How do you guys deal with so many meetings? I have an average of 30+ meetings for the past three weeks and I'm getting burned out.
Unfortunately I'm expected to lead most of the meetings so I'm unable to push them away.

For ppl in a similar situation, do you guys wake up super early to complete the work? Any strategy would help

Please tell me you have vacation planned soon or at least the holidays

If you have all the days, I really would just take those days off. I've been where you're at right now and I NEEDED the time off to just not touch work things

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing? Upon starting this job a couple of weeks ago, I discovered between the time I interviewed and my start date they had hired a new CEO, laid off all of their off-shore teams, changed my position to a new hiring manager, and added an on-call rotation to all engineering teams. None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.

Anyone else use work as their escape? People complain about not having work life balance but I only stay for the long hours. I've battled with depression and anxiety for the last decade because I got married and started a family too young. I'm in a more financially secure place now but my marriage has mentally exhausted me. We're just together for the kids at this point.
