Can someone explain to me in practical terms how to set boundaries? I see this thrown around a lot and I’m curious what that actually looks like and how you deal with pushback from higher ups.

You don't say "no" you say, "OK, I can get this to you by (day), is that OK?" if they say yes, log off at whatever time you planned. If they say no, ask them to help you prioritize other things on your plate. Either way, you're logging off at the time you planned. When there really is a legit emergency, don't make a stink about it, work the extra time. That builds trust that when you're assigned things, you get them done as planned. When something is an emergency you rise to the occasion

SM1 is so right and I empathize with this so much. I also struggle with being a people pleaser but the worst you could do is overpromise/under deliver and then not have good boundaries yourself. You’re ultimately your best advocate - and have to take care of yourself!

If you had a table of customer experience/satisfaction survey responses for several questions (non-numeric but discrete possible answers, no free text; 1 question per column and 1 responder per row), how would you approach determining significant insights within the data? Excel's "Analyze Data" feature doesn't really suggest things that make sense in the real world. Is there something you would try with correlations somehow, or would you use a non-Excel tool entirely?
