Time away from work is more valuable than time grinding away at work.

I think better and with more clarity about work when I don’t have 20 different people pestering me a day. And I actually have time to think about things.

Pretty classic human trait for those at the top to see themselves as human but less so, the further down the hierarchy you go.

I have this thought all the time. When you’re in meetings for 5+ hours a day, getting pinged nonstop across Teams channels, emails, messages, clients calling and texting, etc… you barely have a second to get up and make something to eat, let alone think clearly.

The days when I actually get space away from the constant noise are the days I’m sharper, more creative, and way more effective. Time to think isn’t a luxury. It’s the only way to do good work.

I work at a mid tier firm in an audit group of ~20 people. We’ve recently had two seniors and a manager leave, and I just found out another senior with a ton of big jobs is leaving in three weeks. I also just found out I’m being promoted to senior with a raise of 10%. In light of all these departures though, I kind of want to ask for more.... should I? And what % raise is appropriate? Any insight appreciated!
