"people have no passion for their job, care only about the salary and picture quality time only "outside" of work"
The thing is that I do have a passion for my job, but I want to keep that passion, not let it burn me out and then resent it for the rest of my life. I pace myself rather than burn out.
Disclaimer: I'm in my thirties with 4 other people and a dog to feed and have a hefty mortgage to pay off as well, yet I work less time than people without that responsibilty
- johnward 13y agoAs you can see by the op's comment: Wanting time away from work is not acceptable in the land of capitalism. Everyone should want to spend their "quality" time at work. Fuck family, right?
- harrytuttle 13y agoIndeed. People don't "get" family until they have one. The people who don't "get" family are doing those who do "get" family a big disservice. The problem is that they most likely will have family one day so they're only burying themselves too with this attitude. And capitalism is as you say, waiting to milk them.

- johnward 13y agoThat is true, but generally in that position you are paid for overtime.
- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoAs someone who has worked a fair amount of overtime, that extra pay is more than deserved. Working overtime drives up the cost to the employee of most things related to maintaining employment. Laundry? no time, send it to the cleaners. Lunch? No time to brown bag it, have to eat out. Supper? Same thing sometimes. Got a lawn? Better find someone to mow it. A lot of mundane things come unraveled when sustained overtime becomes a requirement.
