> There are a lot of jobs that are 24/7/365 without proper coverage from coworkers so people are always available and can’t turn off. This comment is oddly specific. It reads like you are writing from personal experience. Besides emergency medicine, what else qualifies?
It describes almost every role in the field of medicine.

> In the case of walking the floor in a store it is just aesthetics mostly. To be clear, when you wrote "aesthetics" do you mean (a) presenteeism (seeing the boss) or (b) cleanliness/tidiness of a retail store?

Credit to Walmart for creating an environment where a person can still love their job after years of service. That stuff can't be faked, even with a high salary. Before you say, "it's easy to say when you're getting paid $240K a year." Nah. A person needs challenge; a purpose. Lots of FANG ICs making $500K+ who hate their job. Why? No challenge or palpable purpose. To create a scaled corp structure where a person can…
If there companies paying 500K who’d like a software engineer to just professionally do the job, not complain, not have an agenda, not worry about promotions - drop me a reply. You pay, I work. That’s the all there’s to it.
Unfortunately I know why there would be no answer for me :D

Would you take it if it means a marriage breakup and illness?
I think if a marriage breaks up after 2 years of one partner working 80+ hours a week to make enough money to have reasonable financial stability for the rest of their lives, the marriage probably had other issues. Illness, well, that's a tougher call.

How'd she go from that to messing up Yahoo?
Another way to put it is how she became CEO of Yahoo at age 37.
> To end the meeting, Michael Cole, 66, a maintenance worker, leads the group in the Walmart Cheer, a chant workers throughout the company do to start and end meetings. This can’t be real.
It most certainly is. I worked at Wal-Mart in Canada for seven years when I was younger and during the summer, when I worked more hours, I would see the department managers and the upper level store managers do it every morning during the week. Wal-mart really pushes the idea of winning. Everything is about being the best at generating profit and beating the local competition into submission. The location I worked at…
> Near the cereal aisle, a customer walks up to Hart while recording on his cellphone. >“Hi! Can we get some Snoop Cereal here on the shelf?” asks the man. Earlier that month the rapper Snoop Dogg sued Walmart, claiming the retailer, along with Post Consumer Brands, had worked to suppress sales of Snoop Cereal. Some fans were recording videos related to the dispute for social media. It's like you think you know Ameri…

Of course 2 years of stress can lead to otherwise-good marriages breaking up. Didn't you know happy couples who divorced during COVID lockdowns? It was common.

Are you sure there's no artificial government intervention?
There's much less government intervention in hiring programmers, than there is, in hiring teachers (you need a state certificate) or CPAs (same). Even if you want to be a hairdresser you need a state certificate.
Might it be the stuff that programmers work with, the inputs and outputs of the craft, that are covered by laws that create an unnatural economic disequilibrium?
