I need to withdraw my resignation letter. Is this realistically possible, given that I got a 5 rating in my review cycle? Has anyone gone through something similar?

Some context: I joined PwC in late 2025. During joining, I was upfront that I have my real sister’s wedding in late February. For those unfamiliar, an Indian wedding isn’t a one-day event. It runs across several days and involves a lot of shopping, logistics, and running around well before the actual ceremony. My output would be divided between the two because I’m the sole male responsible for handling things at home.

The review cycle landed in Feb, early March and eventually in June, as a result of my work during that period, I was given a 5 rating. Because of that, I was asked to resign.

Since then, for the last three to four months, I’ve been putting in the work. I now own several parts of the project on my own, with complete reliability on me, and both my director and manager are aligned that they want to keep me. I don’t want to leave. The pay is good and I have no plans to look elsewhere anytime soon. I need the income to keep coming in.

I spoke with HR, and they told me there’s no way to reverse it. But I want to know if anyone has actually managed to get a resignation reversed after being asked to leave. I also have a doubt: if the director or partner sends an email saying they want to retain me, could that change anything?

Previous post was removed by Reddit’s filters. Hence posting again.

Some context first: I started MJ in August and used it through mid-March. Went from 110kg to 89kg over that time. But I stopped because my weight completely stalled for good 2-2.5 months. I went up from 7.5mg to 10mg to 15mg (15 doses 😢) yet the weight did not drop. As a result I stopped taking the med.

I'm planning to restart now and I was going through the pinned community post about splitting the 15 mg pen in various doses based on the person's needs.

I want to take 5mg from that 15mg pen (it’s called splitting dose ig)

I have two questions:

⁠1. I've had my 15mg pen since Feb/March. I used it once snd since then it's been in the fridge the entire time, never taken out. Is it still okay to use now? As per the guidelines it is advices to discard the pen after 30 days if you have used it.

2. If I split my 15 mg pen and inject only 5 mg:
   ● Will that 5 mg dose be just as effective as using a regular 5 mg Mounjaro pen?
   ● Will it still last for the full week, or does splitting the dose make it wear off sooner?
   ● Is there any downside to using a split 5 mg dose instead of a standard 5 mg pen?

Posted about this a while back but didn’t get any responses, so trying again.

Looking to get access to Applicant Lab. If anyone has a discount code, promo code, or a subscription they’re no longer using and wouldn’t mind passing on, I’d really appreciate it.

I’m currently working on my MBA applications and was hoping to use ApplicantLab as part of my prep.
Does anyone have a valid ApplicantLab coupon or discount code they wouldn’t mind sharing. Also, if you’ve already used ApplicantLab and no longer need your subscription (or if there’s a legitimate way to transfer or share it), I’d be incredibly grateful if you’d consider helping me out.

Tldr: Never felt satisfied or happy in life. Made artificial conditions to be happy. Even after having those artificial conditions met, still not satisfied/happy

For the last three years, I have been trying to get into my dream MBA program in the United States. I believed it would be the step that would propel my career forward, but every single time I applied, I failed. The last rejection came in January, and since then, I have felt completely lost, with no goals and no direction.

I have been sitting at home just doing my job. This job pays decently by the standards here, but I do not enjoy it. I rarely leave the house. I stay at home, out of shape, with no energy to do anything because there is no goal. My job is fully work from home, so there is really no reason for me to step outside. And even if I do, I do not know what to do. I feel aimless.

I have always had this sense of FOMO that I do not have friends, I do not have a girlfriend, and I do not have anyone I can truly open up to. I have always felt that way.

But today, for a change, I went to watch my favorite team, Barcelona, play against its fiercest rival, Real Madrid, with a friend. This is something I usually complain about, that I do not have people to go out with or anyone to accompany me to events. But today, I actually had that.

And still, I was not satisfied.

To top it off, when I went to the screening, I saw a couple sitting behind me, and I immediately felt a sense of jealousy. Then there was a group of friends sitting in front of me, and some of them were chatting with their girlfriends or potential matches. That made me feel insecure. It made me feel like I am missing out on life. Like I am not doing what people my age are supposed to be doing. Like I am wasting my youth by not talking to girls, not putting myself out there, and not living properly.

Even outside the relationship aspect, I felt disconnected from everyone around me.

During halftime and even before the match started, I interacted with a few strangers. But whenever I have conversations with people, whether it is family members or strangers, I feel like I am not interesting at all. The conversations feel flat. Even I do not feel intrigued by the way I talk or the way the conversations flow. Honestly, if given the choice, I would probably not even want to talk to myself.

This is one of MANY examples and I’ve felt like this for as long as I can remember

And that is the problem.

I know that my mindset is a huge part of this. I am fully aware of it. I know I need to change the way I think. But at the same time, I feel so aimless and so directionless that I genuinely do not know how to come out of it. I lack confidence in myself, and because of that, every time I think of starting something new, there is always this doubt in my mind about whether I will even be able to follow through with it.

It feels like a loop.

In order to get out of it, I know I need to think more positively. But then I look at my life and feel like there is nothing positive happening in it, at least from my perspective. And because of that, I stay stuck in the same cycle over and over again. I am fully aware that I am trapped in this mindset, but I genuinely do not know what direction to move in anymore.

What bothers me the most is that even when small good things do happen, I still cannot feel satisfied.

Today should have been a good day. I got to watch my favorite football team win an important match. I got to go outside after a long time. I got to spend time with a friend. I got to be around people. These are all things that I usually feel I am missing in life.

And still, I did not feel good.

Instead of enjoying the moment, I kept comparing myself to everyone around me. I kept feeling like I was not good enough, not interesting enough, not confident enough, and not living life properly.

And that is why I say that it feels like there is a leak in my box of happiness. No matter what good enters my life, something inside me drains the satisfaction out of it.

I genuinely want to know what you guys think about this. I would appreciate any advice, perspective, or even honest observations. I just want to understand why I feel this way and what can actually be done about it.

P.S. I always saw myself as someone who had control over his life and someone who was sophisticated and emotionally composed. I never thought I would become the kind of person who would write something like this publicly.
