Really interesting reading the different experiences people have had, thanks for sharing Seaver and tisonlyi. Seaver how would your experiences have been different if you had a family to support while you were putting in your 12 hour days? (I think I know enough to assume you didn't then).

I didn't. Instead of devoting my time with my family, I had the option to devote the time to myself. In essence I could go home and play videogames, or work an extra 1/2 day. That is something other people couldn't do. However, they got to go home to a bunch of people who loved them unconditionally... I had my X-Box.
This worked much the same as college. I put in a lot of time and effort for a period of time and was rewarded. I wouldn't have put in that time if I was not chasing the promotion, which is why I'm against seniority based unions. It kills all drive and desire to do more for the company.
When I finally have a family I'll be a couple promotions in and be much higher on the hog so I won't have to work those 12hour days anymore.
