There is more to life than work, or at least, that is what most people would like to think. Loving your job is all well and good, but leaving room for the other important parts of life is also vital even if the most avowed workaholics wouldn't like to admit it. Many would even argue that finding time for the right hobbies or spending time with loved ones is beneficial to your work ethic during the hours that you are clocked in.

Still, the topic of how we should treat what we do for a living can be a controversial topic. As more people develop cynicism towards the downsides of work, the idea of work-life balance has become more and more important to a majority. There is no escaping that we are in the age of quiet quitting, where many checked-out employees are finding the best ways to do the bare minimum.

  • Still, there are numerous annoying individuals out there ready to chastise most of the workforce with their ultimate devotion to the grindset, LinkedIn cringe-style. The latest offenders to receive the ire of certain social media users are a pair of British business owners, insistent that they don't need a work-life balance because they have ‘work-life integration’, i.e. they work all the time.

    Eryk @peregrine_coast Always wonder what the home life of people like this is. Is it a veneer they can just slip in and out of or do they actually live like this? Are they bought in or are they just working the algorithm? Is there any authenticity in the words they say to each before they sleep?

    Niall H. @Prime3k When you're worth millions and can employ people to do the actual hard work, then you believe this guff. Especially when you rolled back your commitment to the real living wage... No wonder your employees don't want to eat, breathe and sh work 24/7.
