Yep, this exactly. I've worked for such folks and they do everything to stay away from home. Long, late day meetings scheduled. Constant happy hours after work. Burning the midnight oil when no one else is and nothing pressing is happening. Annoyed when you have to be out of office to care for family.
It's happening more often. I'm away from home during Easter because the employer put off making an important decision until the absolute last minute. Not he's trying to arrange a half hour meeting on Friday, in Wake Forrest, because I'll be able to "Pop over" from Columbia, SC. Doesn't occur to him that people may not want to meet with me on Good Friday.
Easter dinner is huge family event, but I'll be stuck in Tampa.
