Having "Work-Life Balance" Is A Buzzword For Women

"Decoding the Myth: How 'Work-Life Balance' Often Becomes a Struggle for Women"

Can someone please explain to me what “work/life balance” is? Ever since I started working in corporate this is a term that is constantly being thrown around. Some people think Gen Z coined it, while others believe it is a “false” narrative to present to women during the interview process, only for them to be hired and worked harder than a mule on a Sunday morning. No matter what you think about the terminology, just know it holds a deep sense of stress for everyone. As the years go by, finding a job that does not take up every ounce of your day has become harder and harder. I genuinely cannot understand why the 40 hour work week still exists ESPECIALLY after life post covid. Jobs MUST understand that people would much rather spend more time with family and friends than spending countless hours on work that could be completed in almost HALF the time.

And I bet you’re wondering…what does this have to do with you? You work remote, and you essentially work for yourself? Well, there are STILL issues that come with this life and it is often times FAR from experiencing work life balance.
