Almost never forced work weekends unless I’m working on a pitch or something else major. That happens maybe 1-3 times a year.

Sometimes I work weekends on my own accord because I’m bored an/or I’m excited about what I’m working on

Similar. Rarely have to..a few times a year for a pitch or big client meeting. May work to get ahead. [currently watching compliance videos while i clean my apartment 😴]

Almost every single weekend since the beginning of the year.

Not a single weekend, but I'm not a creative.

Fewer than six.

All.

Zero!

Before today? A couple this year. But I started today at 6AM.

At least one, frequently two.

None

A few year almost exclusively for pitches

1 or 0

In a month? 5

0

Every single one…

Almost every weekend since I started working in an agency. But of course I recognized that this is unhealthy. Going to change these soon.

Usually 0

Averages out to two ish

All of them.

depends on whether we’re in production, maybe 1-2 every 4 months.

Most of them.

During heavy production cycles 3 out of 4.

About every other weekend. Perpetual new biz

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Hello!

I joined Accenture 5 months back as a lateral hire ( Level 11 ) and have been a part of a project since day one.

I am not enjoying my work here, no motivation at all. Dreaded to report to work and having stress and anxiety. My manager is trying to micromanage me as productivity is on the lower side.

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.
What are my options here ?
Is project release possible ?
or I have to put down papers ?
