Boss asks night-shift worker who works 70hrs/week to miss their son's soccer game because they can't find coverage

That's what happened to the parent in this story, who found themselves at an interesting crossroads at work, when they were being pulled in a few different directions. They were already missing out on lots of family time due to the nature of their work, and they wanted to be there for a particular milestone.
