FWD: Lack of self-awareness in a writer...what to do

[Lauren]

I forgot about the 45+ work week requirement.  I would not take a position
that regularly requires more than 40 hours a week.  There is no such as a
well-managed project (all of my jobs are projects) that generally requires
more than 40 hours a week.  Some weeks, a project will require more hours
than other weeks, but the extra hours are compensated appropriately.

It sounds like the group could benefit from well-organized, solid project
management.  That is something to consider to manage future issues.
