30 People Who Prove That Work-Life Balance Doesn't Exist And That It's Just A Word Made Up By The Rich

A lot of people talk about maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and that's all great and well, but exactly how? When you're constantly meeting deadlines and setting new ones, when's the time to even take a moment for leisure?

Most people are labeled workaholics, not because they love to work, but because even if they wanted to maintain a work-life balance, they literally can't. Work becomes an everyday routine because, without hitting milestones and meeting deadlines, things could spiral downwards pretty quickly.

A majority of people are constantly thinking about their jobs—some about meetings, others about paperwork... it's crazy that we forget to live for ourselves too. The people who talk about maintaining a work-life balance, who exactly are they?

A majority of them have everything laid out. The struggle is minimal compared to someone who's just getting started.

I'm not pointing fingers or shaming anyone, but even if we tried, some of us would never be able to achieve a perfect work-life balance. When you work for a company, you're disposable and replaceable.

It's a scary fact, but I've known a couple of companies that have fired employees for trying to maintain a work-life balance. So here's a bitter truth: the term "work-life balance" is best used when you have everything laid out for you.

I mean, I don't know about you, but I started working when I was 15, and two decades later, I'm still working. It's been over 30 years, and I still haven't figured out this whole work-life balance thing.

If you feel the same, know that you're not alone. Here are 30 people who think that work-life balance doesn't exist.

This will hit people right in the feels.

It's crazy how some of us have to work 24/7 and still aren't paid enough to retire sooner! There may be an exclamation mark at the end of that sentence, but know that it wasn't meant to sound funny.

Imagine the life of new parents who don't have the liberty to take the desired number of days off simply because work provides for them. To these people, work-life balance doesn't exist.

The graduates or freshers who are just beginning their work journey have to work hard to prove their worth. For them, work-life balance doesn't exist.

To the people who are underpaid and have to work multiple jobs just to get by, work-life balance doesn't exist.

So before anyone preaches to you about maintaining a work-life balance, ask them how much they earn and how little they work, because it seems that for a normal human worker, work-life balance is nothing but a bestselling catchphrase.
