Immediately after graduating from college, I always felt bad seeing parents who were sacrificing time with their kids to put in extra hours even if the hours weren't necessary. Late night calls to "catch up" when we easily could have waited until the morning. I just turned 25 and I've worked a few jobs where pretending to work was the norm. It was a drag on me and I was single and in my early twenties. I couldn't imagine doing that while having kids at home as well. At the same time, this ended up being one of my biggest motivators when it comes to my career. I don't want to end up in that position, ever. If I start a company, I don't want to be that manager. It sucked but it was also a great learning experience so that I know what to avoid in life.
