[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since you have been with company  10 years and are a high performer, can you approach them about scaling back/ can they hire someone who can do part of your job/you can delebate to? I feel like once your kids are older you might regret leaving entirely. Or take some time off and look for a part/time job? [/quote]
This would be step one for me (or maybe step two, after a vacation where I didn’t look at my work phone a single time). Don’t give up on this job if you like it without first speaking to your boss about whether there are ways to improve your work/life balance.  My boss is extremely protective of her staff and tries to head off weekend or evening work for us. When that’s not possible due to real emergencies, she makes it clear to all that we’ve gone above and beyond so no one thinks we will be available 24/7 in the future.  She just negotiated an additional hire for our group since our hours had all been creeping up. Your job may be more willing to make adjustments to keep a good worker happy than you think. [/quote]
