Snow and Balance

Interesting article in the New York Times today on work life balance and it’s role in the snow clean up debacle over the Christmas holiday in New Jersey. The article touches on when is it ok to leave work to honor family obligations when a crisis is brewing – should workers stay or go and does the gender of the worker matter in how their choice is viewed by employees or in this case, voters. We have come a long way in how work life balance is perceived in so many ways, and in others, there is still so much progress to be made. A thought provoking article for sure.
