Managing Role Redundancy and Internal Redeployment
Work & Career / by Silverwillows8128

 June 9th
...See more I work as a recruiter at an organization, and this is my first job. I've been here for about eight months and handle end-to-end recruitment activities, including sourcing, screening, interview scheduling and coordination, and releasing offer letters. A couple of weeks ago, my skip-level manager informed me that my role had become redundant due to a reduced workload. Senior leadership was considering letting me go, but he advocated on my behalf and suggested that I be moved to another team as an Interview Scheduler. I was given the option to either accept the transfer or serve my notice period and leave the organization. I chose to accept the transfer. At present, I continue to work with my original team on two open roles while also supporting another team with interview scheduling and coordination. But my work load has increased.I am expected to work on every Saturday, although Saturday is a non working day for us

The Weight of Rejection

...See more Lately, not being able to find a job has been really weighing me down. I’ve been trying, applying, hoping,but every rejection or silence makes me feel a little more hopeless. It’s hard waking up each day feeling like I’m not moving forward, like I’m stuck while the world keeps going. I keep questioning my worth, my abilities, and whether I’m ever going to find a place where I truly fit in. It's exhausting to stay positive when it feels like nothing’s working out. I just needed to let this out, I feel tired, discouraged, and honestly, a bit lost.

Feeling a bit hurt in a friendship - Am I overreacting?
General Support / by Silverwillows8128

...See more I'm reaching out for some perspective on a situation with a friend from college. We have a great bond and always have a blast together during lectures, laughing and joking around. However, I've noticed that our friendship feels a bit one-sided at times. I've asked him to hang out outside of college hours twice, but he's declined both times due to other plans. The first time was understandable as he wanted to celebrate his mom's birthday back in his hometown. This time, I'm assuming he has other commitments as well. What bothers me is that he hardly ever calls me. In fact, our communication is mostly limited to when we're face-to-face or texting. The rare times he does call, it's usually because he needs help or has questions about college work. When we do text, we usually chat for hours, but it takes him a while to respond. It hurts when I see him hanging out with others but not making time for me, despite us sharing a great bond. I know he's a social person and hangs out with many people, which is totally fine with me. I'm not judging him for that. However, it feels like he prioritizes spending time with others over spending time with me, even though we get along so well. I'm trying not to take it personally, but it's hard not to feel a bit left out. Am I overreacting, or is it normal to feel this way? Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated!

Group Projects Can Be So Frustrating!
Student Support / by Silverwillows8128

...See more As a final-year MBA student, group projects are nothing new to me, but this one is really testing my patience. We were assigned a secondary research topic, and I spent a lot of time working on the research report, making sure to cover all the necessary points. However, one of my team members—who didn’t contribute much initially—decided to call my entire report “wrong.” To her credit, she has rewritten a significant portion of the report, but now she expects me and our other teammate to step in and finalize it. This is especially frustrating because I’ve already put in so much effort, and to top it off, I have a job interview tomorrow. Between preparing for the interview and dealing with this project, I feel completely drained. Sometimes it feels like no matter how much effort you put in, group dynamics can still make things unnecessarily complicated. I know this is part of the learning experience, but it can be exhausting. Just needed to get this off my chest.

Loneliness

...See more I suffer from chronic loneliness and deep loneliness leaves behind a deep ache that begs for some relief, some form of connection. A long-lasting emptiness has crept into my existence, ripping my soul apart. Each passing moment feels heavier as the absence of human warmth and understanding linger relentlessly. All in all, loneliness is something that cannot be satiated and makes me feel hollow, squeezing my heart tightly of all the happiness.
