Why on earth were you working evenings and weekends to make up for others' demands on your time? That is totally wild to me.

  Presumably their role is not to sit in meetings all week and there are actual expectations of delivery. If you just shrug your shoulders and tell your manager nothing got done again because too many people booked meetings with you - don't expect to last long there. Your time management is on you. Working overtime is one way of dealing with this, a bandaid, but a common one. What op is trying is a way better approach and I think deserves props. Others' demands on your time only get worse the more senior you are.

    > Presumably their role is not to sit in meetings all week It is if they’re being entirely booked with meetings. If I were OP, I’d absolutely bring this up to my manager, but I wouldn’t simply just acquiesce and work nights/weekends just to keep up. Time management is only on me if I’m given a chance to complete my tasks in the allotted time —- if I’m not given the time, that’s the company’s fault, not mine.

    If their role is not to sit in meetings all week then maybe they should decline the invitations.
