This used to be the case at my current job, by a margin of 20%.  Something
snapped inside $PHB, and now I make less (both in proportion to CEO
and my previous pay) and get told that, after clocking out of a
93-hour-week I "really should start giving more of [myself] to [my] work".

This is the same $PHB that works 25-30 hours weeks and is getting a paid
vacation to Hawaii in a week. *spit*

I also got told that putting family first after the death of my aunt and
paternal grandmother was "an unacceptable error in priority".  In front of
my entire staff.

Needless to say, I've dusted off my CV, and am open to offers.  I'm just
not in a financial position to leave immediately without somewhere to go.

I won't put up with that sort of crap, but I've got bills to pay, as well.

Now -I'm- pissed-off.  I hope Rudy's serves Shiner.
