How often do you work on the weekends? For how long? I’ll start. 75% of the weekends this year - on average 5-6 hours for the weekends I worked. 30-40% of it is because I signed off early on Friday (like 3pm), the rest is extra work I had to do

Mostly it's 70-75 hours a week due to lockdown. I try to keep Sunday for myself and work no more than 5-6 hours on saturday

It depends how much your boss have taken you for granted 😜

Friday - Work couple of hours on Friday, do some informal connects with client, catch early flight back home

Saturday - All to myself

Sunday - Spend a bit working late in the evening, mostly prepping up for Monday morning flight and meetings.

During Covid times, I have tried to keep a similar schedule.

Hi Fellow Fishies,

I am reaching out because I was recently contacted to interview for Cigna Provider Engagement Development Program. I wanted to see if I could connect with anyone on here that I can help give a breakdown of what this program entails, day-to-day, and WLB. Any tips on the interview and interview process for anyone working in this position? I would be truly grateful for any help or information that can be provided!

Sometimes it feels so lonely that you start questioning your existence. When you don't have people to talk to, you have friends but they don't have time. You're single and living in hometown. Life means stress, it's really difficult to live a happy and peaceful life. There is so much of chaos, anxiety and loneliness inside of you that you feel wierd.These are the emotions right now, and I feel them very often.
Many a times feel like growing up has been an injustice to myself. ☹️ sad life ☹️
