Sounds like my husband- before he became unemployed… now he’s depressed and a shell of what use to be and was. Job hunting has been so awful- nothing yet.
We’ve been hopeful and praying but it’s been very difficult.

I just did this for two weeks (15 hours includes the commute time) and can say that I feel 200% less healthy for it. Bounced back after a few days but it was hell on my body, my energy, and my family.

The quote about “what would I do if this was my company?” is so obnoxious and tone deaf. It isn’t my company. I’m not as invested in it as the people who run and own it. That’s normal and psychologically healthy. I’m now going to give owner level effort to a company I don’t own.

He's still married after 28 years, has a weekly date night with his wife, and has breakfast independently with his two adult children every week. I'd say he's doing better on the homefront than most men.

Then we should all aspire to be more like him.

I observed employees at the old MCI Communications working 100 hour weeks. They all did. Flip side of the coin is a lot of those employees walked away with a cool financial reward for all their hard work.

I also observed employees in another company work very hard to help the owners get their start-up publishing house off the ground. Employees were mostly women. They even took work home on weekends and enlisted their family to get the work done (for free of course). Mostly nice people who were happy to help the owner. How did the owner repay them? Owner fired all of them a decade later, out on their ear with a couple of week's severance pay. Then they were replaced with younger and cheaper employees. True story.

MCI got bought by WorldCom. Alot of MCI employees got laid off during the merger. My father was one of them. They did get decent bonuses under MCI but I'm hard press to believe they were working 100 hours a week.

My parent worked there and was a manager. They worked 8-5 and were home for dinner every night, no telework at night or weekends. Same with all of their engineering jobs afterwards. I don’t ever remember them missing dinner at 5:30.

His wife comforts herself with money and a pool boy. She’s thrilled he’s never home.
