Hello I’ new here
I recently switched to salary, and my workload exploded. Suddenly, everything is "urgent," so I'm working 2–3 hours of unpaid overtime at home every night. The company is billing the client for my extra hours, but I'm not seeing any of it. How do I bring this up with management? I'd rather not keep working for free.
My manager takes my work (which takes hours), feeds it to AI, and tells me to match the AI's output. Except the AI version makes zero sense for the actual project. I'm so annoyed and checked out that I'm skipping crucial steps in my workflow, making things worse. I used to love this work, but now I’m losing all passion. Has anyone dealt with a boss like this, or is it time for me to quit?
I’ve been working in construction since I graduated 5 years ago. I’ve gradually realized I don't want to do this for the next 3 decades, but I feel stuck. Is it too late to switch engineering disciplines without destroying my career progression?
My job is stable and pays decently, but I haven't picked up a new skill in over a year. I keep waiting for a reason to leave that feels urgent enough. Has anyone left a job that's comfortable but stagnant?
What’s something you believed early in your career that now feels completely backwards? I used to think the smartest engineer was the most valuable person in the room. Now I think it’s usually the clearest communicator.
