One of the guys I work with has a dad who just retired with a nice pension after living a blue collar life working a 40 hour schedule. Now his kid is working 60 hours per week for about the same money, less pension, and lives in a condo. His dad doesn't come to the yard to bust our balls about how badass he is and how lazy we are.
