I’ve been getting “urgent” emails at 6/7 pm demanding massive amounts of work to be delivered 8am the following morning. Every now & then I am HAPPY to hop on these. But it has been 5 times now (cont)

Who is giving you this massive amounts of work? My first thought is that this is a manager who has some poor planning.

It is coming from the CD, I’m an AD, and the account team is telling the client (AFTER 5) that the creative can deliver the next morning. I’m running on empty and no one seems to care

My fiancé that I live with is a helathcare provider and needs my help with day to day things he simply can’t do right now because he is SLAMMED. I am up all night finishing work (that seriously is NOT urgent, or honestly necessary) constantly. I am seriously thinking about quitting my job if this continues. I’m so stressed and not sleeping or eating. It’s like no one at work cares about my mental health...

Thank you guys so much. I will do that. I am a Art Director and all of this is coming from our creative director... at NIGHT. The Account team keeps telling the client AT 4PM that the creative team can deliver tomorrow at 8. It’s infuriating...

I’d ask if they’re planning to bring in a freelancer if this is expected to continue because it’s not sustainable.

Hello fishes,

I have received a job offer and gave them my expected salary to which the hr told it was above their budget. (Did a proper research and quoted them the range)

They gave me an offer with a difference of 1 to 1.5 lakh from what I had asked.

Any tips whether should I go with the offer they gave or still negotiate?

If negotiate kindly provide some tips.

TIA
