Ok workaholics. Maybe you’ll love this teasing from my boss. I’m leaving at 5 (ya know, the end of the day) and she says to others in our conference room as I pack up my things, “She’s only working a half day today!”
Also my company constantly pushes health and wellness, but when I told my manager I was taking a break she said “oh we get those?”

Yes, we do get those. And leaving at 5 is called having healthy boundaries with work.

That would really get under my skin. There's almost no response I could have at that point that wouldn't get me fired, so just smile and tell them see you tomorrow.

Wow, funny to be reading this. A few projects back, there was a Director who called that out to a PM as he was leaving around 5. It really disturbed the PM to the point where he couldn’t sleep that night and started to keep daily logs of his time on an excel spreadsheet 😕. I think about that every now and then when something starts to get to me that shouldn’t. Your boss said it flippantly, but most likely never thought about it again. Keep holding your ground and taking care of yourself!

You’re welcome! And yeah, I was a young PE at the time (25) and was constantly worried about things that I shouldn’t have been. To see this PM, who was so much older, react like that kind of shook me. It dashed my assumption that my bad habit would just go away with time. Had to really work at crafting a new mindset after that.

She sounds miserable, glad you don’t feel pressured to follow the toxic culture she’s creating.

What industry are you in? Does anyone else leave at that time generally? Not saying what she said is ok, because it’s super annoying and “I believe where I’m from you can get your ass kicked for saying something like that,” but also good to see what the norms are in your group/company.

If it’s not a good fit check others out. The health/wellness propaganda….is just that. A good recruiting tool.
