What's your personal policy on working outside your set hours? I've been at the same company for 3 years and was never asked to work outside 9-5. It was great. There were layoffs last month and my asks are increasing. I said yes the first time because it hadn't happened in 3 years. But I don't want this to become a regular thing, and my workload this week is astronomical.

I don’t do it unless I absolutely need to by my own choice. If I do, I don’t send any emails or pings outside of business hours because I don’t want anyone to expect me to respond or do work outside of business hours.

I used to all the time, but that was a lesson learned the hard way. The reward for doing more work is… more work! Keep your boundaries, and if you are worried about the stability of the company after layoffs, start looking now.

If I was confident that they weren't doing it to take advantage of me, I would say yes once in a while. By that I mean, an extra hour or two one evening every few months. It is absolutely not something I would allow to become routine. A lot of companies are more than happy to take advantage of you, and the only thing standing in their way is your willingness to respect your own boundaries.

Honestly I don’t know that I’ve worked a proper 9-5 in years. It’s not like it’s always extra hours every day but it’s definitely pretty common to have to put in some extra time to get the work done. I def think you need to set some boundaries but I don’t know how realistic never going outside ‘working hours’ is going to be, especially if you want any promotions or increased responsibilities.

So- we run Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) for our clients display ads in a feed and corresponding google sheet via Google DoubleClick. My q is- does anyone know what systems out there allow for creating a template that will automatically pull a product image from say Target.com and automatically building the ad & copy without manually making 1000 ads via row for row in the google sheet? I know this is possible but curious if Sizmek or Flashtalking are more common in this type of creative development.
