People are constantly like "oh we're in busy season"... but no one admits that it actually lasts all year. We’re told things will slow down after the next project but there’s always another “critical initiative” waiting. Then I feel like I'll be seen as a slacker if I take time off. How do you handle this anti-WLB atmosphere?

I've never seen a busy season that lasts all year except in chronically mismanaged companies where the staff are not working efficiently

I don’t wait for anyone to give me permission to look after my well-being. I don’t compare myself to what others do or what’s considered acceptable. I know what’s right for me. I know my rights, my break times, and my boundaries and I stick to them. If I’m asked to go beyond that, I’ll raise it respectfully. I’ve learned that honouring my limits isn’t rebellion, it’s self-respect.
