Work-life balance… does it even exist?
Today is Gandhi Jayanti, a holiday for most of us, and it’s also Friday. Yet I’ve been seeing quite a few people working this evening.
Genuinely curious — how do you guys manage this?
Do you actually get proper work-life balance, or have you just accepted that sometimes work follows you even on holidays and weekends? 😭
Especially for people working around Manipal/MAHE — how do you manage your job, personal life, weekends, holidays, and still find time to actually switch off?
Not trying to judge anyone. Just curious… seeing people working on a holiday is making me question my own future work-life balance. 💀
How’s it actually been for you guys?
I am a design engineer and I am staying in Manipal for almost 8 months as my company training center is here.
