Pro tip: Took the salary bump over the flexible hours, 8 months later I am second guessing it
Back in March my boss offered me a choice. Either step up to run our bigger crew for an extra $7k a year, or keep my current gig with the freedom to leave at 2pm twice a week for my kid's games. I took the money because it felt like the grown up move. Now I am stuck in meetings every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon and I miss watching my son warm up, let alone pitch. The extra cash covers gas and takeout since I never have time to cook. Has anyone else taken one path and found the trade off was way bigger than the pay difference? What did you do after realizing it?

Count those Tuesday meetings as a subscription fee for the privilege of being the grown up. You traded two afternoons of baseball for a tank of gas and a few sad desk salads. I mean, congrats on the raise, but your son is probably wondering why dad suddenly loves conference calls more than curveballs.
