I just saw this on LinkedIn, and can certainly relate. But I don't feel guilty about taking time off since I'm the work-hard/play-hard type. Do you agree their chart showing the percentages of senior levels who don't unplug is accurate?

Check in on work is different from doing the work. Senior leaders are often final decision makers and in order to keep their teams functioning by directing.

This feels spot-on. I’ve found that even when I try to disconnect, there’s always a part of me that feels tethered to work. It’s not necessarily the healthiest habit, but in a senior role, it's easy to feel like you’re always needed. That guilt of unplugging is something I’ve had to actively combat, reminding myself that rest is productive too.

I definitely think this is accurate. Don't get me wrong I take every hour of my PTO because if I have to earn it then I am going to use it. However, I am not great at fully unplugging. I am guilty of taking calls on the beach because I didn't want anyone to be mad at me.

Hi Folks,

After the HR discussion, how many days it will take to receive the offer letter please. As of now status is showing undee consideration in the portal.

Has anyone switched labs for better lab quality/embryologist experience? Wondering if there is a significant difference between labs. We got poor results at our current clinic and, happens that our clinic is rated lower on SART website. Wondering if the lab quality is the reason or if the clinic handles complicated cases that lead to lower outcomes. Overall, unsure if we should switch clinics or just try again at the current one. Thanks.
