How is work life balance for new SM - in strategy consulting - public sector ? Or is it 60+ hrs a week .

16 weeks and so worried all of the stress I’m under is going to hurt the baby. Between work, my own scary (non-pregnancy) health stuff, the pandemic, my mom (who is a widow and lives alone, basically isolated by choice due to covid) is having health issues, and pressures to keep billable hours up, I’ve been having complete breakdowns. Today I spent almost the entire day crying and now have to make up the billable time this weekend. I really worry abt what effect this will have on the babe.

Hi Fishes,

Need Suggestion I have an offer from Capgemini invent and KPMG global services ( in pipeline) which is a better organization in terms of learning ,project and wlb.
Yoe: 4.5

What are your thoughts on a job with a great company with great job security, great pay, great benefits, great work life balance, but very boring/easy work? I think I am this situation right now… (this is my first job out of college)

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
