When Your Boss Thinks They Own Your Time
My POV I’m currently on a work trip, and honestly? It’s exhausting. Every meal, every outing, every spare moment is dictated by my boss. Yesterday, I tried to take a breather...skipped lunch to get some space...and guess what?
I got a text: “I expect you there. See you in a bit." I didn’t go. When I got back, the passive aggression hit hard...the sighs, the side-eyes, the not-so-subtle comments about being a “team player.” I didn’t fight it. I just shut down. I get that work trips have some expectations, but does it mean giving up all personal space? I’m sharing a hotel room, showing up for every meeting, and still managing my regular workload remotely. But I can’t even skip a meal without being guilt-tripped?
It’s frustrating. I’m tired of feeling like my personal time doesn’t matter. What would you do? Suck it up and go along with it, or push back and risk the backlash?
