Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.
It’s the life that all these corporations want their workers to be forced to live. In their eyes, if you’re not producing value for the one on top, you should either be sleeping or dead. Oh, and they’ll only be paying you for 8 of those 18 hours you’ll be working, at the lowest possible rate they can, if you get the luxury of payment at all. If you’re a prisoner, tough luck.
Prisoners get paid. It’s like $0.08 an hour or some shit, but they get paid. And the funds are used exclusively to buy temporary products like toothpaste, and deodorant.
Here’s the thing though, 90% of her life IS tuned down. Every time she’s not worrying about how to pay the bills. How to get to work. How many presents there will be for Christmahannukwanzakkuh. Hell even how much this week’s groceries are going to cost from her own store thst she almost certainly doesn’t get most of her groceries from.
She just doesn’t realize it, because that’s not a life she’s experienced. She has absolutely no way to empathize because it’s as foreign to her as a guinea pig flying an airplane.
This still sounds awful. Never unplugged, never tuning down. What the fuck kind of life is that?
