Can we all try something in 2021- If it’s after 6:30 or 7pm, or it’s the weekend, or it’s over a scheduled break,PLEASE DON’T SEND THE EMAIL. If you need them to see it first thing in the morning, then Google how to schedule-send it so it sends in the morning. I don’t know about everyone else but I did not come back from the holidays refreshed. I came back sick of the WFH habits we’ve developed and I want them to change. People like this are ruining my mental breaks. Rant over. Happy Tuesday.

How about you just manage your own emotions about your inbox, and let me work when my kids are finally asleep without having to micromanage your feelings about my "sent" time.

Just don't check your damn email if you are taking a break from work.

Not sending anything to juniors late, not anyone's boss, just trying to work and really think it shouldnt matter when I send something.

I know about schedule send, I just don't see the point. Like, if my coworkers (who are also slammed and also working odd hours) happen to reply to a late night email the same night, cool, I can move forward! If not, no problem!

My work hours are not your work hours, and that’s okay. I send emails late because of kids but with no expectation that you will respond or read until you are ready. Turn off notifications and check in when it works for you. I think we need to change the culture of a 9-5 workday.

I think this is fine as long as you are VERY CLEAR about your expectations as not everyone is like you. I had an account director that would send me non urgent emails on sundays, CC her boss, and then just do my job herself if I didn’t respond bc j went to the movies or on a hike. Then her work would be bad so id just end up redoing it all on Monday anyway. As you can tell, I have not recovered and no longer send emails on the weekend.

Yeah, but how else will the team know I’ve been working till 11pm on insane deadlines for over a month? I will stop sending late emails when timelines become more reasonable (also a horrible covid work life balance consequence).

Wouldnt assume otherwise unless I was doing that person’s work for them and they gave up on a project at 6pm the night before a presentation

Agree. And don’t send me 70 texts while I’m supposedly on PTO. Build your post production schedule to avoid approval meetings during the week when the frigging office is closed for the holidays.

I get paid about 300k a year.* You can email me after 630p. It’s okay. That’s what the money is for.

I might not respond until tomorrow because I’m busy living the life that money pays for.

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

Geared or raw lifting? Why?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

Help- my SIL showed me two dresses she rented for my shower, and I think they are super bridal/not very appropriate to wear as a guest or bridesmaid. I have asked others and they agree.
