Antiwork

Can you at least pretend you have a life outside of work?

After boasting about record profits at the billion dollar (yes with a B) company I work for and only getting a 4% raise this year, I've started looking for a new job just to see what's out there. I've had 5 interviews with local companies. I always ask the question “Work/life balance is important to me, what do you like to do outside of work? Some of the responses I've received: I have 3 kids. Oh you know, family stuff. I'm usually working. I work so much I usually nap on the weekends. Uhhh are you serious? Please stop giving your life for these companies that don't care about you. /rant
