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.
That’s because as an executive she has no issue being able to just “work remotely” or leave “early” on a random day to go to a doctor’s appointment, or parent teacher meeting mid-afternoon. She’s only accountable to (maybe) the other executives who do the same shit. She doesn;t even realize she’s doing it. That’s just how life works.
Meanwhile Maria and Bobby are getting written up for coming back from break 2 minutes late.
You hardly have to be an executive to have those sorts of options. I have done everything you mentioned at my last two jobs and didn’t have a single soul under my name on the org chart. This comment tells me you’ve never had a good job at a good company.

Quite the opposite, I haven’t experienced these hardships myself, but I’m able to recognize that tens of millions of people experience them every day. That it’s a reality we need to deal with as a society, and call out shitty executives that act like it doesn’t exist or that it’s the poor’s fault for not working harder (while they barely work, despite their claims). Did you mean to help prove the point that it’s extremely easy for people that don’t experience hardships like the inability to pay basic bills or afford food on a daily basis to fail empathizing with the workers that do? Because you did pretty spectacularly.
I’m talking about a majority of the everyday workforce here. Like 99% of the 2.1 million people working at Walmart stores under this executive’s leadership. Talking about the inability of corporate executives to empathize with their employees being broadcast widely without any of them realizing the hypocrisy in articles like this with their tone deaf claims.
I notice none of the examples involve taking care of life stuff while on the job. Only the one direction.
