hours with your child aren't fungible. you can't pay the babysitter to go see the dance recital for you if you want to be the parent instead of the babysitter being the parent. all the money in the world isn't going to make up for missing the soccer game where your kid makes the winning goal.

Generally though higher paid employees tend to have more sway within a company structure and likely don't need to miss these important events, the win here is that something that was generally true for mid management up for most companies now extends down through all the ranks.
