lol what. When I’m not at work, the notifications are off. Full stop. If it’s really, truly an emergency, give me a call. Otherwise, message away into the void and know I’ll respond when I start my work day.

8pm. And that's just responding to an URGENT email. Unless I'm actively in pre-production, I try to set boundaries and am pencils down at 6pm so I can be a parent.

lol… when I log off for the day, I close the computer and log off. I don’t have any work apps on my phone. There is literally nothing we do that requires us to be on call. It can wait until morning.

If I have plans after work or am too busy to check my email, then I don't respond. However, most nights, I'm just chilling after work, so I might check and respond to a few emails.

Depends on how fun the project is. Fun scale 1-5: 1=boring. 5=inspiring. 1-5pm. 5-8pm

Only as late as my laptop is still on. I don’t have Teams or work email on my phone so I wouldn’t know I had to respond to something.

If I'm up, I'll respond. Unless the message is asking me to actually do something.

I’m expected to reply if awake.

It depends. If I know there are super hot projects in flux maybe 730 or 8. If not, 630 max.

Around 0pm cos you shouldnt be checking your emails after work hours

Unfortunately I’m available to her 24/7? I’m afraid they’ll fire me if I don’t

Curious age of most people answering. I’m still in the - if I see it I’ll answer, if it helps someone who is stuck working late I’ll try. If it’s a busy time I will. But also was the 24/7 early in my career.

3pm

Depends. I will not on the weekends. If it’s week day and something urgent, I will hop on.

FIRE THE MICRODICTATOR.

END WORKER EXPLOITATION WITH

ITS MORE GRATIFYING THAT REPLYING TO YOUR BOSS WITH THE MIDDLE FINGER EMOJI.

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended. I focused on my niece and nephews, cried when I wanted to and slept from 8pm-noon for the last 5 days. Showered once or twice. That’s the best I could do and that’s OK right now. I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄

What are some side gigs people have done that they wouldn't pursue again today? Are there any you'd still go for, but would approach completely differently?

Thinking along the lines of:
- Platforms you'd keep away from
- Gigs that people have missed the boat on by now or instead that have just taken off only now
- Specific hustles that aren't worth the upfront cost/hassle in setting up or that are super hard to hire for
- Policies/attitudes you'd adopt going into things this time around

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

Thoughts on giving less than 2 weeks notice?

I’m quite frustrated and ready to start new job ASAP. I’ve been at current job for nearly 3 years and anyone who might be potential reference for future jobs (old bosses) has already left the company. I have good relationships here otherwise too.
1.5 week notice will work out with my upcoming travel plans and personal life as well, but concerned about if agencies really put you on “do not rehire” list?

Anyone give less notice and get in trouble?
