Struggling in WLB
Hi, I am struggling to balance between work and personal life.I am losing people from my life because of too much time I have to give to work. I am not able to give time to my health or my parents.Tried multiple ways but not able to get out of this loop. Sometimes I skip meals too. I make to do list, I plan everything but nothing goes as per plan . A lot of adhoc urgent things come everyday, alot of people , a lot of pings sometimes I don't even get time to think just hoping from 1 meeting to another.I thought of changing my team but not even getting time to prepare.please help me to get out of this loop.
I heard microsoft has better WLB compared to other MAANGs. Shit must have hit the fan for you I guess. If this is just a phase then it's okay. Everyone goes through this once in a while. If you're the only person that's going through this in your team then maybe you're the problem. You have to learn to say no. This is the harsh reality. People often take advantage if you're a yes man.

Just stop working over time bro. Let them fire you, but at least your mental peace and personal time will be preserved.
Either communicate it to them, that you're going to resign if they don't ease your burden, or just look for jobs while taking it easy at work.
No one else can help you but yourself. You already know what you have to do.
Try to do only ur work, if not possible, switch company don't gel with ur colleague do ur work, maintain strict timings as 8 or 9 hr
