Better to be a regular employee and a great dad/mom than a "superhero" and a shitty parent.

- rev_bird 11y agoThe issue in a lot of cases seems to be that there is no "regular employee": workers are expected to put in the extra time ("effort"), or they're instantly sub-par.
- draven 11y agoAnd if it is expected of everyone, then they are not "superheroes" (exceptional individuals) anymore, only regular employees, and the regular ones (those who have a life outside work) are pushed down to the mediocre employee category. I also hate when HR people or bosses equate the time spent being at work with effort (and let's not talk about efficiency or work output quality.) Being a great parent while working 40 or even 50 hours a week is still a remarquable achievement.
