I was having a lot of issues with this a couple of months ago but recently started holding myself to stricter work hours and I’ve been a lot happier and more energized as a result! I was always the person who would stay up until all hours to get something done, but I’ve found that being more protective of my personal time has led to be being so much more productive during work hours and forces me to delegate better, flag unrealistic schedules, etc. If someone pushes back, I just say “I need to sign off by 6pm, but I can tackle this in the morning”. Exceptions will come up on occasion, but they should be exactly that: Exceptions. And mismanaged accounts aren’t worth trading your life for. ☺️

What if you are the one who is tasked with making sure everything gets done? You are left holding the bag every damn time when everyone else gets to set boundaries. Maddening.

The best thing I did was set strict boundaries. I'll log on at 9 or 930 and I'm logged off by 530-6 . I also use an app to block teams or whatever messenger program on my phone so I cant open it until 9am the next day. If you don't set the boundaries people will see how much they can get away with

Do we know if there is a sponsoring partner that oversees this benefit/ program that I could have more of a heart to heart conversation with? Not getting too far with the general email box and admin contact. From the benefit policy documentation, my understanding is that EY reimburses employees for surrogacy / adoption related expenses up to $50k lifetime. However, anything related to IVF or medical procedures has to go through insurance (also limited to $50k lifetime benefit). Continued…

I know it's hard to account for every type of disability but we can at least start with the most common ones.
