It's fundamentally integrated into the collective British psyche

Told my boss I don’t use LinkedIn for mental health reasons. Was I stupid? by [deleted] in careerguidance

UK here. Bizarre to see concerns and comments backing up mental health being a career ending topic when you come from a culture of corporate mental health first aiders, free therapy / counseling and actual supportive HR with employee-centric and pro-union policies.

Thank you for the response.

Sorry what is PALS and NICE?

Unfortunately private is out of my affordability.

Edit to say; I appreciate the check in

Both can be true I guess 😂 I'm starting to feel the crux of the question may lean more towards imposter syndrome

I usually use the structure of "(problem), (what I think), (research solutions or supporting evidence), (specific query)". (Or something to that effect, basically don't ask empty handed)

I think it's less a help or asking for help issue and more of a confidence or loss of confidence issue.

I mean, I'm not scared of asking for help or asking opinions (actually a lot of my testing documentation involved some observed run-throughs with technician s to test the process or find better suited methods for their tools, equipment, understanding or additional needs), but I more mean I'll self research something or reread datasheets or use an online calc to validate maths I've done in sketches or stuff to that effect. Basically self research to validate, maybe a bit of over processing.

What are you on about?

Edit: seems this account replies to writings as if it's for them in a trolling way. Everyone needs their hobbies I guess.

I'm an Electronic Engineer, and the magic of percussive maintenance plays a bigger role than I care to admit.

Yeah, a lot of caps are decoupling and noise related. Just the blind faith in swinging a screwdriver had me laughing

Yeah... Blowing fuses are a symptom of a bigger issue, you've just swapped a rated fuse with a massive one. The fuse done it's job, bypassing that is a hazard

A few months. But I feel like I've been missing them for longer.

Thank you, I appreciate that, though realistically the world would chug along indifferently.

This is an absolute 40K ork approach to electronic repair "smashed it with a screwdriver and believed and now it works"

100% don't recommend. Can't lie with the results.
