[quote=Anonymous]I am a person who does not enjoy working, but I am very good at what I do, take pride in doing a good job, and have always had great success earning the respect of my colleagues. At the same time, I put boundaries around me work and home life, partly out of need ( a single mom of a young child) and partly out of my need to live a life that works for me. For the past year I have been working for a boss who is an all-out workaholic. I am having trouble figuring out how to respond or cope. He lives to work, and seems genuinely shocked when, for example, I respond to only important emails while on vacation. This is not at all a matter of my not getting things done or meeting deadlines, though recently he has gotten out of hand in assuming I and others would work through Christmas Day and thanksgiving to accomplish things just because. Any advice on how to deal? Do I just need to get a new job? Thanks. [/quote]
