Oh the reason I'm not reading it is because I can already tell from the comments here this is a cautionary tale, so I'm going to take the "hey blocking out time on the calendar keeps kid time protected" idea and assume the rest is "be an ass" and just leave that part.
I couldn't resist and just spent my limited attention on the article, and you're good. It's just some guy saying: "if you want to get promoted, put in the hours, but it will come at the cost of your kid feeling they need to book a meeting with you to get your attention".
Just spend time with your kids, and block time on the calendar if it helps you do that. Then you kid won't feel the need to do that themselves.
