For me, I think work life balance comes from within, not from whatever team you happen to be on. At least that's my experience. I've done several different types of work in the tech industry and it all depends on your attitude. My work/life balance is great because I never let people walk on my boundaries. Call when I'm off the clock? It's going to voicemail. Email after hours? I won't even know until 9 am.

This! Set boundaries and maintain them

My job is big on work life balance, my manager and the teams I work with are all about it as well. No meetings after 1pm Fridays. Well being hours summer Fridays starting 1pm. People put commute, pick up kids, lunch, focus time on their calendar and everyone respects it unless it’s urgent. I think a lot of times it starts with your direct manager

Not great. We're in the middle of a crazy number of projects right now and are severely understaffed. It's making for really long hours and a lot of stress. Should hopefully slacken soon, but it's going to be rough for a few more weeks minimum. How're things for you?

I love it actually i hate weekends

My company cut staff to 4 days/wk to save funds. I was getting requests from coworkers for docs needed urgently on our day off (fridays). I would oblige them. But then, I learned that those same coworkers had been put back to 5 days because they were deemed “essential“. I felt foolish and decided to stop working on fridays. One EVP (not the GC) in particular has been aggressively texting/calling me on fridays. How Do I tactfully respond? My out-of-office email is not enough of a hint...
