Go Tokyo! Haha. What would you want more time freed up for so you can have a 4-day work week? I feel like it's not in the DNA of the USA but do you think America can ever function on a 4-day week? :D

Oh wow. More power to Tokyo lol. America definitely can't do 4 day weeks without having one massive pain attack.

I live in LA and honestly, there are SO MANY hikes that I have not gone on and will never find the time for. So if I wanted more time for anything, it'd be fto go on more hikes. Especially because I know for a fact it'd help me get my creatives juices on too.

When I started in the early 2000s there was all this promise of a four day work week. I remember thinking how amazing it was going to be. 25 years later here we are.

Nobody smashes in Japan tho.

I've assumed the four-day week would never happen because traditionalists would be ardently opposed to it. But the traditionalists are also crazy, for whatever reason, about declining birth rates. So if it was pitched as having an extra day to get those birth rates up, maybe that would be a winning strategy.

How is the work life balance in biz ops? Currently have an offer but haven’t been able to really figure this out. I’m moving from consulting

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!

Hi!! I’m an HR Coordinator currently (about two years of experience) but my job has so many responsibilities and tasks I’m beyond burnt out. It’s truly impossible to focus on one task because things are constantly being thrown my way. I’ve heard whisperings of a promotion or raise, but my workload is already too much, I don’t know if I’d want to accept more responsibility. Is it normal to feel like you have just as many responsibilities as your superiors who make 30k+ more than you?

Are there any agencies where creatives actually have good work-life balance in LA, SF or anywhere else for that matter? Like no weekends or no working more than a 40-50hr week? Or do I have to go in house for this? Or do I have to leave advertising altogether?

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.

Currently a paralegal at a small start up financial services company been there for just a little over a year. I wear “multiple hats” but more recently I’ve done a lot of PM work and some BA work. My position title is changing soon but I’m wondering how helpful that would be for wanting to go into PM work at a tech company. Anyone have any career pivot advice? (Also I’m only 1.5yrs old in my career so I’m definitely still new, and I have previous experience as a project assistant).

Moved to the city about 6 months ago and I’ve been disappointed in my experience. I know the pandemic is playing a factor but I didn’t expect the winter days as gloomy as they’ve been. For those who have lived here for a while, is this normally what the winters are like? What do you do to keep things interesting when you can’t go outside? Last two months have made me consider moving but part of me feels like I won’t have given the city a fair shot
