I was a kid, I didn’t work. My father was a CNC machinist for decades without having a college degree. He generally only worked 40hrs a week, he got bonuses, GE (his employer throughout my childhood) would hold family parties for their workersc that company was gear backing the day….my pops only worked OT on occasion when he wanted a little extra spending cash for Christmas or whatever, but he was home fairly early on most work days, and he never missed my football games on the weekends.
