What do you do when your workplace doesn’t respect your boundaries?
It can be tough to draw boundaries in your work life, but it’s an essential skill. If you don’t do it early and often, you might end up in a situation where you’re being taken advantage of. They get used to a certain level of access, and then you wish you had spoken up earlier. But sometimes even when you try to set your parameters, your boss still won’t listen. That’s what was happening in this story, where a worker started a new job while in school and let her employers know about her conflicts, but they still had a hard time respecting them. This just increased frustration for everyone involved and took a working environment from comfortable to uncomfortable. The employee in question was left wondering what options they had, and if anyone else had gone through something similar.
