Kontras
Experiencing stress is inevitable in any business, and Headspace is no exception. Lately, both mine and my colleagues' resilience has been severely tested due to persistent inconsistencies at both the company and department levels. The decrease in benefits, the rise in healthcare plans, and a mid-year change in the pay schedule, resulting in a smaller monthly payout, make it exceedingly challenging to rely solely on 'the mission' for motivation. Isn't there a saying? You can't pour from an empty glass? I genuinely feel like that empty glass. Despite having every other Friday off for rejuvenation, it's tough to resist logging in and pushing through work, especially with looming deadlines and diminishing teams. Let me add, I recently sought therapy to cope with the overwhelming stress. The irony isn't lost on me. It underscores a deeper issue of burnout and a sense of lacking support within the organization.
