I hate answering pings on the weekend (especially at my current salary) but somehow I feel obligated to.

Anyone else feel similarly? Would you feel differently if you were paid… 250K? 350K? What’s your number?

1. You should have it clearly laid out in your contract what your expected working hours are. If you work outside those, it’s your choice. If you feel obligated to do so, talk to your boss or HR to clarify expectations from the company.

2. The only way I would ever connect how much I worked to my salary is if I was an hourly employee. Your salary increases as your responsibilities increase, not because you’re expected to work more hours or “respond to pings on the weekend”.

3. I do not respond to messages out of working hours because I want to send the message to my superiors, peers, and subordinates that I do not expect them to work outside of normal working hours. There are some valid emergency situations, but otherwise, if I do any work later on, I set emails to send at 8am on the next working day and I do not send IMs.

You can only control your actions - not those of others. Try being the change - don’t respond to those pings, but hit them promptly with good responses when you’re back online in normal working hours.

Or go work for someone or somewhere better.

Nope. Number does not matter. Health comes before wealth.

No point earning shedloads if I'm dead and can't use it.

Maybe of it was my own start up... but even then... people need breaks.

Fair enough. I still think we all have a number though 😂

200k would satisfy me rn.

Would not be enough to make me work weekends!

I don’t mind doing it - but I never have - as long as it is not excessive.

I make 350K TC I feel fairly compensated (btw older title).

I doubt pay would sway me but I grew up in the hood so at this point in my life it might. However, I wouldn’t do it in general. Unless I’ve agreed to work over the weekend any messages can wait

I think that would!

Im a third year and my current firm isn't bad and I'm pretty comfortable here. Im satisfied most of the time. There is one firm I've been keeping my eyes on because of its similarities to where I currently am (nice people, similar hours, culture).

Im a bit burned out now and I would love to take a long break. I'm hoping I can take a break (2 months) between the transition but is this a good reason to move though? Would you move in my situation? Im sure there will be a signing bonus.

In your experience, what is the one tool / must-have / methodology any of your companies use to bring about a cohesive and comprehensive go-to-market strategy in the launch of new products and services?
