Automatic red flag to have an engagement kickoff just before the holidays, receive emails at all hours of the day (to include weekends/holidays), be told there’s a lot to do but “it’ll be a great opportunity”, and then be told leadership wants people to prioritize work life balance? Figured I’d be looking for an exit soon, but this just pushed it up.

Honestly sounds like you have great leadership. Usually they tell you to expect no WLB and buckle up

Surprised to see this coming from a director. Are you new to consulting or your firm?

Nope. Just had leadership in the past that respected boundaries and shutting down. But I guess when you have leadership trying to ‘prove’ themselves, the shit flows downhill

I got a ton of e-mails this week and ignored them all.

They're saying "prioritize" WLB? That's a neutral term; they're saying neither high nor low priority. Taken literally, it's a meaningless statement. As usual, we all have to set our own boundaries.

That sounds like a hell of a client. Nobody is going to die by waiting a couple weeks. Only M&A could be so pressing on dates and have real impact.
