From Fast Company/10.04 (“Balance Is Bunk,” by Keith Hammonds):
The global economy is antibalance. For as much as Accenture and Google say they value an environment that allows workers balance, they’re increasingly competing against companies that don’t. You’re competing against workers with a lot more to gain than you, who will work harder for less money to get the job done. This is the dark side of the “happy workaholic.” Someday, all of us will have to become workaholics, happy or not, just to get by.
Time for a coffee break?
