Episode Notes

Mickey and Jamie thought they were going to talk about one thing….but ended up on a COMPLETELY different topic (so tune back in to hear that later one). In true form to the show, we pivoted to talk about something else - a true riff!  So here it is…the topic - determining YOUR personal work life balance. 

Have you ever thrown shame on someone who you think is taking too much time off….OR someone who doesn’t take enough time off?  Do you consider yourself qualified to measure how other people are dealing with this balance? 

We live in a world, in a society, and in an industry where there is a LOT of expertise…but does that qualify us to judge when someone else has a work life balance issue?  Maybe we do and perhaps we don’t.  Instead of judging, we should support colleagues or subordinates - and watch for signals or indicators that show a lack of balance. In short, this is a personal thing - it ebbs and flows with the seasons and with each individual.  Listen up…together, let’s stop throwing shade when we don’t know all the factors for another person.
