We should not be tied up by our work although the society thinks that it is what defines us. In that situation, the best solution is to find another job where you do not have to do 'firefighting' all the time, life is too short to be sacrificed for that.
It's kind of frustating when you care for others, but they do not appreciate your effort. Well, big corporations care about profit, not about the employees. Try to find smaller companies or do your own business.

- Damogran6 7y agoI worked with a person like that, in a Security Incident Response role where we were interesting enough that the attacks always started when 'The Americans are celebrating another of their silly holidays'. It meant working through Thanksgiving, Xmas, New Years, and Easter. It was good that I did it...so that I can recognize the parameters and never do it again. But the person I worked with is still there, still defined by that job, still running scared, and damn...that's just all kinds of messed up.
