[quote]This does not add up.

If he were in the top 10%, he would need a job such as a law partner or doctor, which would make him part of the working wealthy. And to stay within the 10%, he would not be washing dishes (or doing so on a very infrequent basis.) He would be working more than 60 hours a week. I know because I do it.

Now he could contribute income, and you can contribute your uterus (for whatever it is worth), and you are happy with that; however, he would not be busting his guts at work to come home to bust suds for you.

Try again. And this time, try the truth.

[quote]You’re obviously not very well valued by your employer if it would take you 60 hours per week to be in the top 10% by income. We both took jobs in which we had the negotiating power to work fewer than 60 hours per week, even though that does mean we forwent additional income as others point out.[/quote]

Your response told me all I needed to know about you and your "top 10%" status. I am the type of person at your firm you would be negotiating [u]with[/u] to be able to work less than 60 a week.

You are not an owner or part of the leadership circle where you work. We (the people in this circle) work long hours because we run something we own and love. It takes time to build a business, the time you must spend with clients, etc. instead of washing dishes.

Let me put it in a way you might understand it. I am one of the employers assigning the values (in terms of compensation), not one of the employees to whom a value is assigned (i.e., you.) [/quote]
