Yep! This is always good advice. Sometimes I try to wait it out and I always end up paying for it the hard way if I don't take good care of the machines. Any horror stories in this area?

Aggressive content that targets an individual maliciously and/or is deliberately disrespectful (e.g., attacking a user in a way that wouldn’t be appropriate in a work setting).

Content that interrupts a productive conversation by being overly pessimistic,
rather than civil and constructive (e.g., being highly critical of a company or individual without context).

Kindly let the author know when their negativity has crossed a line into disrupting the community.

Content that violates your privacy or the privacy of others (e.g., someone’s identity is revealed against their will).

Content that indicates a member of the Fishbowl community is a danger to themselves or others (e.g., sharing personal info about a co-worker that could lead to their expulsion).

Unlock an exclusive space for [company] employees

I have a lot going on in my personal life right now that's really taken a toll on my mental health. I don't think it's impacting my work, but I do think I need to practice better WLB right now. Do you recommend I talk about what's going on with my manager or just keep it quiet

Do you prefer to have your PTO separated by vacation, sick, and personal days? Or would you rather have it banked so you can use it how you want? Personally, I like the structure of having it separated.
