Same. More than ever. From when I wake up to when I go to sleep though not at 100% capacity that whole time. There’s no “I guess I should go home, the cleaners are here” to draw a line like in the office and to be fair, the same work takes longer now. Also, 8 hour work days? Our usual pre corona days were 9.5h!

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

One of the worst double standards in corporate america.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?
