What challenges do you face at work?

Thanks for sharing Angi! Being open with management is really important in any job. I know I would be drowning sometimes if it weren't for the support of my boss (shoutout to @Emily Cahill!). I love that you also mentioned lunchtime yoga! I think it's so important to have flexibility with your schedule and work life balance so the long days don't become overwhelming. My dog likes to get an afternoon walk every day, and it's really nice to just get up and step away from the screen!

Hi Angi, ➡️ "be open with my boss when I feel overwhelmed".✅ I can only speak (write) for me, I say: "health always comes first". Worked for years in environments where the only constant factor was "change". Not yet diagnosed with my autism at the time, I got to "enjoy", (fill in your favourite word for "can not compute anymore", also referred to as burn-out but more severe) a full stop (body said: "enough"). Turned out, "Hello autism". Which explained a lot if not everything and I (not overnight) made a "180" (work/ private life / mindset etc) and that is where "health always comes first" originates from (for me). You take care of you 😊 Best, Mark

Sometimes it is hard to find everybody and get them back together to make sure everybody knows what needs to be done in a day. Everybody I work with has Teams or Slack but there still is the element of knowing whether is someone really there or not.

So I think people end up with a lot more meetings than they would have if they were entirely in person and could walk up and speak to people and worst case scenario someone is waiting for a signoff or something they need to do their own work and they don't hear back in time.

Hi Alex, I echo that. Plenty of tools (software - as you mentioned) which (at least in some theory) could/ would/ should provide a clear "horizontal" view of what is going on, may (at least in some reality) actually cause "silo's" or an unclear "vertical" view. Best, Mark
