One of my bosses recently said there's no such thing as good news or bad news, it's simply news. We'll, that's a great way to look at it, if it doesn't affect the person sharing "the news".

I have also noticed a trend with feelings - I come from a generation that showed up, finished the work and went home. No feelings involved.

I understand that with overemployment, you will work with a lot of personalities, but how does one turn into a duck and let "news" roll off your back?

I’m a senior at a mid tier and been working about 70-75 hours for last 3 weeks on a SEC client. Now I roll off to a new job but the manager wants me to come back and help out the team more. Should I do it? I don’t want to fail at both jobs. Is that even reasonable to ask someone to work on both jobs?

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.
