    This is how I feel when my boss tells me he’s worked so late some nights he didn’t see his family for the entire day. And if I worked harder, I could be like that.

    No thank you sir I don’t wanna be like you.

      I’ve been working in my industry for 20 years now (fuck that’s depressing to write). Literally every boss I’ve ever had but except for one has been baffled by me not wanting to climb the corporate ladder by working more hours and seeing my family less.

      The one that understood was like, “Just keep doing you, man. Don’t let anyone else tell you that you have to keep moving up.” I always appreciated that.
