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.

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

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

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!
