Because people have to pay bills and there aren't other options readily available. And I think it's OK for workers to try to change company culture over time while employed.

What a weird binary. Obviously someone’s children are more important to them than their job. Are you suggesting that’s a problem?

> If family is more important then your paycheck, why dont you resign?

It is.

> Why should someone without a family invest more at work just because you consider work a secondary thing?

This is a weird take.

Do you get mad at your coworkers when they take time off?

how do you think you were born and raised into this world? did your parent(s) quit their jobs after you were born, stop earning any income, and raise you in a cardboard box on the steeet? do you expect only millionaires to have children? jesus…have some empathy. Life is more than work work work.
