Ever notice how “urgent” always means “your problem”? I’ve got a producer who texts me at midnight about things that could 100% wait until morning. And if you don’t reply right away, somehow you’re the one with the attitude. I like my job, but I also like sleep and sanity. Is it okay to push back in this situation?

Definitely stop replying, just say that you put your phone on sleep mode- it’s your downtime, you need the rest

Stop replying. The second you respond once, you’ve trained them to expect it.

Then have the attitude, because the expectation to be available 24/7 is crazy. Push back in terms that you want to do quality work, and midnight texts aren’t the way to do it.

They are expecting way, way too much from you. There is nothing wrong with setting boundaries and sticking to them. You do not work a 24/7 job. Turn off your notifications and get some sleep.

Definitely push back on that that’s ridiculous. It’s good to have a strong disconnect between work and free time, you don’t want those crossing over if you can avoid it.

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
