Should We All Just Stop Working So Hard?
You’re reading Life-Work Balance, a series aiming to redirect our total devotion to work into prioritising our personal lives.
The work wisdom of going above and beyond in your 20s to set yourself up for success and comfort further down the line is currently very much up for debate.
In one camp is a band that advocates working your butt off in the early stages of your career so that you can relax later in life.
Others argue that this will only leave you burnt out and too exhausted to live your life to the fullest – after all, can you ever really recover from burnout?
Lol this is the worst advice ever. Do the bare minimum to avoid being fired, take care of yourself, and if you want to advance, schmooze and butter up the right people. It's what actually works. You're never gonna get ahead by working hard, (cont'd) https://t.co/3IUAhLPeFq
