My Boss Is Asking For Too Much!

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A

Selection from Casual Conversation with Ven. Pomnyun Sunim (November 14, 2020)

🔹Question: I’m a scientist, and scientists in the United States at least are expected to work long hours including weekends and holidays. Though this culture is very normal, but in this pandemic time, it’s very difficult to work these hours. Because we have to split up our time with our co-workers, because we cannot be too closed to each other. So the problem is that, it’s not just my boss but I have noticed this and other senior scientists as well, they want us to work like it's normal times. At least in our lab, we still have the same amount of meetings where we were expected to generate data and update our boss, but it’s not really possible to be as productive as before. My question is how do you handle people who expect too much from you during this time?
