In my view Mr. Welch is exactly correct. Life is not the rose colored fairy tale many of the liberal mass espouse as both possible and ideal. Life is choices and choices will always have consequence, especially in a capitalist society that measures results above all else.

And measuring results is right. It is right for the employees who depend on the company to thrive as well as the middle-class family that has chosen to include a particular stock in their 401K or mutual fund.

Be advised, this is not a sexist comment. I have friends that have left the career path to the woman and the father is the primary emotional provider for the kids, and they seem to very much enjoy their decision.

As an entreprenuer and married father of 3 I would also love "work-life balance". It just doesn't exist for those of us who want for our careers and families the best life has to offer. Thank God to my wife for allowing me the time to take care of US.
