How do you deal with passive-aggressive managers?

I'm struggling, please help! My manager discourages me from participating in meetings, making new connections, presents my work as hers, and takes credit for my ideas and when I try to do any of this, she takes it out on me by giving me petty jobs that are not even important. She is extremely insecure and I have tried to mold myself to work with her. But 1.5 yrs later, she is getting worse and worse and I'm getting nowhere. The situation is extremely frustrating and instead of showing maturity, I have started to retaliate. I have tried confronting to her but it hasn't led to anything fruitful.

Steps to stop digital eyestrain when we relentlessly stare at screens

Adjust your monitor. Position your monitor directly in front of you about an arm's length away so that the top of the screen is at or just below eye level. It helps to have a chair you can adjust too.Due to Pandemic most of our work has gone virtual. Since lock down we are tend to spend most of our time in front of laptops or mobiles. The amount of time we spend staring at screen for longer duration can put us at risk for blurry vision, eyes strain and dry eyes. There are few steps to reduce digital eyestrain:

Blink often to refresh your eyes. Many people blink less than usual when working at a computer, which can contribute to dry eyes. Blinking produces tears that moisten and refresh your eyes. Try to make it a habit to blink more often when looking at a monitor.

Take eye breaks. Throughout the day, give your eyes a break by looking away from your monitor. Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

Adjust your monitor. Position your monitor directly in front of you about an arm's length away so that the top of the screen is at or just below eye

Check the lighting and reduce glare. Bright lighting and too much glare can strain your eyes and make it difficult to see objects on your monitor. The worst problems are generally from sources above or behind you, including fluorescent lighting and sunlight. Consider turning off some or all of the overhead lights.

Adjust your screen settings. Enlarge the type for easier reading. And adjust the contrast and brightness to a level that's comfortable for you.

Use an app. There are several apps you can download on your computer that remind you to take breaks or automatically adjust your screen settings to protect your eyes.One example is f.lux, which changes the color and brightness of your computer screen based on the time of the day so you aren’t straining your eyes. Another example is Time Out, where you can set up alerts that remind you to take short breaks. 

Stay hydrated. Dehydration can make chronic dry eye symptoms worse. And if you’re staring at a computer screen for an extended period of time on top of that, not drinking enough water can make your eyes feel even worse.Stay hydrated by drinking at least eight glasses of water throughout each day

stop having terrible one-on-one meetings challenge

Most one-on-one meetings are just awkward check-ins that go nowhere. We've all been there.

The problem? No structure, no follow-up, no real outcomes. The solution? Using actual one-on-one meeting tools instead of just winging it.

What changes when you use proper tools:

✨ Shared agendas (no more "so… what should we talk about?") ✨ Goal tracking that actually sticks ✨ Action items that don't disappear into the void ✨ Meeting notes you can actually find later

I switched to using Deskchime for our team meetings and honestly? Game changer. Meetings went from "meh" to actually productive. If your one-on-ones currently feel pointless, maybe it's time to try tools built specifically for this. Check out:
