Here’s how Reddit reacted to the share:

“The best part of this is that all she has to do to not be affected is just ignore her work email when she’s not at work like a normal human being,” posted a Reddit user. Another added, “I kinda hope OP breaks her spirit and she learns to take a step back and enjoy life before it’s gone.”

A third commented, “It's a good lesson to learn early: work isn't everything and life has many other purposes. Some of which she's clearly missing out on if her kids don't have her attention after work and her husband is sleeping in the guest room.... It would be a good time to turn her life around.” A fourth wrote, “The incredible part is that she wants to be CEO by 45 and apparently thinks this is how you get there. Whomever fooled her into believing that is an even bigger Satan than the OP.”
