Recently started a new job. I work in entertainment which is typically crazy hours, but this new job is a little insane.
Super small company, usually hybrid from home and then from my boss’s house. this week because we have so much going on my boss asks me to work from her home. I’m there from 9am-730pm every day with NO lunch break or any breaks at all. I told her I was gonna go drive to get lunch and she told me to be quick. I’m not sure if I’m just not used to being a real executive and maybe this is normal, but I can’t help be feel so burnt out after every day all I want to do is cry. 10+ hours non stop is just too much?
Thinking of going in tomorrow and telling her I have to leave every day by 630pm to make a new 1hr yoga class I’ve been wanting to try. And then I can be online to answer emails/finish up any loose ends. Do you think that is a reasonable ask? Or am I being dramatic and just have to suck it up? I’m honestly feeling so burnt out I’m willing to stick my ground a bit but also not too sure if I’m being dramatic and asking to leave by 630 will come off badly
