I’ve been taking the “evening shift” on client calls (client is pst, I’m est) for the last 2 weeks and I was supposed to have the night off but my coworker bailed because “they don’t want to sit on meetings all night.”

They are more senior than me and I understand it’s my role as the associate to take the L’s for stuff like this but damn I wanted the night off.

I do trivia every Thursday night, it’s one of my regenerative activities, and I can’t go because I have to fill in for the fill in

Sorry this happened to you. Not really sure about your circumstances so please don’t take this as judgement cause it isn’t. Just some advice from my experiences. Just say no. If they say I don’t want to sit on meetings you say I would be happy to cover, but I have a personal commitment I can’t reschedule. Sorry. End of story.

It’s not necessarily your role. You can spin this around and say that managers are responsible for both the success of the project and well-being of the team >> Therefore they should take the call.

Doesn’t matter. Give upward feedback if you can, suggest a fix so it doesn’t creep up on you again :)

I don’t think is inappropriate to say that the success of this project and the clients needs are dependent on everyone and everyone should pitch in. If you’re the main go to person that is fine but having 1-2 nights a week when you aren’t on those calls all night every week night should be a reasonable request

This past year was/is the worst in my life by far. Aside from all the Covid mess we’ve all dealt with I lost a parent, an in-law, my spouse has decided they no longer want to be married and my grandmother is in hospice with days left. I believe this was/is my least productive year in my career as a result. I’m worried my job won’t be here in a few months and I’m doing my best to hold it together. Sorry to be a downer but I just needed to throw my worries out there in hopes they never come back.
