Episode 480: Do I just coast until I quit and going back to work after a long time

The Soft Skills Engineering podcast episode 480 features hosts Jamison and Dave answering listener questions. They begin by thanking their patrons and then dive into a question from a listener named Mutombo, who is seeking advice on how to handle a frustrating work situation where they are underappreciated and underpaid. The hosts advise Mutombo to focus on doing reasonable work while prioritizing their job search, and they also discuss the importance of addressing the situation professionally in the exit interview. Next, they address a question from an anonymous listener about returning to work after a long absence due to personal issues, offering advice on how to ramp back up quickly and reassure the team of their commitment.
