Work Life Balance is a Myth
Ever since I started working, I have been hearing that there should be a balance between your work and personal life. Guess what sucker, that’s never gonna happen.
People have been fooling you, even the company you work for have been fooling you.
Lets say, you plan to have a work life balance, and on a daily basis end your work at 5 PM, how long do you think your manager is gonna tolerate that? Leave that aside, even if your manager tolerates, how are you gonna handle all the discussions that happened after 5 PM. How are going to handle the tasks or collaborate with your colleagues?
We have been forced into this vicious cycle where you have to work, tirelessly on daily basis for the rest of your life and you cant even complain.
Your kids will grow up, your spouse will empathize you, but mostly secretly hate you for that fact that you are not around much.You parents will wait for your call but you cant call them as you are still slogging.
You will wait for the weekend to try something new, but you will be too tired to try anything at all, mostly sleep through the weekend and then go ahead with the Monday morning blues and wait for the next weekend.
It might seem that I’m pessimistic, but trust me that’s how the life of over a million people is being spent.
