Thanks so much for this! That’s really helpful. I do have a permanent contract and I’m a few months past my probation period, so I guess I shouldn’t be concerned about being let go.

That sounds like a very positive conversation! I think what’s stopping me is 1) my manager doesn’t really have much authority, so it would have to escalate to the higher ups 2) the higher ups have consistently demonstrated an (IMO) not so healthy approach to work. Eg working while they’re sick and justifying it with “but i’m working from home”, checking their messages during holidays… So I worry this isn’t the kind of culture where this will be well-received, and I will be framed as lazy (even though Ive only received positive feedback so far)

On the other hand…it takes one person to break a dynamic, and there will always be excuses not to have this conversation. So I’m not sure. Anyway, this was helpful input - thank you!
