I’m in post and just got told by a producer, “You’re so fast, you could probably cut two episodes a week.” Like… thanks? I already work late most nights to stay on top of deadlines. I want to be a team player, but I also don’t want to be taken advantage of just because I’m efficient. Where do you draw the line between being reliable and being used?

I think you are well beyond where the line should have been drawn. That would have been the time to say "I actually work X amount of hours to get this done and I'm concerned it's not sustainable".

Yeah don't take the bait. If you do they'll start to expect you to deliver and if it affects your worklife balance and stress, I don't think it's worth it. It's okay to set boundaries and say you can only deliver one episode a week. More than that is a fast way to burnout.

I think if you’re not actively getting anything out of it don’t go for it. Don’t ever do more work than is expected unless you get something in return, people start to expect it after a while and it makes your leverage harder.

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.
