By close of eyes is not a reasonable time for any deliverable to be due. You work from home not 24/7. Let’s normalize standard working hours; if work isn’t done within eight to nine hours in day then it’s time for evaluate systems, if all those Zoom calls were necessary and staff utilization.

By close of eyes? I have never heard that given as a deadline.

I hadn’t either until I heard that from my mom the other day. I thought she was joking and she’s like no, there’s EOD and by close of eyes. 🙄😱 An expectation like that seems more of a bullying tactic from those who cannot get their work done within a normal workday timeframe.

Agreed! I’m honestly at the point that if a client asks for something on a rush I almost always give some light pushback and explain our standard operating procedures. If they want quality they can wait an extra day.

The doors of the company won’t close if someone needs a few more hours.

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

Every time I speak to my director (at least twice a week), he works in how he is getting older into the conversation(humorously).

He likes to come across as a grandfatherly figure, but I’m not sure what to say in these encounters. It is always an innocent, non work related context. Have you guys experienced this ? What is an appropriate response ?
