I’d make sure my family could quit their jobs first and then consider quitting my own. Blue collar work takes a very hard toll on people. Then, yes, I’d quit and likely consult, teach some classes, but I’d not spend 50-70 hrs a wk at a desk anymore.

I’d probably keep it for a while. At least a few more years. I took a two year break and I found it really difficult to find purpose. It was just a lot of drinking and finding other places to focus my energy that were less constructive.

I actually don't know. I want to say I'd quit, but truth told I think I'd keep doing what I'm doing. With more WLB boundaries though.

I once called someone in the 'C' suite out for being completely disorganized. I followed it up by offering project management advice. The conversation got pretty heated. I still have my job and we seem to have moved past it but I wonder if that interaction will have a negative consequence down the road. I don't regret it and would do it again, just maybe a little more tactfully but I was looking out for my operation and one of the managers that reports to me.
