How’s your WFH workload, all? This week: Mon: 10 am - 2 am. Tues: 9 am-8 pm. Wed: 10 am-9 pm. Thurs: 10 am - 8 pm. Fri: 9:30 am-8 pm. Sat: 10 am - 7 pm. Sun: noon - 4 pm, then 7 pm - 11 pm.
This ... is ... not ... sustainable! I’m the sole earner and have a kid, so “just quit!” during a pandemic is not it - and “setting boundaries” ain’t easy when I’m always reachable by text/zoom/email. I’m fortunate to have a job, but damn. Working From Home = Working Forever From Everywhere. And it sucks.

Nope. I refuse. If we have a Monday meeting with the client. I push it. No reason to work weekends right now. Not for me, not for my team.

At what level did you start doing that? Executive level people run the show. Think anyone else could refuse without a talking to? I once took a night off for my anniversary to go see a broadway show that I had casually and purposefully mentioned to everyone on the project. Some dumb shit went down that day and I just went. Nearly got fired.

This isn't WFH. Your agency sucks. I'm sorry. Look around in your (spare?) time. People are hiring. You don't deserve this.

Yes, it’s a weird, new dynamic; I’ve skipped lunches because of “deadlines” and my kitchen is 10 steps away.
Before WFH, I would always go for a 30 minute lunch break at the cafeteria, but no more.

You gotta start saying no. Stop responding immediately just because people contact you and your phone is on. Set boundaries. People will adapt and respect them.

I quit from that same workload last week, but I don’t have a kid. It’s not sustainable and something needs to give. All of our clients knew it was happening too and would just say “sorry, we know you guys are going crazy, we really appreciate it” but do nothing to make our lives easier.

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission. We recently did layoffs, I was kept however there have been changes & meeting quota has become difficult & we have a way heavier workload. The perks are amazing but I need to make more money. Do you think I could get a role with more money with my experience that’s fully remote even in this “recession”..thoughts?
