Except the reality is, is that there are managers who will and have asked you to "please work another hour" or "can you just stay a little while?" of which I have been actually asked and I always have turned down. I want to go home, I've done your stupid 8-hour shift to please a bunch of dumbasses who don't give a shit about anything we do unless it's to complain, I'm leaving.
Way to be tone-deaf.
I hope your family dies while you're working so you won't get to say your 'goodbye' to them - just like many have had to when they're too strapped by work to even see much less, talk to family members. Just like people who can't spend the holidays with loved ones, because they're having to be at the store working for last-minute ungrateful shoppers. Or how much time a worker misses their children's firsts because they gotta put food on the table.
Nobody does this but you. Nobody. Does. This.
