This isn’t normal and the people telling you to suck it up should reconsider their work life balance
Feast or famine. Be careful what you wish for. When it rains it pours. The grass is always greener. Etc.
Soon youll be back wishing for work again. Suck it up now and sock your money away, thats my advice.
Find a place that isn’t a sweatshop
Manage your time or your time will manage you. The answer for me was a planning calendar. Schedule an hour for yourself. Protect it. And schedule the other hours you need to work. Stick to it. So long as you include time for yourself, your days and summer won’t feel like it’s all work.
Try set some boundaries for yourself. Take care of business, but know when enough enough. It mine mean working from home but at least you won’t hit the wall immediately.
Are you freelance? Then take he money for the next dry spell. If you are salaried, set some limits. Go home at a reasonable hour! Just go. If things are not done just say you have too much on your plate. Work hard, work smart and work no more than 10 hours a day. If hey attempt to fire you, it takes a really, really long time to do it. And saying it’s because you won’t work 15!hours a day and weekends is sort they will want to say.
Is there any way you can take any leave (for example, I’m thinking that if your sick time/ PTO kicks in on Aug 1, you can claim 1 of those days & take a long weekend in August)? Can you truly shut off one weekend & do a mini-getaway? I feel the same way about summer, and these are the kinds of things I like to do 😊 PS Congratulations on the job! 🎉
Thank you!! So basically I do have 2 weeks off at the beginning of aug and I’m going away. But because I’ve missed almost all nights and most weekends since June there’s a lot I need to get together in my life - just normal human people things. I’m thinking of calculating my overtime as asking for time in lieu but I don’t know when I could even take it. But for example yesterday I worked 10+ hours over time and today I’ll be doing the same
Call out sick a few days and catch up on life!
Those damn first world problems!
