  Back at a time when I naively worked 80+ hours every week, I had a doctor lecture me about slowing down saying, “if you want to have a heart attack at 50, keep doing what you’re doing.”

  Naturally, I ignored that advice. What made me stop was the realization that my employer did not care about all the nights and weekends that I gave up for them. It was totally meaningless to them. Just as meaningless as OP’s nights and weekends are to their boss.

    Sounds like Kellogg’s.

    Guys sleep at the plant. They have showers and beds. They’ll spend a week there, rake in an ass load of overtime, and go home for a few hours a week. Rinse, repeat. To what end I have no idea, not like you can do that forever

    Your employer will not be there at Thanksgiving.

    If you dedicate your life to work, neither will your family.
