Is My Weekend Now My Boss’s Overtime Playground? 😅

I never thought my personal Gmail would become my boss’s favorite after-hours playground. Lately, every Saturday, my phone lights up with his emails—sometimes two before I’ve even had lunch! During the week, he sticks to my work account, but come the weekend, it’s like my boundaries don’t exist. He insists on acknowledging every email, so I feel trapped—ignore him and risk his wrath, or reply and set a precedent I’ll never escape? Today, I tried forwarding his messages to my work email and replied from there, hoping he’d get the hint. But honestly, I’m exhausted and anxious, wondering if being salaried means I’m supposed to be on call 24/7. Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you set boundaries without burning bridges? I could really use some advice before my Sunday gets hijacked too! 😩📱 #WorkLifeBalance #EmailEtiquette #WorkplaceStress #JobCareer

Unlocking the Power of "Per Your Request" in Emails

Have you ever paused, mid-email, at the phrase "per your request" and wondered if you’re using it right? I’ve been there, too—caught between sounding professional and accidentally coming off as a robot 🤖. In the bustling offices of Chicago (yes, I moved the story here for a dash of urban flair), I learned that "per your request" is the golden ticket for confirming you’ve acted on someone’s instructions. It’s formal, crisp, and tells your recipient: "I heard you, and I delivered." But beware! Overusing it can make you sound like you’re writing from a Victorian law firm. Mix it up with alternatives like "as requested" or "in response to your request" to keep things fresh. And please, don’t drop it into a chat with your work buddy unless you want to be the office meme. 😂 Have you ever been tripped up by this phrase? Or do you have a go-to synonym that’s pure gold? Drop your wisdom (or your horror stories) in the comments—let’s help each other avoid email embarrassment! 💌 Let’s bridge those information gaps together. Any tips or tricks you swear by? #EmailEtiquette #ProfessionalWriting #OfficeLife #Education
