    Compensation & Remote Work vs Compensation & In Office Work

    What we talked about on this episode:  This episode was inspired by a TT video I saw where someone shared their remote compensation, hybrid comp, and in-office comp expectations. It was said they ask for $20k more for in-office jobs and the person dueting it seemed shocked.  My response was good for them BUT that’s it?  Let’s talk about it.  Should you have different compensation expectations for a remote job vs a job you would be required to go into the office?  For simple math. Let’s say your hourly rate is $40/hour.  Your commute:  1 hour per day, 30 minutes each way. $40 x 5 x 50 weeks per year  = $10,000 15 miles each way, so that’s 30 miles per day round trip.  30 x 5 x 50 = 7500 miles you’re putting on your car each year.  The federal mileage rate right now is $.67/mile and at 7,500 miles we are looking at:  $5,025 Time and mileage just for your commute is now at:  $15,025 per year Food:  Buy lunch 2x a week and bring lunch 3x a week $10, which is conservative for a meal these days  $10 x 2 per week x 50 weeks per year =1,000 extra on food  Between commute and food, we are now at $16,025  Clothes:  Unless you can wear the same shit you can at home, in the office, you have to account for additional clothing expenses. Let’s say $2,000 a year on the lowest end. Now we are at $18,025 just in expenses for commute, food, and clothing. We haven’t factored anything in for the inconvenience. These are simply expenses.  Truly, do the math. What makes sense?  Hybrid = I’d do 75% of whatever the in-office number you come to is.  If companies are hell-bent on getting people back into the office, awesome, compensate accordingly.  Thank you for taking the time to listen, watch, and be here!

    WTF Does All The Office Lingo Mean (Also can we just stop)?

    What we talked about on this episode:  Let’s take this offline: discuss it later and/or in a different setting  Touch base: briefly connect or update on a topic  Put a pin in it: postpone or temporarily set aside a discussion Think outside the box: consider unconventional or creative ideas  Circle back: Return to topic later for further discussion  Low-hanging fruit: Easily achievable or readily available tasks. Get the ball rolling: Start a process or initiate an activity. Move the needle: Make a significant impact or achieve progress. Buy-in: Gain agreement or approval from others. Close the loop: Complete a task or finalize a discussion. Ping me: Contact me or send me a message. Bandwidth: Capacity or availability to take on additional tasks. Hit the ground running: Start a project or task quickly and efficiently. Paradigm shift: Fundamental change in thinking or approach. Out of the loop: Unaware of information or not included in discussions. Play hardball: Adopt a tough or uncompromising approach. Push the envelope: Challenge limits or try new and innovative approaches. Put lipstick on a pig: Attempt to make something unattractive appear better than it is. Running it up the flagpole: Presenting an idea for consideration or feedback. Table that for now: Postpone discussion until later. Under the radar: Happening without attracting attention or going unnoticed. If someone hits you with one, ask clarifying questions!  Thank you for taking the time to listen, watch, and be here! I appreciate you!  Socials:  Link In Bio https://lnk.bio/stephdennis TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@stephdennis13 YouTube - Marketing Talk @marketingtalkpodcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQy3_ODKAXbnO1zkzScTVfA YouTube - Career Talk @careertalkpodcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA-7EoX4wy2xt6BmfN-ZKEg Instagram https://instagram.com/careertalkpodcast LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniedennis/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/careertalklearngrowthrive Have a great rest of your day!

    Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

    Note: I hooked up the Shure mic wrong LOL this NOT an accurate sound quality, it is however the quality of a MacBook Air hahahaha Marketing Talk: Learn - Grow - Thrive Podcast Link https://lnk.bio/stephdennis We are written, produced, hosted and edited by Stephanie Dennis You’re awesome!! Go be your amazing self today!!!  Notes:  Dictonary.com The persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own effort or skills   Imposter Syndrome is very prevalent in the workplace The why isn't always going to be clear Every person is a human, all humans think differently, have different pasts, different traumas, different work experiences, different school experiences, etc.   Signs of imposter syndrome: Self-doubt Self-sabotage Perfectionism Difficulty accepting praise Negative self talk Constantly comparing yourself to others Overachieving Fear of failure Minimizing your success Fear you won't live up to expectations Burnout Workaholic - too many hours Minimize your brilliance Constant need for external validation Lacking confidence Difficulty dealing with pressure Anxiety Feeling like you're not good enough Distrust or ignoring your intuition You're the best of worst, no middle ground Not applying to jobs despite being qualified   What causes imposter syndrome? A lot of things can cause us to get imposter syndrome A few examples: School or work pressure Childhood experiences (constantly being criticized) Perfectionism Mental health status - bad week Mental health disorders (examples: OCD, Anxiety) Success - achieved it but feel you don't deserve it Personality traits Lack of diversity and representation Major life changes Societal expectations   I've personally struggled with imposter syndrome many times. Sometimes it's a phase of life that it something I had to work through for extended periods of time (Example - layoff ) Others it may pop up quickly and temporarily (Example - working on website)   How can imposter syndrome impact your career? Work-life balance problems Burnout Missed opportunities Trash communication Lack of career progression Decreased career satisfaction Fear of failure (analysis paralysis) Lack of self-development or motivation to do any Procrastination Confidence takes a hit   Overcoming Imposter Syndrome Own it / acknowledge it Talk about it Retrain your mind (correct self-doubting thoughts, turn them into affirmations and keep repeating them) Ask for help/support Learn to accept praise Take time for mindfulness and / or meditation Set realistic goals Learn to be flexible (goals, perfectionism) Learn new skills May want or need to get help from a counselor or therapist, etc. Facts vs feelings (great review vs feeling like you're not doing enough) Embrace failure and the lessons it brings Remind yourself of whats important to you Recognize and stop the spiral Talk to yourself how you'd talk to your best friend (kindness, compassion)
