I work for Supply Chain. We have been struggling a lot for the last few years with work-life balance. Many of my colleagues mentioned that they put in nearly 50 hours every single week. I personally put in around 45 hours every single week.

Understand and respect employees' calendars if you have an employee who works different times.
