I have been lucky to work with companies that haven’t worked me too hard.
Then again, I’ve always been pretty decided about not working too much, and I had learned the art of notifying management when I was getting overwhelmed.
But I wonder, is this work-life thing a question of balance or boundaries?
Balance is an amorphous term. But boundaries, such not checking email at home or sticking to 40 hours a week, are tangible goals that can be protected.
