Original caption

Early in my corporate career, I thought 10 PM emails and skipped lunches proved my worth. Years later, here’s the truth: you are far more valuable well-rested than burnt out. Big project pushes happen, but 60-hour weeks should never be your norm. And let’s be real: work-life balance should be the goal at every level, but if you’re in middle management? You are definitely not getting paid enough to give up your life for a job that won't remember your overtime. If you’re constantly drowning, stop calling it a hustle. Set firm boundaries, audit your time, and if the culture won't shift, maybe start planning your career pivot. Your job should fit into your life, not consume it.#workingmom #corporatemillennial
