Winstead or Jackson Walker people in Dallas (or if you know someone in these office) — how often do you work weekends and what time do you generally “log off” for the day? Also curious as to average annualized hours. Thank you so much!

My spouse works RE at Winstead. Works about 8:30-6:30 with some light work on weekends to get ahead or if a deal is trying to close. Billed 2300 last year but had good work life balance.

IMO, totally possible to bill well and maintain good work/life balance with discipline and priorities in place.

I don’t know the answers to your questions, but I do know a number of people at Winstead in Dallas and they all seem to have lives outside of the office.

A former classmate of mine is in the Real Estate group at Jackson Walker - Dallas and seems to not work much on the weekends. Last I heard (a few years ago), his billing requirement was ~1900 if I remember correctly. He also has said that they don’t foster overworking and tend not to incentivize working much over the billable requirement because they are trying to maintain a work culture that doesn’t work associates into the ground. That’s all secondhand info, but hopefully it helps

How do I keep my team engaged when I am also struggling to stay motivated?

Our department has had a lot of turnover within the last few months, all of which were from different reasons (school, family issues, opportunities close to home, etc.). It has been a challenge to divide the workload, while still trying to remain flexible and provide a work-life balance.

However, I’m starting to feel stressed and disengaged. Any suggestions to make it through the changes?

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
