Another request for free work. I feel tired.

Last year, I met a job scam followed by request for free work. Feel depressed. looking for work to clear my study loan. Recently, a schoolmate starts her own business and requests me for free consultation and work. Oh no! I feel tired of these situations. I am confident to do the work, but not without any pay. Somebody, will you please help me?

Just prepare a holding liner "I'll be glad to work on this and here is my price list"

You have the choice to say no. You have to learn to say no to people who wants free labour from you. If you want to be nice all the time, then you must know that the world out there will have people who will take advantage of that.

Learn from your past mistakes and to protect yourself. Learn to toughen yourself first.

Anyway, tell that school mate you are busy with job search, doing side hustle, and have no spare time.

If you cant work, then study. Don't feel like you are lagging behind schoolmates, when you are actually doing the preparation. Sooner or later you will need to find real work, not free. and be able to apply your skills.

Constantly feeling tired at work, cant get up in the morning. Not sure what’s causing this fatigue, could be burn out but really feeling v lethargic every day. Any one experienced this?

Just curious, if you constantly work till say 55, saving diligently and investing occasionally. Can 1 survive? Feeling tired at work and thinking of retiring already...

I feel tired everyday, despite having sufficient 7 hours sleep. I dont know how, has anyone faced this and any recommendations to overcome this? Tried coffee & no longer works :/

All the while, I try to be respectful and accommodating. Agree to meet another person. Suddenly, someone requested me to meet for 1 hour. Today, suddenly, I feel angry about this.

I work in the supply chain and my work typically involves processing figures and coordination. I feel a lack of motivation for my job. Any advice on how best to work through this?
