"The only pressure you get is the one you accept". Just learn to say no. I think that's the most important thing women and shy people need to learn. No.
"You should work late to show your commitment". "No".
"We over-promised so it is crunch time". "No".
"Here is a company phone so we can contact you easily in case of emergency". "No".
And sleeping enough every day is one of the most important things you can do. And finding a job in a good company even if you earn a little less.
Really good advice. I think the perception is that if we say no we’ll be screamed at and fired. In reality your manager is more likely to become more flustered than you.
