This is why work/life balance is so important. I wouldn’t ever call myself “well-off” but I don’t have kids and my job allows me ample time off to play games and watch movies and shit.
Neither do they! They aren’t workaholics, they’re home bodies that work the least they can!
It’s just that the workplaces are shit. One went back to mandated RTO for no reason even though much of the work is overseas at odd hours. The company’s literally trying to make employees miserable so they quit without severence. The other is work-from-home, but with enough pointless meetings and complete workplace dysfunction to eat energy.
All I can say is: unionize. My position is union (and has been for a very long time so its ingrained into the culture there), and it’s difficult to even comprehend the number of ways it has improved working conditions. Literally invaluable. I couldn’t work there more than 35 hours a week if I wanted to.

And these seem like well above average jobs.
