Employee insists on bringing his girlfriend on a work trip, only for coworkers to shut him down and refuse to let her come: ‘She’s not part of the team, and this isn’t a vacation’

We all understand how hard it is to maintain a normal work-life balance, and how many sacrifices we have to make while attempting to do so. More often than not, we find ourselves giving up on important milestones at home for the sake of our jobs, or vice versa, missing opportunities at our jobs for the sake of those who are waiting for us back at home. There is no perfect recipe for a balanced life, we just have to improvise as we go and hope for the best on both fronts.

Realistically, what ends up happening, are stories like the one down below, in which people completely lose it. Instead of making informed decisions that separate their work life from their private life, they try and mix the two together, which unsurprisingly leads to a disaster.
