Critique of Work-Life Balance

Okay, I'm going to make this quick,

because I have to go into a meeting, I have three meetings today.

I have been in the corporate life for almost half my life,

for context, I'm 40 years old,

I have two children who are 11 and seven.

And I fell for it.

I fell for this,

this thing where you know, go to college,

get your degree. You know, if you want to have kids, you can do it all,

you can have a career, you can have kids,

you can just do do everything. Well, I don't I don't want to do everything.

I don't I don't want to do that anymore. I fell for that shit. Do not fall for it.

Do not fall for that shit.

I want to take my kids to school.

I want to pick them up from school. I want to be there when they get home.

I want to chaperone for them.

volunteer at school.

I just want to go to the gym,

clean my house, do laundry, go to the grocery store, and just be home.

So do me a favor.

Do not fall for that shit.

Because it is not worth it. It's a joke.

It's a joke.

Don't do it.

Be home, find a way to be home,

be with your family, be with your kids.

Just it's not worth it. None of this is worth it.
