E11: Protect yourself and don't apologize - set clear work boundaries
Manage episode 282347182 series 2821914
Working from home is more common than ever, so the lines between work and home life can easily become blurred. It’s up to you to unapologetically protect yourself and set clear expectations with strong work boundaries. After 12 years in corporate America, including several years in leadership positions, I have developed no-conflict tactics to set boundaries that maintain my sanity while still enabling me to be a good employee.
This is part of a series called “Lessons from a corporate life.” The other episodes in the series are episode 2 and 4.
In this episode:
Work doesn’t care about you
Why guilt prevents you from setting boundaries
Do not apologize
Avoid establishing bad precedents
Set digital boundaries
Take sick and vacation days
Set up a physical office space
Be objective, clear, and consistent
