We are like a family. Apparently I am the printer

The fictional studio loves its people so much that it would like them to stay until midnight, preferably without making the atmosphere weird by mentioning it.

A friendly team can be a wonderful place to work. Friendship does not answer questions about workload, compensation or who is expected to be available after hours.

Ask about those arrangements plainly. How is extra work handled? What happens when the team cannot fit another project into the week? A useful answer describes a process rather than a personality trait such as passion.

If you manage people, make it possible to raise a capacity problem before it becomes a crisis. Do not reward the person who silently absorbs everything by giving them everything again.

People can care deeply about the work and still have a life outside it. These are compatible conditions, despite what an inspirational wall decal may suggest.

The printer has also requested boundaries. Its preferred communication method is a paper jam.
