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.


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

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.

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.

Then we should all aspire to be more like him.

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.

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.

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.
