The days are long but the decades are short
A lot of these posts seem to just accept that 'not everyone is as lucky as us'.<p>I agree, but not because of the same reasons.<p>I went through a period in my life when I just realised that playing silly games wasn't worth it any more. I gave up on the idea of being an 'adult', whatever that means.<p>As a human being I have judgement and I know what me arriving late / not arriving to work means. I don't need to be told.<p>If I am ill, I don't come. If you have a system of 'sickness days', you can employ someone else. Because I am an honest person and I do not want my basic human tendencies to be policed. Biology doesn't care about your employment contract.<p>I enter and leave work when I want to. 99.9% of the time this is normal office hours, but if something important comes up, life comes first.<p>I think this is perfectly reasonable.<p>It means I will be paid less. It means I probably won't be CEO of an investment bank. I don't care.<p>I am a human being, not a cog in a machine. I'll give up my roof, my food, my clothing before I subject myself again.
