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.
I once heard the following which struck a chord for me and I always keep it in mind when it comes to work:
“20 years from now, the only people who will remember you stayed late at work are your kids”
Obviously this doesn’t apply if you have to work late to survive. If you have the choice though, don’t give these companies more time than they really deserve. You won’t be remembered or rewarded for it.
I don’t work anymore (disability),but when i did, I went all out and over-performed at my job. It got me nothing. No pay-rises, no recognition. If i am ever able to return to work, I will do the bare minimum to not get fired.

Instead, you’ll just be used as the example of “being a team player” the manager tries to invoke to cajole others into doing free work, too.
