I’ve never regretted establishing boundaries with my boss. #careeradvice

[chrisxavier]

They will not respect a doormat, but on the same note they can deem you as being difficult for saying no

[goldendogs]

I did that, and got targeted thereafter. I ended up leaving for another job.

I used to belong to a union and one thing they taught me in one of their meetings is SCREEN YOUR CALLS and don't answer them if it's on the day(s) you agreed with them to have off, either your regular days off or PTO they approved of. So just hang up when your boss calls you, especially if they start their sentence off with "I know it's your day off but..."

Twelve hrs is enough for one day, people have to eat and sleep.

[Oraanu]

No one should be routinely working more than 12 hrs a day. You're basically asking for more mistakes and accidents.

[stanleymcvay]

What you have to do is establish a relationship with money. Do what you want. People just want to use you.

[kneel]

Yeah bosses who work 12hr days often want (and hire) people who have to suffer thru it with them. Regardless if its actually needed or worthwhile. Usually its all make-work nonsense. Different from actually all working hard together on a project

[kellyebageon]

Exactly, so important. This is even for young people just starting in the work force.

[jackcarraway]

Learning to establish boundaries is important for life in general, not just workml

[eazypromo]

I want to thank you for all these videos that you created. Honestly, it was one of the reasons why I was able to land a way better role after being laid off. I managed to land a role that has a 10.50 increase pay raise.

[agnogh]

Something I still need to learn how to do (actually get courage to do it)

[loubydal]

Bosses like these demanding unreasonable shifts or "as needed" more often than not are all about making merits at the expense of employees exploitation, to get a promotion just for themselves, or climb the ladder no matter what. That's a red flag you don't want to get into a dead alley without career progress, no expectations. That overworking should be for a limited time, occasionally and of course paid overtime, but shouldn't be in a coercive way and should be the employees choice.

The GREATEST insult anyone could levy at my best attempt at writing would be “reads like something Zach Snyder would write”

I’d have to burn the whole computer down and change my name

[JF-ufjg]

I love your eye shadow.
FYI I noticed right away.
I mean eyeliner. Just be yourself or if you are going for that then ok, just trying to help.

[denedennie]

If your boss and most importantly your colleagues often stay late at work or answer emails and phones during weekends, evenings and pto- leave that team. Burnout is a serious condition.

[cyanhb]

Once you said "her" .. my first thought is unemployment.
