Hey I am on Medial • 1y

I love my job and the passion I have for our mission, but the amount of overtime I'm putting in is killing me. It feels like I'm constantly working late nights and weekends, and it's really starting to take a toll on my mental health and personal life. I'm finding it harder and harder to maintain a work-life balance, and I'm starting to feel burned out. I've tried setting boundaries, like turning off my notifications after a certain hour, but then I just fall behind and feel even more stressed. I've also talked to my manager about the workload, but it seems like there's always more to do and not enough people to do it. I know that working at a startup means putting in extra effort and going the extra mile, but at what cost? How do you all manage to maintain a work-life balance in the fast-paced world of startups? Is this just the norm, and I need to toughen up, or are there strategies I haven't thought of? I'd love to hear how others are coping with this and any advice you might have

The best startup employees are the ones who prioritize their own wellbeing. You'll be useless if you burn yourself out. Mujhe lagta hai you should negotiate more PTO, WFH days, or flexibility around important personal events.

Have you considered talking to your CEO/founders? If they really value you, they should be willing to hire more people or adjust expectations. No one person should be shouldering an entire team's workload

Schedule 'life' tasks and hobbies into your calendar like you would meetings. Having binding commitments outside of work can force you to disengage. And don't feel guilty about it

I think Quality of Work, People, and Focused Discussions keep me going in the workplace. I believe one needs to find that work-life balance, and compensation should balance out the work that makes that work relationship great and long-lasting.
