I loved my job even though I didn't have a particularly good work-life balance before. Lately though my balance has been increasingly getting worse and I've finally decided to leave. Expectations from employees are becoming too unrealistic.

People do work at bony?
A classic battle between a true scholar (1rte) and a hedonistic nimrod (@1rte).
Truer words were never spoken. You are a scholar and well aware of the nature of mankind. We admire you.
We really all did come together over COVID, but apparently coming together is not desirable. Todd should never have worked so hard to save the Bank, preserve our jobs and guide us through the two years of COVID with no job loss whatsoever except for those terminated for cause. And even here,Todd graciously offered these toxic employees SUB. What a kind and gentle leader, a friend of all employees and a wise sage.
@1xyb collaborating implies a team working together to achieve a goal where as commiserating implies a certain weariness, sympathy or dejection based upon the work at hand.
The team paused to commiserate when Robin told them that they will eat bugs and that they will like it.
You need to sponsor only highly skilled, highly educated H1b visa.
Work is life and life is work. Sitting around doing nothing is not a life worth living.
Somehow I’m pretty sure that this Marxist isn’t among “the productive class”.
I think when COVID hit, work/life balance took a nose dive but never really recovered. I remember the early months of COVID, when most things were locked down and people had nothing to do but work. Meetings were before 7 AM and senior people personally texted me past 9 PM at night. It got a little better in subsequent months, but things never really got that much better. By mid 2022, more people started going back to the office so you would've thought people would stop stuff at 5, but that didn't happen either. Vacations didn't really exist because I found myself checking emails every so often. Glad I left this place though.
@1gkr The self centered counting of minutes…. this is a really bad sign. Find a job that you love and you’ll never work again.
The only thing than I’ve collaborated with any co worker on this week has been where to go to lunch.
Wait, is collaborate and commiserate the same thing? Cause that’s what I’m hearing from all these cubicles around me:commiserating
Hyperbole much? Seems that you simply hate work. America is a very easy country for you to game the system. Move to San Francisco or Colorado, be hedonistic and enjoy life.
All you lose is your self respect.
Back to work for the clock watchers. Sounding off here does nothing.
@1rte
A profusion of classist managerial propaganda to slander to productive class. We were working more during the pandemic, not less. We just learned we didn’t want to burn half of our “free” time each day commuting to a polluted, dirty city.
The fable you’re spinning is an attempt by those in power to exert their power, and to save their underwater investments in CRE, nothing other than self-serving greed and egomania at the expense of the middle class. I’d hope you don’t really believe what you’re writing, but it never ceases to amaze how those who were emancipated are eager to reassume their chains.
So what you mean to say is that you’re mad that you can’t sit home and watch movies all day anymore. You need to go back to the office where you were before covid but now it’s an issue because you can’t slack anymore.
During Covid and WFH my work life balance improved greatly. Sure, I was working 50 hours a week now that I was available at all hours, but saving 4 hours a day or commuting cut gave me a net 10 hours back a week. And the ability to be there for family and home responsibilities was valuable. Now though, not so much. Our regional president has declared 3=5 (no word on if freedom=slavery), so I’m on my way back to that 60 hour week for a clerk’s salary and no life balance. Got to love this place
