[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are becoming little sissy Nancy Boys. When I started work it was common pre automation, Internet, email in my office that Saturday was catch up day. I used to work 15-20 Saturdays a year. I used to work 830 am to 630 pm Monday to Thursday and then 830 am to 5 pm on Friday of working Saturday.

And I had a cushy job, my firm people like me off the clock got laid extra for Saturdays. I had friends in jobs who worked like 8am to 7pm every day and no Sat which ment 20 percent less pay.

This is not the flex that you think it is.[/quote]

I suppose it's what people prioritize.  DH and I are quite happy with the 20 percent less pay in exchange for a better work/life balance.  We can still afford the things we want and need, but we aren't the type who want to stay at the Ritz or similar.  [/quote]

That is only an option if dual income. My job searches always lead me to in person jobs with travel, jobs with OT, high stress jobs, job with maybe sales goals, jobs that report to Boards etc. I get paid double or even more those jobs and since not dual income I need double and the more ther better,

In Covid got laid off and got a fully remote job, I could sleep in, wear PJs all day, work anywhere get my work for day done in 2-3 hours. But it paid 1/2. I was told could move to a lower cost if living area or wife go back to work full time. So my company tells me to live in a shack or send wife back to work so I can keep my super easy remote job. I told my wife and she laughed.    [/quote]
