in fact I think that’s where a lot of my anxiety and stress comes from these days. the need to slack and yet not be seen as a slacker.

eg I wanna leave early because my day was 80% meetings and now I no longer care to work because really, seriously, gently caress that, but if I think of leaving then I get images in my head of everyone else on my floor staring daggers at me

Just don't go and don't give a reason. Most people don't care. And the ones that do tend to avoid confrontation, so most of the time you can get away with anything.

In your new free time, spend 5 minutes researching ways to make your manager like you more.

And spend the rest on your hobbies.

one of the 5 PMs I work with dared to book me for a pre-9am meeting without checking with me first not too long ago

I added a daily 7am-9am NO MEETINGS OOO meeting to my calendar, like I already have from 5-7pm blocked for family time, and am already getting heat for it from a bunch of people in the org

gently caress them I'm not missing pancake breakfast or walking the kids to school because some optional invite can't attend a daily status

i got into a fight with our PM about this last year, with him insisting 8:30 AM was within my “working hours” when i asked for him to check with me first before throwing me in with a customer at that time lol

i have my working hours clearly specified in outlook

we’re cool now but gently caress you buddy
