Impact>Effort

I work from home and stopped trying about a year ago. I do monthly closing entries (10 hours of work), but other than that, I hardly do anything. I take my time responding to emails, decline meetings I don't have to join, etc. Since we were acquired and there's been turnover in management, my boss doesn't know what my job involves, and is also weirdly-averse to delegation (workaholic type), so I don't get assigned to anything. Since I'm just chilling all day with my dog, I'm holding out here until they replace me.

Well my boss called me up today to tell me I'm doing a ""great job"". We exceeded targets, so I'm getting 2x my bonus, and a 15% raise. It's a game about making impact and just being present to upper management. How’s everybody doing? Feeling burnt out in yours too?

... Read moreIn today's ever-evolving work landscape, many are re-evaluating what it means to be productive, especially in remote work settings. The shift to telecommuting has blurred the lines between effort and actual impact. Despite performing less visible tasks, you might find your value recognized when your contributions align with company goals. As we navigate these changes, it's crucial to focus on maintaining a balanced mindset. Burnout is a common topic among remote workers, especially for those who may feel isolated or undervalued. Strategies such as setting boundaries, prioritizing well-being, and engaging in open communication with management can help mitigate stress. Encouraging discussions within teams or forums about burnout can foster a supportive atmosphere where employees share coping strategies. Moreover, understanding the dynamics of company culture post-acquisition is vital. With management changes and turnover, adapting to new expectations while ensuring your voice is heard can make all the difference. Engaging with peers about their experiences can provide insights into navigating these transitions effectively. Make time for yourself, pursue activities that bring joy outside of work, and don't hesitate to reach out for help when needed. Together, we can tackle the challenges of remote work while recognizing the importance of both effort and impact.
