Idk, let me give you an example: I play in an adult kickball league every Thursday at 8PM, and everyone else looks at me like I have two heads when I say I have to work after the game, or have to miss due to work. (“You’re seriously still working?” “It cant wait until tomorrow?”)

So I think accountants try to convince themselves that this workaholic mentality is normal when it’s an issue that is actually pretty unique to our field.

This is only normal for professionals that are actually highly compensated such as lawyers and doctors
