My boss where I used to work said she really felt for her H when he got laid off and she realised she was the only one bringing home the bucks. She suddenly understood where he'd been coming from when she'd been at home with the kids and he was the sole breadwinner. You know the huge weight of responsibility, the need to go the extra mile all the time and make sure you don't lose the job/contract the feeling you've got people depending on you. So I know what you mean about trying to see it from their perspective. Just wish they'd spend a little more time trying to see it from ours
