[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you should set boundaries. You are not. As long as you are working during ordinary working hours, and working an ordinary, at leas, 40 hour week  -- YOU establish when you are available and when you are not. Let 'em fire you if they don't like it. You may as well try rather than quit. Do the job the way you feel is reasonable.

I wouldn't announce this at work. Just do it. Just start being *not* available when you are being taken advantage of.[/quote]

DP. You don’t get it. Intense high paying jobs create boundaries for you. You do what you can but at a certain level you can’t just not be on, especially if that is the culture.

All of the talk on here about bigger jobs more flexibility misses the point that at a certain level and especially in certain industries it’s all consuming. If OP stays and misses meetings and doesn’t turn work around it will impact her comp and her standing. She’s better off changing roles than ruining her reputation.

OP- find a therapist to help you sort out what you are looking for and once you’re clear on that move  toward that goal. [/quote]
