Sometimes it be like that :(

I know most of us don't have a choice as we need to earn to make our livelihood, but what keeps you going day in and day out? Or do you just wait for the weekends. I think very few people get to do what they love doing. So how do you get through the week ? What do you tell yourself ?

Not sure if this is true to its core, life depends on the people you spend time with,even if it is just few hours in a whole month. Thanks to the digital obsession and less socializing. But I always end up realising that I end up with the wrong people or surroundings. It just doesn't align at all and even though I give my best to get what I want so that I feel confident from inside on everyday basis,it fckin doesn't just happen. Guys let's be blunt on these,where have you ended up even though other things in life are well equipped.

Looking back at our college days, I remember how close we were. We used to think our friendship would last forever not only friends but cousins too, but things have changed. No one keeps in touch anymore. The friends I used to fart with are now distant, and when we do talk, it's only after months. It's frustrating. We're doing well financially, but our relationships are suffering. Whether it's because of work pressure or being tied to the office, we can't visit our hometowns as often as we'd like. On weekends, I find myself drinking alone, scrolling through old photos and videos of friends and family with some songs playing, and crying. Life goes on...! Monday comes restart....! I just wanted to share the feelings so i did :)

As a product manager, I sometimes get swayed by the different requirements that other stakeholders provide though it doesn't seem correct in a macroscopic picture. I feel this can be avoided by having an individualistic approach to the problem statement so that I have complete conviction on the problem to be solved. How should one approach this?

Some managers have better reach in the company and this let's their team be at the top of everything. I have seen people get promoted and praised just because of their managers reach to upper management and rest are left for scrambles many a time not because they don't work hard enough but because their manager doesn't cares about their job that much or maybe doesn't has that level of reach in the company These well fit in managers tend to benefit their entire team with more opportunities, better salary packages and benefits than rest. Is this trend everywhere ?
