Is it normal for a VP to expect 10-minute response times on a Saturday? There isn't even a big deadline right now, but I feel like I can’t even go to the gym without checking my phone. Has anyone actually talked to their senior about this, or do I just have to suck it up and deal with it?

This is insane - unless it’s time-sensitive 10 mins is way too short

That is tough man doesn’t sound like the norm (though I am LMM/ MM, maybe if you’re at MF it’s different)… also seems like you kind of have to just deal with it and not much you can do about it

I expect 5 min response time for my my team. Suck it up.

Sounds like you’re angry at the world because you’re a tax guy 🤣

If he’s former GS it’s prob engrained in him

Unfortunately you need to suck it up in the meantime. Sorry

Did he say he expects 10 minute response times? Sounds like he has napoleon complex

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
