In the moment, be respectful and listen to them but ignore the substance. It’s your life! You have to advocate for yourself. No offense, but we are all replaceable at work. They’ll be fine.
Echo this. They wouldn’t hesitate to lay you off if it was in their best interest. Reverse is also true - do you!
By reminding myself that life is a marathon and not a sprint and the only person running the marathon is me not my coworkers.
Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries.
Hear them out, but remember: you can't please everyone. At the end of your journey, do you want to look back and think "I'm glad I made those partners happy" or do you want to think "I'm content."
Be content.
You may not be able to avoid their guilt trips, but you can definitely ignore them.
There’s really no way to avoid it because some people are going to try to guilt you no matter what you do. Best thing to do is to focus on not taking responsibility for their feelings. They can be disappointed/annoyed/upset etc., but it doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong or are making the wrong choice.
For some people $$$ cures stress. Ask for or demand a raise?
Yeah, I've tried that approach, but it's been made clear to me it's not an option.
