What do you do if your boss's demands are taking a toll on your well-being?

Take a break and do your SWOT analysis and align with your boss's priorities. Understand the long term vision of your company n self and set short term achievable goals to begin with

When your boss's demands are affecting your well-being, it's important to address the issue directly. First, assess which specific demands are causing stress and why. Prepare to discuss these with your boss by noting these down. Think about some solutions as well. Request a private meeting to talk about your concerns. During the discussion, clearly explain how the demands are impacting you and suggest practical solutions. If that fails, it’s time to update your resume and look for other opportunities that might be less stressful.

If your boss's demands are affecting your well-being, consider these options: Communicate: Have an open and honest conversation with your boss about your concerns and negotiate more manageable expectations. Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between work and personal life to prioritize self-care and prevent burnout. Seek Support: Reach out to HR or a trusted colleague for guidance and support in navigating the situation. Explore Options: Assess whether transferring to a different team or seeking new opportunities aligning with your values may be beneficial for your overall well-being. Consider Professional Help: If necessary, seek counseling or coaching to cope with stress and develop coping strategies.

Self awareness is key here. By learning about our triggers, motivators, needs and current state, we are able to understand why do we feel what feel.

Remember that boundaries can be set in various places and no every boundary you set needs to be a conversation with your boss. Things like turning your email or other notifications off at specific times / days, blocking time on your calendar for things like a lunch break, a 10min walk, or for administrative time can be great ways to help create more balance. Additionally, look for ways you can set boundaries in other areas of your life to support your overall wellness and to create more balance in work and life.

Setting boundaries is easier said than done. It is usually easier for people who naturally are extraverted and outspoken, to speak up and be more assertive. If you believe you are more of an introvert and it's hard for you to speak up, here are few areas you need to develop 1- Communication skills 2- Being assertive 3- Negotiation skills 4- Emotional intelligence

Primeiramente, quero lembrar que meu bem-estar e saúde s?o prioridades e n?o devem ser comprometidos em prol do trabalho algum. E depois todos nós seres humanos precisamos de limites, em tudo que fazemos na vida e no ambiente de trabalho n?o pode ser diferente, se posicione, cuide-se.

I would discourage you from talking to HR, as they work for the company and are not focused on what's best for you. Better to take your concerns outside the walls of your organization, preferably with a professional career coach who can help you frame a plan of action and support you as you execute on that plan.

Every relationship involves at least two people and you can only go so far. It the other person doesn't seem to try to match your effort and meet you half way, then the best thing to do is to choose yourself. Seek and evaluate other options. If you would like to stay in the same company, try looking at different roles and what you need to do to transition in terms of knowledge and skills. If you would like to leave your boss and the organization altogether, start looking for other opportunities outside the company or even the industry. In this case, when the change is more drastic, it's better to seek support from a professional career counselor.
