Do people with kids work *harder*?

@quantumboy7 What’s a “raise”?

@quantumboy7 Where I live a 2% raise is actually a pay cut due to inflation being much higher.

 

[quantumboy7]

@123ab Absolutely, same here! I'm right outside of NYC and a 2% raise gets eaten up by my buying a pack of fresh fruit I'd love to ask my CEO what his fuckin' raise was this year.

@quantumboy7 Yep, I used to jump at opportunities for extra work, now I do the bare minimum. No complaints from anyone, and get the same raise.

 

[quantumboy7]

@for_crying_out_loud Exactly, same here. I save my energy for my family

@davidjohnn51 The only thing that it does is cause strain between you and your kids. Kids notice why mommy is always working and ask about it. It’s just not worth it to me. As long as I’m able to get my work done within my work hours, which I am able to do. I see no benefit in overworking just to “prove a point”. I also commute 45 minutes each way. So 2 hours of my day is spent driving when I’d rather be with family.
