Does anyone here work for Silicon Valley Bank? They recently acquired Boston Private. I’m a candidate for a job at Boston Private. Wondering if SVB is planning layoffs in the near term at BP? Also, does anyone know the anticipated benefits to be rolled out from SVB as the parent company? Specifically interested in health insurance providers. Thanks in advance for any information!

I block my days to no end. Lunch every day. An hour each morning to plan and organize and finish anything from the day before. More now, because of my previous job, do I decline and say no to things. The world will not end if you become better organized, schedule better, and conserve your energy for applicable matters.
Plus, if your boss asks why, tell them it’s to maximize shareholder value.

Do you feel better about yourself after posting this?
I need to do this more. I sometimes block lunch or I’ll have no time to grab something to eat
Do it everyday! You deserve an uninterrupted meal time.
Starting my day ridiculously early to allow myself margin to reset without screens for at least an hour. Game changer (especially when you have kids..)
I block out mornings, lunch and end of day so they don’t schedule meetings at those times. I only have 2 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon for them to choose from. This is the only way I am able to also get work done during working hours.
