my choice

The team went to the bundle’s coffee talk. It was nice to hear the site manager to be very optimistic with the future.

There were a couple of recognitions during the meeting. And as usual, there was the “sermon” from the bundle manager. Again, the subject of work-life balance was discussed, obviously because, employees are overworking.

One question has been playing in my head. If we really want the employees to have a work-life balance, why do most initiatives require employee-with-employee activities still? I think they’ve confused “life” with “non-work activities with co-employees”. My point is, if you want to have a work-life balance, the “life” there would mean FAMILY and FRIENDS outside your work!!!

But tonight, the bundle manager was able to give a good answer. He said that yes, the initiatives are all there but they are just OPTIONS. If you choose to go on a family dinner instead of joining a late meeting, it is your choice. The bad news for married employees is, it looks like it’s a choice between your family and your promotion. Sad, isn’t it?

Oh well, I think you know what choice I’ve made. I’m going to browse for Caribbean villa rentals now. Because for me, LIFE means family, friends and fun!
