I plan to never again treat my job like it is my life. I'm a teacher and there are tons of us that work 50-75 hour weeks on a regular basis even though we are only paid 37.5 hours a week. My first year or two I took so much stuff home. This year, many of us at my building are intentionally refusing to work unpaid from home to demonstrate how overwhelmed we are with falling behind on things. My job is not my life.
