Moving up the chain in any workplace comes with a certain amount of sacrifice, as you get more responsibility, your ability to simply log off and not worry about the fate and trajectory of your work slowly decreases. Sure, you might get less productive work done every day due to all the oversight and meetings, but the responsibility rests a heavy weight on your shoulders all the same.

Boss accuses employee of not working their hours, employee turns the tables and provides proof to HR that the boss is the one not working their hours: 'Do we need to get HR involved or are you going to calm down?'

This, of course, tak…
