I’ve found there to be a high standard deviation amongst cases too. I had instances where a partner would be like this is something I did and then cases which were beyond cookie cutter. That adds to a level of fatigue apart from the high volume of cases

My company cut staff to 4 days/wk to save funds. I was getting requests from coworkers for docs needed urgently on our day off (fridays). I would oblige them. But then, I learned that those same coworkers had been put back to 5 days because they were deemed “essential“. I felt foolish and decided to stop working on fridays. One EVP (not the GC) in particular has been aggressively texting/calling me on fridays. How Do I tactfully respond? My out-of-office email is not enough of a hint...
