I don't get why people are suspicious of this letter. Yes, there are people who are that brainwashed about the importance of being "a team player". There are women who have been taught from day one that they have to twice as good and productive as male employees to be taken seriously. There are non-profit charities who have been caught being just as bad to their employees as any Wal-Mart manager. This is entirely believable.

Pat is setting a damn good example: work to live, don't live to work, and as long as there are bills to pay, don't work for free.
