They pay a lot of lip service to work life balance with no-meeting Fridays, summer Fridays, something called the blue zone where you aren’t supposed to have meetings etc, but none of it matters. But if it ever means telling a client ‘no’ then none of it matters. Without client management, setting the expectations of availability, then work life balance is nonexistent. Been here for five years, and it’s only gotten worse, bc it’s up to manager discretion of what is actually allowed, and the message is loud and clear that you can’t set boundaries with clients.

Parents want to send their children back to school not only for educational purposes but also for social interactions. I do understand that many children want that interaction with their friends and teachers. But I don't think it is going to be quite as rewarding as many think with social distancing and face coverings to be safe. No high fives, pats on the back, sharing earbuds to listen to a new song, or consoling an upset friend. Even facial expressions are lost. Tough times.
