I recently joined a product-based company after previously working in a service-based one. In my earlier role, working hours were typically from 10 AM to 6 or 7 PM. However, in this new company, the workday starts around 9 AM and often extends until 9 PM. Occasionally, there are even calls scheduled at 10 PM. It seems like people are accustomed to this schedule, and my manager expects me to be available during these extended hours as well. Work-related messages also come in over the weekends—this seems to be part of the company culture.
I’m feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. I'm wondering if this is standard in product companies and something I’ll eventually get used to, or if it’s a sign that I should consider leaving.Please share your thoughts.
