      He’s right, though. “Work/life balance” is a debilitating phrase, because it reminds workers that they can’t have a life.

    I am deeply interested in the thoughts of billionaires who benefit from the incomparably greater amount of work other people perform to provide them with obscene amounts of wealth so they can find a comfortable balance between exploiting workers and flying in dick rockets for fun.

      Not to mention not giving their workers the time off to fly in a dick rocket for fun, never mind giving them the pay to afford it.

    I understand why: A balance implies a equal amount, while a harmony carries no such depth.

    Wealth hoarders who don’t even give their workers enough time to piss in a bottle hate work-life balance. They can learn about some head-body balance when the guillotines get brought out.

    I hate it too. It should be life/work balance. Life comes first. Work to live, not live to work

    Work life balance, and circle of work is basically the same thing if you actually really read what they’re saying. Jeff Bezos is just a workaholic and a jerk.

    Why does everyone hate this article just because it doesn’t have any kind of footnote “AND OF COURSE THEY ARE WRONG AND OUT OF TOUCH” explicitly

    Also why is Arianna Huffington on this list with her infinitely more reasonable take on it with no comment
