When networking starts to affect your personal life, it’s time to tell your boss

 

My boss often calls me for casual meetings after hours. I initially agreed, wanting to learn more about the business and network. Lately, I have been feeling as though I have too little time for my family, but I get the sense that I will be compromising my career if I say “no”. How do I turn her down delicately, while maintaining our good working relationship?
