Negotiate or change jobs to negotiate. I am retired now but when I was working: I managed to negotiate with my boss to gain two days off each week. I proposed to work longer days with slightly reduced pay. 30 hours over 3 days instead of 36 hours over 5 days. longer days but at least I have 4 days each week to do what I please: Thats an extra 100 days each year to do as I please. More time for family, fishing, martial arts, gardening and professional development. I was happier. The ultimate work life balance. You are not a slave dont act like one. We really all need to be in a union.
