It is quite true that the relations are getting strained with today's working style,I know a lot guys who seldom see their homes before the on set of midnight.Many of the corporates still have the old fashion working styles.,including the reputed top private banks and business houses where the personal life takes a back seat and the official work the front.The situation of marketing guys is even worse -where people are on the field thru out the day and end up sitting late in the even..into midnight at office..doing all the routine stuff to satisfy the beurocratic styled bosses,Who always think only they have a family and not their sub-ordinates.The flexible working hours is fast catching up in soft ware and a few other arenas but it would take years to get the same culture into other zones.
