I'd agree - though it is not only about what types of sacrifices are
reasonable, but the quantity. Sometimes I put in a 60 hour work week (by
necessity to get a quality job finished on time), but the moment it becomes
expected on a regular (such as weekly) basis, then there is a problem.
That's part of my philosophy about being flexible. Need me to take a one day
seminar on a Saturday once a year? No problem! I'll still discuss it with my
spouse, but we'll both agree that it is not an issue.
I'd much rather lose my job than my family. But that's me! :-)
