“You might be [at your kid’s] soccer game, but you happen to look at a few emails,” Morris says. Maybe you’re chatting with your boss via text while waiting for an appointment, or tying up a few loose ends at work before you put the kids to bed.

That literally just sounds like she's always working, even when she's supposed to be focused on family.

That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a workaholic who lacks boundaries — rather, you find ways to combine your personal and professional duties that work for you, instead of being strict and inflexible with your time.

Ummm, yeah...that's actually the definition of being a workaholic who lacks boundaries. She may as well be saying, "I don't think sipping from a bottle of vodka in my purse while I'm picking my kids up from school, makes me an alcoholic...I think of it more like multitasking."

sigh Another narcissist CEO who cannot grasp the idea that "life", in this context, is just an employees working for themselves and pursuing their own interests instead of working for others to pursue corporate interests.

Ah yes, a person who was parachuted into high level positions right out of university lectures everyone on hard work.

oh shut up. I hate it when these rich fuckers are all "I got to where I am because I work hard." no you got to where you are because you're wealthy. Unlike EVERYONE fucking under your ass you can afford to hire a private chef to cook your meals, maids to clean your house(s) and do your laundry/chores, nannies for your kids, assistants to run your errands, all while you pull out your phone and write some god awful poorly written emails because that's all you fuckers do and I know this because in my field I deal with morons like you. None of you idiots work hard. An LLM could do your job, in fact that's the goal.

Couldn't write an email to save your life. they all write them like they're in an ICQ conversation.

Thanks for letting us know that you have no life. There will be an age when you realize what you have missed and your unhappiness will consume you. And it will be your fault. Real Humans know that a full life involves having personal time separate from a job.

This kind of useless performative busy-ness is one of the stupidest forms virtue signalling.

This is a mental illness.

CNBC has gotten nauseatingly terrible

It’s Comcastic!

Thanks, I hate it...Doing anything they can to normalize aberrant behavior like a lack of boundaries between employees and the corporation is pretty disgusting. Like ma'am you make loads of money, the average worker will never see that type of money in their lifetime. Work-life balance is crucial to being able to maintain energy to perform well at work, so many studies show that. She can't be bothered to admit she's a workaholic with no boundaries and is trying to conflate violating employee/corp boundaries as being flexible with one's time. This is a cursed article in my opinion. Useful for getting insight into those strange exec thoughts, though...

This work style suits me as well. I have always preferred jobs that reward outcomes and offer true flexibility. Sometimes I work a lot. Sometimes I log off at 2pm and nap. But it isn't right for everyone.
