Does everyone like to hang out with their coworkers after hours or do you run home when your shift is over so you can dodge happy hour invites?

I spend 8-12 hours in the office; that’s more than enough time with colleagues/coworkers/team members . You can’t have my evenings too - that’s “me time”.

Sometimes I find it helps on stressful weeks

I go home. On the rare occasion, I’ll go out. Like CIO1, I want my evenings for me, my family, and friends.

At a previous job I used to hang out with coworkers pretty often, these days hardly ever. It's partly because the people are different. But I think I also aged out of it, the hanging with the colleagues thing is fun for a while and then you kind of get to the point where you've done it and don't need to keep doing it.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.

Been in Seattle for ~1 year and something I’ve observed is the constant s*it-talking of the city from the locals. Is this because they haven’t experienced other places? While the current homelessness in the city needs to be handled, crime is still relatively low compared to other major cities. The complaints about gloominess also seems a bit dramatic. I’m from the NE and am so grateful to not be dealing with snowy winters and sweltering summers.
