If I’m not working then no, if we are working on the weekends then when will we ever have time off?

Agreed. We need more boundaries in this field.

Once in a while and usually it depends on the content whether or not I’ll respond. If it’s something important then fine, not a huge deal, but if it’s nonsense stuff that could easily wait until Monday, I really had to make it a point to not get into it until the weekday comes back around.

I don’t answer emails on weekends or after 6:30pm unless I’m on a deadline/working on something time sensitive. This field has no respect for boundaries so I find it important to hold firm in mine

One or twice a month I’d say. And yes I respond.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

So I told her what I tell myself, “There’s always another way to say something.” I also said that my bosses change my work, too. She quickly replied, “Yea, but they don’t change everything!” I laughed and showed her my screen. My ECD was in the middle of deleting all the words I just wrote on a slide.
