I’ve about 7yoe. 3y in product. And I already feel that I enjoy the role less now. I’m tired of writing tickets whole day, doing things that don’t have great outcomes, coordinating and doing program management work. How do folks who’ve spent like 10/15 years in the role manage to balance this? What do you do to recover and recuperate. Ps: only answer if you’re experienced. Tia

Lately i have been struggling to cope up with my work and family . It’s been very difficult at my work lately. Also my personal life is a roller coaster mentally! I feel difficult to cope up. People at my work are sarcastic about my performance even though i am fulfilling all my basic tasks. I sleep very late thinking about all these things especially my personal struggles! How are you guys coping up?

So, my boss is an absolutely lovely person, and is the best boss I've had so far. Not to brag, but I'm also the best performer in my team, by a mile. So, while I do get my pats on the back, I'm also rewarded with more and more work. I love, atleast so far, what I do, so I didn't mind taking up more work, because I learnt a lot in the process too, and it helped my hone my craft better. Cut to now, I'm losing interest in work. Don't feel like taking up any new work, no matter how exciting the brief, or how great its potential. I feel like I'm burnt out. And majorly demotivated. What makes it worse is seeing this other member in my team chill the absolute fk out. He's hardly even given any important projects because of what a waste resource he is. I've also just been promoted. So, I'm not sure if I should share what's on my mind with my boss. My mind says I shouldn't, but my heart says it should be fine. What should I do about: 1. Telling or not telling my boss what I'm going through (because I'm scared if it'll come back to bite my later) 2. Me feeling extremely burnt out and demotivated. Drop in a joke or two, if you want, but please drop in a serious and genuine reply too.

I work in a startup, have been since the past 4 years. Earlier it was WFH, I had the liberty to work whenever I want - task had to be done. With experience, I've felt that my work life balance has gone for a toss. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I feel exhaused and burnt out. This is also sucking out ownership from what I do. To all the GVs out here, have you guys tried doing something that's helped you? Or are we all on the same boat here? Are folks in MNCs going through the same? Genuinely seeking for help here. I just feel ki, I should stop running behind money now. Take a pay cut if needed and join a company thats a bit more established. Ps: In my case working from office seems like a total waste of time. I had been so much more productive at home. Thanks!

For the last 2 months I have been trying to go to the gym and take care of my health but every week something or the other comes up and I'm working more than 14+ hrs sometimes. 12 hrs is average. Every time something is going on in my mind around my work or performance or layoffs and a lot of things. I'm frustrated. Can somebody tell me what should be the best way to handle this? Because of this I have high anxiety and also not getting proper time for personal life. I also feel a lot demotivated sometimes , thinking that why I'm working till 2am and for what?

I have in tech for about 5+ years and feel no urge to work. Every morning I feel like quitting and just relaxing for 6 months - 1 year focus on health and self. But then without salary how will I manage in long run. I want to know if this is me or others feels so as well and wanted to ask people who have 10+ years of experience how do you guys manage to work in corporate for this long
