I knew a guy who did this because he wanted to get home in time to play with his toddlers before they went to sleep. I don't know for sure whether he left his coworkers in a lurch or whether they were just pissed off to see him leaving while they were still working, but he was out on his ear after year 3.

The vast majority of partners could give a shit if you ever see your kids. I had a junior partner criticize me when I asked if it would be alright if I got him a draft of some ancillary deal document on Monday rather than Sunday as he'd requested because it was my kid's second birthday and I'd planned to take him to the zoo. He told me I should have gotten up early in the morning to draft it and gotten it to him before I left for the day. He also said getting him what he needs when he needs it is critical and that my kid is two and won't remember his birthday anyway. All this over a fairly straight forward, non controversial ancillary document for a deal that wasn't closing for two weeks.

To be fair, how inconsiderate of you. Your child won't remember and you can hang out with them when they grow up. Just buy the kid gifts and all the time you missed will be forgotten.

It is. When this dude said this to me I had a hard time containing my rage. It's one thing when you miss a MFH big brunch because you're in the office, but when they start needlessly keeping you from your children it gets extremely hard to take.

I'm well aware, but that is where you need to set boundaries.

Lol at disappointing your two year old on his birthday. I would literally tell that faggot to fire me before I did that.

I lateralled out within a few months. I knew I was going to have to work with him a bunch in the future and I seriously didn't know whether I'd be able to keep from losing my shit if he ever said/did something like that again.

EDIT: Believe me, I went to the f'ing zoo and the dude got his stupid document on Monday rather than Sunday as requested.

agree - and if you demonstrate you're willing to bust your ass when you don't have hard obligations like your babbydude's birthday, most people won't give you shit when you do say, sorry, I'm not available Sunday

depends on the office/practice I suppose, because most of my colleagues with families work 8-7 in the office (but they're working from home in the evening too)

there are some gov't workers that commute in from gainesville or haymarket, VA or some similar terrible place; they leave the house at 5:30am and are finished by 3 or so.
