Barely slept in 2 days

I barley slept in 2 days my head is killing me and my body is shaking. Another late night ahead and day of getting yelled at. I can’t think and my body hurts. I mess up and my associate ccs the whole deal team so everyone knows. I feel like I’m really done. I’ve been ridiculed all week. My md talks to me like I’m trash. 

 

I've been in your shoes before and to best honest, I took the hit at work for the benefit of my health.

Stress, no sleep, and body shakes is a key sign to take a step back. 

 

Not going to lie, this is the worst situation. I had just one time where I had to be in the office for 65 hours due to a combination of an IC meeting + busted af model + tyrannical senior guys who made sure we were up right up until we finished presenting at IC. It was absolutely the worst experience of my professional life and I actually fell asleep while presenting at IC three times. If you're put in that position, it's usually as result of poor management on your seniors' part.

 

Say you’ve got covid symptoms - you’ll get a couple of days while waiting for the test results (even if your bank expects you to work through it, as appears to be the status quo at mine, it might generate some sympathy)
