The Polite Fiction of Work/Life Balance

What this episode covers

Today we explore the unspoken myth – that when firms talk about “work/life” balance in their advertising material, they don’t necessarily mean what you think they mean. In another extract from Moving Beyond Law School Theory, uncle Andrew has a few choice words to say about just what work/life balance really means, and what that means for you. We also take a look at the proper hours that Andrew believes you should be spending in the office – and why not being very busy doesn’t make any difference.
