Is the term 'Work-Life' balance a cruel joke?
Manage episode 403196706 series 3190287
Companies always emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy personal and professional life balance. It is so because otherwise their employees will burnout and won't be able to perform to the best of their ability anymore. By saying so, they absolve themselves of the responsibility to take care and not to overburden their employees with work. Instead, they give motivational lectures and helpful workshops on how their employees can still work round the clock and then spend time with their family. When France banned people from working after 6 PM, the Indian social media erupted with calls for the same in India. But what followed? The simple instruction: Get back in line, because you are just 'another brick in the wall'.
In this episode, we discuss the so called work life balance that is proposed for employees and how they, after being in the system long enough, begin to enjoy the non-existence of it but always stress how much they need it.
