Stuart doesn’t mind because he doesn’t work! He just sits in his office and reads the latest BS from corporate over his computer. He doesn’t care about spending more time at the store since he has a comfortable office. Marla’s the one who actually works.
I forget if Stuart has a family in the comic, but I’ve known too many managers and CEOs who don’t actually seem to like hanging out with their families, so it’s easy for them to spend 60 hours a week at work. They’re not actually *working*, they’re just physically there (or on the golf course for “business meetings”, but then they turn around and demand everyone else put in as many hours in the office as they do.

The scary and pathetic thing about Stuart is that he’s basically allowing himself to slowly become a slave and he’s perfectly fine with it.
