I had a director do this 2 weeks in a row, tried to discuss it, he wasn’t listening I quit immediately. I had options though so be careful

Were you already planning on leaving for sometime?

When did you give them the deck to review? If Thursday night (and if it’s urgent it be completed), then yes, you should probably work on it this weekend. If any time before that, then say that you have plans this weekend but can have it back to them by Monday night.

When are you giving the draft to your manager? Thoughts for if you're giving them the draft in a timely manner (i.e. you're not turning it over to them on Thursday afternoon):

1) Ask if it can be delivered Monday, instead
2) Ask if they can move up their review timeframe going forward so you're not stuck holding the bag for weekend work
3) Ask if this timeline is a result of client requests; if so, can y'all meet the client halfway and adjust the timing going forward

Set expectations - I have family commitments and will work on this as I am able and will get it to you as soon as I am able, I am not able to commit to working over the weekend and having this to you on Sunday. If you are Jewish you don’t use tech on Sat anyway.

Could you just bang out a draft this afternoon? How dense are these slides?

No number crunching but fairly content heavy and requires research. A due diligence deck of sorts.

Been w/ my bf 5.5 yrs, but I keep wondering when he's going to "get it together". He's been fired from 2 manager jobs in less than a year, one because he was caught doing coke there (off-duty). Now he's bartending under the table. I have huge concerns that he has serious drug/alcohol problems but it also just boils down to, does he want to improve? He's the kindest, sweetest person and we really love each other. But at some point I need my partner in his mid-30s to have a savings account 🤷‍♀️
