That sounds unsustainable. I get that we work on teams, but never understood why some manager require everyone to work late even if some finish early. You should be able to go for a run or just go home early and go to bed if you finished your work. Might be time for a conversation about work life balance, good luck

No gym until everyone is done? We get SO many emails about well being at work, and even a new irpm feature for it. Your managers ignorance is unreasonable. On the other hand, ask for forgiveness instead of permission. Tell them you have a bad case of the runs and were in the bathroom for a little longer than intended. See if they wanna go down that road as well...

Good point

Aren’t allowed to leave the client site til around 7-8pm. And when I told my M that I was going to go for a 15min run when I wrapped most my work up, she told me “no gym until the last person on your team is done”.

If she is trying to get the team to mentor the weakest team member, then she should just say that directly. Holding people back in this manner isn’t reasonable.

Talk to you counselor maybe? This is a horrid situation and sounds like your manager just sucks, especially if you are working 12 hour days

“Aren’t allowed” ???? Are you not an adult. Push back and say exercise is important to me and something I have to do. I will work out at these hours.... you will be surprised by what you are “allowed” to do when you firmly state what you require. Your M may be upset for 30 sec and hopefully then move on. If not you prob. don’t want to work with them anyways...

Sometimes managers don’t realize how important it is for you, unless you push back

Started Zoloft a little over a month ago. I’ve been taking it around 9am with breakfast. It’s helped me a lot so far with anxiety and mood. But it’s making me so tired. I go to bed around 10-10:30 and naturally wake up around 7. But I find I wake up often during the night which makes me not have restful sleep. Should I try taking it in the evening? During the day I’m usually very tired by noon and wanting to nap.

OK gonna maybe open a can of worms here but I have to ask: it seems the sudden inflation we're seeing has taken the ins. ind. by surprise. The cost/expense projections done X yrs. ago for this and poss'y subsequent yrs. have been thrown off. Costs to repair/replace cars have shot up unexpectedly. Same for houses. Med costs have all gone up. Ins. cos. have relatively thin profit margins to begin with. There's talk of cost-cutting measures-- incl. layoffs. How realistic are these concerns?
