Yeah, that’s the problem though, isn’t it, as you’re damned either way - either you miss out on time with your son, or you spend the remainder of your weekend anxious about whether you’re going to be tarred, feathered and fired on Monday.

I chose to forgo children as they would have been a distraction from work. Now it’s too late. Ah well.

It takes a certain amount of self-respect to raise the middle finger to unreasonably-timed work requests, and it says a lot about modern work culture that a lot of people have been cowed into thinking they have no options.

Yeah but the job market in IT is so good there is no need to worry. If you aren’t being treated like a star you can move on to where you are appreciated.
