As an A3, I finally understand why people work so late in busy season. It’s because you don’t get any work done until 6 pm, when the pings and meeting finally slow down. I can’t work on something for more than 10 minutes without something else popping up.

Literally. The only time I can get some damn peace and quiet to get work done is at night when no ones buggin me. Started putting fake meetings on my schedule and marking my status as in a meeting or do not disturb during the day lol

Yeah I’ve def put fake meetings in my calendar. It’s better than like a 3-4 hour block because people know that’s fake. The other thing I started doing in the google calendar is using the “focus time” feature to put blocks in.

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother working at 8am. I could sleep in til 11am or so and the same amount of work will be done cause I’m always up late doing it anyways. The distractions kill me.

How do you guys handle working with a staff accountant who just completely ignores you when you delegate work down to them, and who gives you an attitude all the time? If I send an email, I also have to follow up with her on teams multiple times, and hope after a few hours she actually does what she says she will do. I moved from public to industry recently, and I’ve always had great staff that wanted to do well and have never experienced working with someone who just doesn’t want to do the job.
