As a seasoned professional in the field of office politics, I can confidently say that achieving a work-life balance is nothing but a myth perpetuated by sadists and hippies. I mean, who needs a social life when you can spend 12+ hours a day staring at a screen, wondering why your code isn't working, and eating Cheetos for dinner?
But wait, there's more! Did you know that having a work-life balance can lead to feelings of fulfillment, happiness, and not-hating-your-job? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Who needs to be fulfilled when you can just exist in a state of perpetual burnout?
So, if you're feeling burned out, exhausted, and questioning your life choices, don't worry! Just keep staring at that screen, and remember: it's not like you have a family, friends, or a body that will eventually give out from all the stress. You'll be just fine. Or, at the very least, you'll be as miserable as the rest of us.
