It’s not right to take advantage of anyone for being young. Needing to “earn your place” or thinking your holidays are not as important because you don’t have kids. Dumb excuses.

Hold firm to your boundaries in this industry. They will walk all over you till you say no. I learned the hard way.

Even if you didn’t have a wedding, kids, extracurricular activities etc.... there should never be an expectation for people to work late every day.

I resigned because of a similar situation. I was told to "work more hours" when I had already worked back to back weekends and late nights. Life is more important than working more hours on a job.

Create boundaries. If you don’t advocate for yourself...no one will. I also think about all of my friends who gave so much to a company that I worked for (so many tireless hours) that ended up getting laid off without a second thought. Put yourself first.

I asked for a change in time as something came up, and she said she would arrange it and hasn’t got back to me yet. Before she would reply within 15’ to an hour max. What happened?

Deadlines can induce anxiety attacks for me. I worked through the weekend and just woke up to a (nice!) email from the client asking about progress. We're not going to hit deadline. This caused an all-out anxiety attack at 6:30 am and now I have to somehow get myself together and work.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.

Manager made it clear he isn’t happy with how I’ve been doing some of my work lately. His messages to me instantly brought up a whole mental can of worms. I felt myself physically having a panicked reaction, and I realize it’s bringing up issues I had with a past boss. How do I get past this? I have journaled, changed jobs, etc., but these same types of (micro)managers are everywhere, and I can’t keep quitting and moving agencies.
