"My entire career has been in very large organisations and for many years in senior leadership/ executive roles. For me work has always been means to an end. I'm always a little suspicious of those who say they really love it and love for it. Suggests to me that they aren't particularly rounded as a person and have few other interests or friends or criminally haven't given enough of themselves to their families as they should have. " Thats a real big leap | |||

"It's a job. I turn up, do my responsibilities the best I can, get paid and go home. Everyone in pretty much any job, no matter your rank or seniority, is replaceable. If I left tomorrow my job would be posted by the end of the day." Exactly. There's a reason it's called Human Resources. You're no more valuable to them than the office furniture and just as replaceable. | |||

Thats a real big leap " In my experience though it's been correct the majority of times. Also having spoken to others who prioritised career when they have retired, without fail they have all expressed regret at not spending more time with family and pursuing other interests when younger The other post above about you just being a human resource, regardless of seniority, is also correct. No matter how much you love your job, if you leave the big machine keeps on turning and you'll be forgotten within weeks | |||

"I work part time in the adventure travel industry. There have been times when I’ve felt a little bit emotional about how great my job is. But there are some days when a client is such a fuckwit that I remember I’m in work. Plus there’s the usual stuff with customers. But definitely days where I feel like I’m being paid to go on your holiday. Gbat " I get a very very small number of ****wits as customrrs they help me realise and appreciate the good even more | |||

You can enjoy your job/work while having an active social family life. | |||

They missed medical appointments, were late to pick their children up from school, got angry if some poor older relative was ill and couldn't perform free child care duties in school holidays, were first in and last out and couldn't understand why people like me left at 5. It was their decision to do that of course but not something I'd do. Mr N once worked worked somewhere where they told him he had his priorities wrong because he left a meeting to get home in time for one of kids 18th. He told them in no uncertain terms that he had his priorities in the correct order and it was they who didn't. | |||
