@kalarockwell45 Oh yeah that doesn’t work… they just schedule over and say “can you move your meeting and make this work, it’s the only time everyone else can join.” my boss just works on her scheduled and expects you to figure it out. She’s frequently triple booked… she’s very meeting happy.

@katrina2017 Totally agree!!!!!! I don’t get people like that at all, for example last year when the lotto was high we were at a work conference making jokes about what we’d do if we won, and i off handedly said “I’d be on a boat in bora bora within a week” and multiple people said “I couldn’t...

@ckell19 I love that idea of Friday mornings… works for everything except the occasional pedicure lol!

@faithfulwheels26 Thanks!!!! I appreciate that!

@khatru Thanks!! I’ve only been here since September and it took about 3 weeks to figure out it was toxic. (For example my boss who has worked here a year has only taken 2.5 days of pto…. 1.5 of which was immediately before Christmas which doesn’t really count) I’m just waiting it out until the...

@lastreetpreacher Yes!!!!!

@rhunette Yeah that’s what I’m doing! I’m just annoyed by it… I firmly believe Friday afternoon and Monday 9am meetings are for lunatics!

@katrina2017 Hahahahaa right

@marthasimons Yeeesss!!!! That’s what I’m annoyed with! Why do people glorify overworking?!?

@jack100m Yeah that’s my plan! I’ve only been here 10 months and I have a getaway schedule for first week of august. Planning to start the job hunt in the fall

@juliuscaesar Correct! I don’t have any direct reports (I manage a product line if that makes sense). These meetings are all with my equals, my boss and her peers and sometimes her boss. I’m one of the lowest. Plus I do block my calendar off… but since I’m one of the lowest people on the...

@torak_skye The corporate policy is suggested… they follow up the phrase with “as long as you have coverage on your team.” And I’m manager level, so I’m expected to figure it out when directors and vps want to meet…. It’s so annoying 🙄

@tornado16 Right!!!! Yeah that’s my plan is to just go back to 9-5 kinda quietly. I mostly wanted to complain like “what’s wrong with you” to my colleagues. You have a cool perk! Go take advantage!

Just grumpy about this and have no one to vent to… anyone else annoyed by this in their jobs ? So just a little edit to add: I DO block off my calendar, but my boss and her boss just schedule over it and I’m expected to make it work. I have boundaries, not going to work more than 40… just...
