it’s your job to advocate for reasonable expectations, not requirements based on your boss’s lack of boundaries. Of course, you would never say “You’re unreasonable because you have unhealthy boundaries.” Instead, you might say, “It’s important to me to recharge when I’m out of the office in order to be fully present when I’m at work. I’d like to restrict my work, as much as possible, to the following time frames.” When communicating your needs to your boss, be sure to use “I” language. Make it about you, not them.
