Work/Life Balance Is A Myth
...

Cancel
When I ask busy executives to describe a satisfying life, they often envision a scenario in which they work hard but dictate their own assignments.
...

Cancel
What they really need is control. But, frequently, what they think they want is balance-
...

That myth compels many of us to view an ideal life as a set of perfectly level scales.
...

Cancel
In reality, that perfect balance almost never occurs, except for those rare, fleeting moments when the trays pass each other on the way up or down--and we’re too frazzled to appreciate that brief moment of self-actualization anyway.
...

Cancel
There’s always a lot of chatter in the media about the latest trends in work-life balance.

Cancel
I’ve noticed a couple trends of my own

Cancel
when it comes to work-life balance, we often adopt a victim mind-set.

Second, we want to believe there’s a quick fix that we’re somehow overlooking

Cancel
Doing what that guy in the photo was doing is impossible for more than a few minutes at a time.
...

Cancel
don’t say if no if you don’t have any leverage
...

Cancel
In practice, however, what I’ve seen is that people often invest that free time in doing more work.
...

Cancel
Their identity is rooted in work, and that’s where they want to be. Outside of work, in the complex dance of family and community responsibilities, they lose their autonomy. Their professional expertise doesn’t mean much.
...

Cancel
We need better ways to manage work-life boundaries, understanding that we are subject to phases, often dictated by events out of our control, in which our work lives and personal lives ebb and flow in their demands.

Generation Y: The New Kind of Workforce
- Gary Patton on 28 Jan 12
  
  If you're just entering the work force or applying for a new job, don't make the terrible mistake of 64% of college students who ask about their prospective empoyer's social media usage policies in the middle of their job interviews. Approximately 24% also foolishly say it would be a key factor in accepting the offer. If you want to use social media when you're supposed to be working, unless you're being hired to make business posts for you're empoyer, set up your own company because the business world is NOT going to accomodate your preferences on their dime!

  This is an incredible comment on the lack of wisdom and the sense of entitlement that too many parents of GenY's have inculcated in them, in my opinion. In 2012's and future difficult job markets where few will have the kinds of fulltime jobs prior generations had, this is unbelievably unwise.

A Generation Y and Facebook study done by Millennial Branding and Identified shows that Gen-Yers are using their personal networks and profiles as an extension of their professional personality. Even though they are using Facebook to mostly socialize with family and friends, they are inadvertently blending the two.
- Gary Patton on 28 Jan 12
  
  And when you're asked to prove the value-added you are bringing to your organization by this currently ozymoronic blend, you'll be OK ONLY have you have solid, verifiable proof that you're adding value. Otherwise, you'll probably be fired! The market's full of others who will do it the way most CEOs still want it done ...without attitude or compalining. You can change your organization's culture when you are rewarded, for your value-adding in the way your boss wants it done, by being promoted to senior management. In the meantime: "Do it their way!" ...not Frank Sinatra's recommended "my way"!

  What's the big deal here! It's only members of GenAncient and too many empoyeees in bureaucracies and unions who stayed with one or two organizations thoughout their working life.

  And if GenYs are S-M-A-R-T, they'll resist any allures to get into big business. Set up your own company and retain a measure of freedom.

These studies show that if companies want to retain young talent, they need to display trust in their young workforce and allow Gen-Yers to operate entrepreneurially within the corporation by giving them control over their time and activities.

  While I agree this is accurate for many young people who control their attitude and sense of entitlement, most senior managements don't buy this and they currently run the business world.
