ARE YOU EXPERIENCING WORK-FROM-HOME FATIGUE OR IS IT TIME TO MOVE ON?
I’ve worked from home for the last decade as both an employee and a business owner.
I can tell work-from-home fatigue is setting in when I’m easily distracted and move from one task to another without much focus.
Four things I’ve found helpful to combat work-from-home fatigue are:
--Step outside for a 5-minute break
--Get dressed as if you were going in the office
--Get moving with 20 minutes of exercise halfway through the day
--Walk away from your work for at least 10 minutes
If you try these things consistently and you’re still feeling that fatigue, maybe it has nothing to do with working from home.
It may be time to decide if staying at your job or going in a different direction is best for you.

I don't know why, but I have been feeling hesitant about publishing a portfolio.
I just feel so scared in posting all of my accomplishments online where anyone can see. I've tried multiple times creating a career portfolio and I always abandon it midway. I also feel like I don't have enough accomplishments I can brag about. Any advice?

I am not quite sure what to put this in the comments.
But at my work, they pay the males more than they pay the females, even if the females have degrees. I have three degrees. The two men that I work with get more then I do. The one that just got hired gets $2 more an hour then I do & has no experience or degrees, the other one has been there one month longer then me & is handsome & never even finished school with a very shady past & gets $3 more an hour then I do. I have also worked in this industry for over 25 years. I’m very upset about this & have already approached management about it twice. Any suggestions?

I ran across this article on salary negotiation.
The tips come from an Indiana University professor of business law and management. I thought I would share since I've seen posts in the past asking how to negotiate.

I have been working for a company for over 7 years.
I'm a valued worker and am excellent at what I do. I am an accounts manager and I spend a lot of time working with customers and ensuring the accounts of sales projects are correct and in scope of their contracts. However, our workplace is toxic. The salesMEN are very demanding and demeaning of their coworkers. They are non-communicative, demanding, and rude. The boss seems to be more interested in money from sales than the moral of the overall workers. I have had confrontations with a couple of these salesmen as I try to provide support to them. My boss just told me he wants me to work from home because they feel I'm am difficult to work with. I am concerned about not being able to fully complete my job tasks now as I am isolated from my co-workers. Even though me boss has provided me with computers, dual monitors, phone and a printer at my home, it feels like I'm being pushed out.
