Getting the Monday scaries… 😩

I used to put in a couple hours Sunday night to take care of admin stuff like time and expense reports, billing etc. No one is bothering you so it’s super efficient. You can do this admin stuff while a game is on TV. Would also gas up car on Sunday, get cash out, lay clothes out etc.

The point was to minimize Monday AM stress just in case Monday AM was crazy. Often it was not but the point was not to add to it. This was better for me than spending Sunday night worrying about Monday.

Thank you Director! This definitely helps. Great to know that we experience this at all levels.

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
