Is it better or worse to answer work emails only half the time when it's working hours? Feeling the pressure to always be "on". Gotta answer those late-night emails to prove I'm dedicated... but secretly longing for offline time. They can't expect me to be on my phone 24/7....right?

I usually glance at the notification and make a decision if it’s worth reading. I typically don’t respond but I would if it seemed urgent. Nothing I do is urgent enough for after hours emails though lol

I’ve signed out of my work email on my phone and almost only limit work communication to my computer. That way during work hours I respond and otherwise folks will get an out of office message.

If my manager absolutely needs me then they will call me. It has done wonders for my work life balance

So, I started working full-time at a retail store for clothing and accessories and after a brief dispute with my supervisor (my bike broke down which made me come in 20 minutes late to y shift) they told me that it seems like working is not my priority, so to make it easier on me I would only get 20 hours a week.

Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.
