I had lunch recently with a VP of human resources who worked for one of the largest tech employers here in Seattle (that is known for routinely working people 50 to 60+ hours a week) why they didn't provide more vacation and greater worklife balance. She replied that the young tech talent that they recruit doesn't demand it they only look at the top line salary and don't calculate the amount that they are earning per hour.

At a recent lunch with a VP of human resources for the largest tech employer here in Seattle I asked why their company was so parsimonious with providing paid vacation and work life balance.

This will never fly. If put before voters once they realize they'd lose their social security benefits and federal funding for roads, education, etc such a proposal would be struck down in a heartbeat.

Kitesurfing, race training, international travel

When the wind is up I go kitesurfing, otherwise I standup paddleboard to relax. I find both activities to be very meditative in thier own ways.
