High-flying CEO quits after daughter writes list of 22 milestones he missed

59. It's easy enough to look at the $$$ and write the guy off.

However, if we are to really solve these problems, part of the resolution is understanding what this man has in common with the single mother trying to raise children on low wages...no time for family.

I had a high paying job like that, though not near the $$$.

The truth is rich or poor, corporate America sucks everything it can out of you. If you're at a lower wage job, the time suck required to survive is driven by corporate greed to keep costs down. Even high wage folks lose to corporate greed, however. The time suck most in management, particularly mid-level management experiences is a never ending set of corporate time demands designed to make more money for the company. Both classes lose but for different reasons.

I found that the more money and responsibility I had, the less happy I was. And it was impossible to control. Mr El-Erian is not "the other", he is a part of us.

The culture of worshipping money and profit sucks the life out of us all. Until we can come together on that, the status quo will prevail.
