Nah. I’m very busy, but I refuse to buy into the mentality that you need to work 12+ hour days and weekends in this industry. Yes there are long days. Yes there are occasional weekends. But it should not be a regular thing.

I get my work done on time, but I do not answer emails at all hours or set the expectation that I’m available. People generally respect the boundaries that you set yourself as long as you get the work done well.

Any thoughts on the IP litigation outlook in Atlanta and/or Charlotte? Looking to move but I’m not sure of the workload there. I predominately focus on patent infringement at my current firm.

My boss is asking me to do someone else’s task while they’re out on medical leave. This is the 2nd thing I’m having to take over for someone since someone else left to another dept.
I am already on the job search looking for a better job. But, he doesn’t know that(obvi). I get annoyed that they keep thinking I can take over anything without compensation.

Is it unethical as realtors working in an office to block chunks of time off for personal reasons? Some of my coworkers stay in their desks for up to 10 hours, but I've taken up the habit of blocking at least 1 hour daily for lunch, breaks, and other issues that may arise. Do you do this as well or do you prefer to work straight through your day?
