No right to disconnect on job is driving me insane

My workday starts at 8am goes on till 1am… Although I can take breaks between 12-4 on most days, I feel drained and very low on energy. Exercising feels like an impossible task, daily chores are piling up. It usually takes me till 2am to finally be able to fall asleep but ideas are welcome on how I can make this lifestyle work for me. It’s been almost 2 years like this and I see no change in near future.

As with all organisations, work load is team specific. Since you’ve taken the time to read my post, would recommend spending some time in sharing useful advice that was actually asked for.

It’s easy to say switch jobs, but in this market finding an equivalent high paying job could be difficult

If i were you, do some life tasks during work

Like you can have walking meetings

Do some push ups by keeping camera off in bs meetings

Other that, employ someone who can take care of you by doing some tasks

Maybe it’s time to open Task Manager not to end tasks but to end this role. Two years of burnout with no disconnect isn’t sustainable.
