[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please stop using term parental leave. It is Maternity leave and in a woke period they gave it to men for no reason .

Which is ripe with fraud. Plus Big 4 has super huge amount of vacation I worked there I had six weeks vacation, plus 10 holidays. Then they added paternity leave which was crazy.

When I left Big 5 I has the max amount of vacation you could accrue. Six weeks was already too much time off to meet charability goals and client needs. Add in Paternity leave I would have lost all my clients in my name. And I had a sales goal. [/quote]

I’m sorry you care about your sales goals more than your child. [/quote]

We like to eat. My wife is a SAHM and I had a 20 month old and new born and a mortgage. I was promoted three times when kids were little [/quote]

Last time I checked, you can still eat on fully paid parental leave.[/quote]

Except I have a sales goal and my clients in my name I lose if out. I was fiercely protective my clients. When I had a one year old and a pregnant wife we had mass layoffd and my job was safe as I was the biggest seller in my area and had most chargeable hours. Cant sell or charge when home changing diapers [/quote]

Why do anything but work at all? You can’t make your employer more money if you’re helping your kid learn to ride a bike. Just cut ties and work minimum 16 hours per day.[/quote]

Why even come home? Thats time youre not giving your clients. Your wife can surely eat without you and that would be better for the bottom line? Maybe you can expense some meals too.[/quote]

I am actually home with with and kids that work schedule more than 99 percent of men. When I was in that work mode period of around 8 years I stopped I stopped every hobby I had, hanging out with friends, social media. Even hanging out with brothers and sisters. I also am blessed I dont sleep much. For instance I can get home from work 730pm, help get kids to bed, then eat dinner out of microwave, clean up kitchen, then hang out wife, then do bottle feedings and diaper changes like anytime of night. And get up and put my suit and tie on and leave for work at 650 am no problem. I can do fine on 3-5 hours sleep for years on end. I can be gone 12 hours a day and still have 8 hours a day family time. I just made life Work/Immediate Famiy.

right now I am starting to reconnect with my friends. Several I have not seen in person or talked to since 2000-2002. I kinda took 25 years off. And as I reconnected. I just contacted a good friend I last spoke to in 1999. I am suprised most have been downsized, laid off, early retirement, or dead end jobs. The few like me have good jobs still. Next month I celebrate 20 years at C level. 4 separate companies. I only realized it as I reconnected my good buddy I last hung out with in 2008 a lot. We do talk every few years. He follow me on LinkedIn. He said he was suprised when scrolling through his linkedIn connections as loking for a connection for a Board Reference I hung on so long at a level you get chopped a lot and got four companies to hire you. Also so many friends and connections divorced yet my marriage is fine.

I think all those hobbies like guys I see bike riding all over by themselves, season tickets to hockey etc they wives are home alone and it hurts marriange. It seems being at work is ok,

And I realize most people are lazy and dont have energy I have. I mean I once caught a flight from Tokyo arrived trying to get to daughters big dance receital, took cab right to place, got there five minutes earlier. Then took everyone out to lunch then had inlaws back to house for coffee and cake. It is a mind thing. Most people cant do it as too lazy. I also used to do Red eye flights out to LA, Vegas, Potland, then meet at a client or a conference as soon as I arrived and catch flight home right afterwards. Today I go to bed around 1am many nights and get up at 6 am. There is 168 hours in a week. Even if I worked commute my usual 12 hour day that is only 60 hours. That leaves me 108 hours and I only sleep around 35 hours a week. That leaves me 73 hours a week with family.                      [/quote]

Sounds like you have another 73 hours you should be working. Why don’t you work weekends? Clients work weekends and ask for you on weekends.[/quote]
