I set my out-of-office messages, turn off my work laptop and cell phone, and stash them away in a drawer.

Will they yell at me or ignore me when they see me again?” When I got back to the office, my manager pushed one of my meetings with him a few hours later. Then, it seemed like he took longer than usual to answer one of my emails. The thought crossed my mind: “Have I fallen out of favor because I was out when we had a big project?” <a href="https://medium.com/womenintechnology/the-root-of-perfectionism-a1d496b7a65d">Website</a>
