AskABoss: 'I know it would help if my manager were to check in with me on the phone every day or two, but I don’t know how to ask without seeming needy and feeling like I’m wasting his time'
I want your advice about “asking for what you need” during this time of pandemic. I’ve been at my job nearly seven months now and I love it. It’s a great step into a sector that’s hard to get into and that I’ve wanted to be in for a long time. We have a small, tight-knit team that I really enjoy working with.
I’m really lonely. When I’ve tried to mention how isolated I feel, I’m met with the “we’re really lucky compared to x/y/z” response from some of my colleagues or it’s otherwise been glossed over. I know I’m very lucky to have a stable contract and guaranteed pay because that isn’t the case for many right now, so I feel awful for feeling like this.
As for your boss, it’s probably not reasonable to ask him to check in on you by phone every day, but can you set up a standing weekly call? A regular weekly meeting with your manager is a good practice anyway, even in normal times. If your sense is that he’d resist having another weekly obligation on his calendar, try initiating it on an as-needed basis instead.

What If Your Quarantine House Were Filled With Annoying Internet Trends?Memes are the internet’s love language to the people; this fact does not change during a pandemic. As shelter-in-place orders continue indefinitely, the internet is reflected the mood of self-isolation in the form of the “choose your quarantine house” meme. According to the Washington Post, the quarantine house meme may have originated on Facebook with a focus on quarantining with groups of celebrities, but it’s also reminiscent of 2019&039;s “where yall sittin,” which broke down anything and everything, but mostly celebrities, into cafeteria cliques. In the same way users were given the option of choosing a single table in the virtual cafeteria as a reflection of their identities, the choice is now which virtual quarantine house would be the most desirable to ride out the remainder of the shelter in place order.
