Does anyone else feel weirdly more stressed around the holidays? I put in PTO weeks ago, but I’m still getting Slack pings, quick questions, and calendar invites labeled “should be light.” Last year, I took three days off and still worked every night. At what point is PTO actually PTO in this industry? How do you disconnect during the holidays without coming back to a mess or being labeled disengaged?

Probably depends on your firm/industry.

For me, the keys are setting expectations with clients and having a backup to field qs while you're out.

Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm doing patent work. I applied to a part time masters program to try to pivot to a different technical field (still doing patent work, but in something that interests me more than what I’m doing now). Do I try to stick it out at the firm while getting the masters, ask for a reduced hours schedule, or get a part time, non-legal job so I can focus more on the program (one year).
