My wife is experiencing burnout from having way too many responsibilities in her job with not enough pay.
However, the environment with her colleagues is really good and she's enjoying it. (The boss is the only toxic one and is a problem)
I genuinely believe she deserves higher pay for the amount of work and value she's doing for them.
How would you negotiate a higher salary?
Lots of my friends have been saying this recently.
And get this, (depending on the study and how “ghost jobs” are defined), estimates suggest that roughly 18–27% of listings may be ghost jobs. meaning roles that are posted but not actively being filled.
Why are they doing this? Marketing?
Do you guys recognise when a job posting is a fake one?
For thousands of Meta employees, the morning began not with a daily login, but an email ending their careers. News of Meta cutting 8,000 jobs carries a massive human toll while signaling a profound corporate shift.
Lots of my friends in the tech sector are fearing the worst actually.
What about you guys?
Can anyone be prepared about this?
With burnout being so common, I’m curious what actually works for people.
What are your real, practical ways of protecting your mental health while working full-time?
Therapy? Boundaries? Leaving on time? Not checking email after hours? Hobbies? Medication? Changing jobs? Something else?

Hey everyone,
Job searching right now feels harder than ever (at least through my eyes) and that's whether you’re a new grad, career changer, or just trying to level up.
I’ve been learning some brutal lessons the hard way and I’m sure many of you have too.
So I guess: What’s one thing you wish someone had told you before you started this job hunt?
Could be about applications, interviews, salary negotiation, mindset, red flags, whatever.
Very curious to find out your thoughts!
r/recruitinghell, let’s talk about the one rejection that makes zero sense.
I’ve got 15+ years of professional experience (management, operations, hospitality leadership) plus a brand new CS degree… and I keep getting told I’m “overqualified” for roles that are barely mid-level or even entry-adjacent.
Meanwhile I’m also getting rejected from “senior” roles because I’m a career switcher.
It’s like you can never be the right amount of experienced anymore.
Anyone else getting slammed with the “overqualified” line constantly? Or what’s the most ridiculous rejection feedback you’ve received lately?
Vent away. I know I’m not the only one losing my mind over this.
I’ve been experimenting with different application strategies lately. Some weeks I only apply on company career pages. Other weeks I go hard on LinkedIn Easy Apply.
What’s been working best for you right now?
Drop your experience, might save some people a ton of wasted time.
