The post grabbed the attention of many. Netizens shared stories of their friends who lived a similar live. “Many such cases. A friend works at a large food conglomerate, makes $280k and works 25 hours a week. Never misses a kid’s soccer game and plays video games. His stress comes quarterly to renegotiate one or two huge deals. The rest of the year is chill Sounds decent honestly,” said one netizen.
