- The pursuit of "work-life balance", which sounds so wholesome and reasonable, can be a zero-sum game in the office.
- In theory, flextime seems like an everyone-wins proposition. But one person’s work-life balance can be another’s work-life overload.
- Who, if anyone, has the work-life balance higher ground: The mother with three children, the son taking care of elderly parents, or the 20-something who is learning Mandarin once a week? And should the reasons even matter and be brought to the table in the first place?
- Even well-designed policies cannot always accommodate the reality that many industries are deadline-driven or not particularly conducive to balance.
