honestly.
I have neither and I freaking hate it.

Would quitting be actually worth it for my overall health?

I'm miserable working the night shift.

What’s your reason to prefer wfh?

Investor

I’ve lately been struggling with keeping my energy levels up through the day. My lifestyle isn’t that bad. Decent sleep, frequent exercise, I’m happy etc

But I find myself zoning out of conversations and this is affecting my ability to be “liked” at the workplace.

It’s not even about being liked, but as a person I don’t like not being able to 100% be there for people when they’re talking to me. It’s what makes us human, in a way.

People who are high energy, have you figured what your secret might be? 

thanks 🙏🏻

People who are generally energetic, how do you do it?

Product Manager

Been a night owl for most of college + career.
Current typical sleep time is at 2-230 and wake up at 10-1030. (Partial wfh, office hours from 11)

For health and productivity reasons, i want to switch to 11-7

Any tips by anyone who has successfully done this or similar.

Tips on changing sleep cycle

I’ve never been able to determine what’s a good amount of break to take for lunch. 

30 minutes feels too less
60 minutes feels too much

How long should the lunch break be?

Product Marketing Manager

I got a hybrid role in a startup that started late in morning.
Was waking up around 9 am to reach the office.

Now I have shifted to a remote role. Which has got me waking up at 1 pm (or 2) and awake till 4-5 am.

I don't have any reason for the shift; it just happened.
I have tried all youtube methods, but nothing seems to work.

P.S. One good thing, I have the soundest sleep now. Don't even remember snoozing the alarms.

Sleep cycle fucked - need help

Hey, everyone I'm a recent MBA grad (fresher with no experience) , i got placed in an IT service company for the first two months , i was nurtured to being a project manager but honestly that role didn't suit me , i come from a non tech background and the initial shift was 2 p.m -11 p.m.

But one week back my department was changed and now I'm in a corporate strategy role seeing the finance side of the project doing FP&A. I was happy that my role was changed but my shift is from 6 p.m to 3 a.m now and now I'm scared that this shift will ruin my mental health and cause other issues. But I really need the work experience, currently the market is pretty bad and with no work ex, It's impossible to switch. So my fellow 🍇viners help me out and give me tips on how to manage the night shift without ruining my mental health.
