My client is a bully and treats me badly. He forces me to work till late by giving unrealistic timelines. Sometimes I end up working 18 hrs a day. From past 6 months, I haven't taken a proper vacation and now when I decided to take a 3 day leave during Thanksgiving, he questioned that. I'll take the leave anyway but all this impacts my mental health. I can't quit due to visa issues. Any tips to handle a bully?

I'm a senior project manager working in marketing/PR in Toronto, making $90K. I want to jump fields because marketing isn't really my thing. I'm interested to know what options are out there and if it's worth changing things up!

Let me tell you, I love the flexibility at my firm, OK pay, and I do a great job, and am comfortable pushing back when I have too much work . BUT managers are terrible at planning and recently end up putting me in preventable situations where I need to work 55 hrs or have the staff work the 55 hours. I literally cannot since I have a family and my daughter is only in day care a few hours a day, I'm already doing my max work. Is it crazy that I may want to leave Bc I hate making ppl miserable?

How do you deal with the following - 1) lack of general organization in life, note taking, keeping track of your relationships and 2) attention to detail. These 2 things have been bothering me a lot. We all are smart as hell but silly mistakes such as spelling mistakes, broader checks to be done on the deck is killing me. Also I feel the lack of organization in personal life blows into professional as well. If you are a consultant how do u deal with it ?

We’ve gotten through the worst of the quarantine while supporting each other as best we could (very thankful for him). But his coping skills with stress (during covid) are lacking and as things progressed he’s just been taking it out on me more and more in the moment, then he feels awful for not treating me as well as I deserve (he treated me well before..)
