[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, [b]I would try to find a flexible job first before deciding to leave the work force.[/b]

I started at a high stress job. I switched to a 9-5 job and have also worked part time and consulting jobs. I currently stay home and don’t have a job. I manage our investments. I will take another part time position if it works with our schedule.

Absolutely do not attend that meeting next week.

I remember working thanksgiving weekend on a deal I was working on. I worked thanksgiving day, Friday after thanksgiving and that weekend. I used to work on billion dollar transactions and had this giant bonus every year. It was not worth it.[/quote]

+1 OP's boss sounds like a nightmare. She needs a job with better work/life balance and respect for employees. FWIW, I took off 7 years but was able to regularly freelance during that time to keep up my connections/resume. Had no trouble getting back into a FT job when my kids started ES. ES seems like the time when it's easiest to work FT as long as you have some flexibility. [/quote]
