You need to become selfish and learn to say 'NO'.

Even if they escalate to HR , you just need to say to HR that due to some personal (Family /Health etc.) commitments I can not work on weekends and extended shift hours.

You can release me from the project if you have this expectation.

Bottom line is - No body can force you to work if you are not willing to do. Do not take much stress. Enjoy and work on your skills so that you can always be ready to grab other opportunities in the market.

Best way to say NO is that ask your manager to modify timesheet as per extended hours or weekend work. After that s/he will never ask you to work overtime or on weekends.

I have one pro bono case that I kept when I left my firm to go in house. It’s a matter completely unrelated to my company and I have malpractice insurance through the nonprofit organization associated with the case. I’ve made clear to my client that I’m repping this client in my personal capacity. No one has asked me specifically about pro bono stuff at my company - if I know there’s no conflict of interest, is this something I should disclose? To whom should I disclose this?

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.
