Our schedule changes so often it’s impossible to plan anything outside of work. I’m trying to go with the flow, but it’s affecting my life. Is there a way I can ask for more stability without coming off as inflexible?

You’re literally a scheduler.

And you sound fun to work for - a leader should never respond like this. Sounds like this department needs more than one scheduler - take turns on the late shift and weekends. Even if it’s a manager who steps in during the busy time.

… no.

Oof, sounds awful and familiar. Every team/company needs that one (or more) person who knows how to hold boundaries, and/or create comfortable ones by asserting them to the client in a smooth way.

I’m an early startup having raised a bit of money from family and friends to help grow my business. Time is moving fast and I’m potties I won’t hit my targets and being the return back to those who invested.
Once I have used the money that’s been invested there’s no way of seeing it again and still bringing the return quick enough.

The numbers still show it’s possible, I still believe in the concept and I’m still growing, I think I just have some imposter syndrome.

Any advice?
