No tactic required, just talk to him/her. Unless you have a very special skill, replacing you shouldn’t be that big of a deal. Your travel must be impacting you as well as the project at this point
Step 1: identify a natural transition point that gives enough time to train your replacement
Step 2: talk with the SM, tell them what you told us, and mention that you’ve identified a natural transition point and are willing to train your replacement
In the short term, ask for some remote weeks - saying that being sick impacts productivity and you’re more productive if you don’t travel
Just tell them that, a good SM/PPMD will understand
Similar situation . On month 8 of BOS to SFO, after 4 months of redeyes, I was facing similar impacts. I talked to the Partner, and we agreed no more redeyes, and if something urgent was needed on Thursday nights then I would fly first thing on Friday. While it did take away a day from home, I saw great improvements in my health and ability to enjoy the weekend.
also doing weekends at la may help to recharge + weather in feb is definitely nicer there
Not that nice this february
Month 3 of weekly travel US - EU. I feel you..
That is tough - I would say that surely a remote week once a month is manageable but when your running teams/facing client and delivering work it’s very difficult to manage that delegation comfortably.
Is there a chance to discuss travel and on-site flexibility? Like perhaps a work from home week every 6 weeks or so?
Similar situation. Clt -> lax. Have been taking red eye for 4 months and it was catching up.
I just brought this up to SM, proposed leaving early on thursday...or even opting for Friday am if there’s a meeting and he agreed. Most I’ve found are reasonable and will help accommodate
