Absolutely, we have resources available for a reason… I work in a performance based role, so to keep my lifestyle I need to perform and I need my team to perform… but I tell my team if they are feeling underwater to take a break for a week or two and come back refreshed… I’d rather have a team that is running on all cylinders versus a team running on eco mode because they don’t know if they can get to the gas station to refuel…

Absolutely. Problem is, the only person that I feel truly hears me is my spouse. Work doesn’t care. Manager doesn’t care. It’s hard to care about your job when your job doesn’t care about you.
