One of the main reasons I left restaurants in 2015 was because of my kids. I saw too many managers not be able to spend time with their kids or miss moments. And I do not know who said this to me, but someone once said “The only people that will remember you worked late and came in on your days off are your kids.” I did not want to be remembered like that.
I love this post so much, and I agree with every single thing you said here. Thank you.
