During one talk, they shared that they “Sometimes have to work during holidays.” He then backtracked and said, “It’s not often though!”

Without naming the employee, during a future interview, I asked about work balance and they also hinted that sometimes, work does bleed into weekends and holidays.

Pretty easy nope.

If a job can’t get the work done without overworking on holidays, it’s a clear sign that they’re understaffed or have shitty management who don’t push back against due dates.
