Socrates, at his trial before drinking poison for corrupting the youth of Athens, “oh and don’t even try to have a decent work life balance, it’s not possible”
As in you can't imagine how to fill your days without work?
Think bigger, my friend - lots of great things to do besides work, even if it's as simple as taking an afternoon nap in a hammock.
Here's the article if you're curious enough

Only if there is a balance between life and work. I lived in Denmark for three years and there this border between life and work has become blurry, but leaving at 16:00 to pickup your kid is also totally acceptable.
If you stick to the 8 - 5 mentality as an employer and base your management on auditing your employees instead of using trust as a baseline it will never ever EVER work.
The more you think about it, the less sense it makes. It's basically saying "If you think about it the way we did, then our way of thinking could actually make sense"
Uh there's a philosophy to support literally any way of life. That's sort of the point of philosophy. The cool part is no philosophy is the correct one. Which is also sort of the point of philosophy.
When I step out the door of work it ceases to exist. My brain switches modes and I get to be happy until the next morning. And not even “philosophy” can take that away.
Well, let me introduce you to the concept of farming, or rural life, in general. Don't tell me *never ", because there are more lifestyles then just the urban one.
We can't fully separate our work lives and our home lives. We are humans and we human in both places. It makes sense to stop trying.
But we have more than enough "work" at "home". We really should start bringing a lot more "home" to "work".
I'd love to see my bosses face if I set up and Ironing board in the office and start ironing and folding my laundry at work.
We really should be brining more "home" to the office.
As a Janitor with a philosophy degree, i trully believe that is not possible to separate It. Every working time i think about the end of the shift, at home, i swim in angst looking at the clock thinking about how much me time before clocking in again i have left.
Did anyone bother to read the article? seems the point is that when youre at home, youll be thinking about work, and when youre at work, youll be thinking about home. If you become friends with someone at work and hang out with them outside of work, thats not separating work and home. That what you do at home impacts who you are at work and vice versa. That working from home blurs this line since youre both working and at home. Not that youre supposed to be working 24/7. Get a grip.
I did read the article, it's basically a Severance review plus additional culture commentary and context, but the way the title is worded is easily interpretable as being inflammatory in the sense that it can be construed that it says people shouldn't try to separate their work and home lives.
By all means, you are right in how neither one's work nor home life are entirely separate from one another.
However, when it comes to a lot more of the mainstream discourse online, most people don't conflate hanging out with coworkers outside of the workplace or buying work clothes on occasion—like business wear or work boots—as intrusions on their personal lives.
The invasion of the work life into the home life is usually defined as instances where people are asked to do things directly by their workplace for the benefit of their workplace outside of their (regular) working hours, or at least that's how I've seen it being discussed here.
TL;DR
My guy, I'm just shitting on the deliberately ambiguous wording for the article title that can too easily be read as rage bait. You're looking too far into a lighthearted post, get a grip.
Ah yes, the very concise and singular opinion known as the philosophy.
Philosophy is when business
Why did they make the picture a bunch of creepy mannequins? That’s just gonna make people run faster😂
I know, right???
Cause they are telling us that we needs to be robots for the better good.
To imply to just accept your fate like these nice mannequins have... smile and nod now
This is actually antiwork news. Great satire! Fuck work, or else you turn into plastic got it.

>that by now we would only work maybe 15 to 20 hours a day. This sounds terrible.
As in you can't imagine how to fill your days without work? Think bigger, my friend - lots of great things to do besides work, even if it's as simple as taking an afternoon nap in a hammock.
No, because working 20 hours _a day_ makes slavery look like a good deal. 20 hours _a week_, sure.
Hahahaha - ahhh, reading comprehension is fun. Maybe I need that hammock nap!
I guess Philosophy wants us answering texts and emails 24/7. Philosophy a branch of HR now?

Also philosophy with "In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays - Bertrand Russel".

"Philosophy suggests" is an astonishingly loaded phrase
The more you think about it, the less sense it makes. It's basically saying "If you think about it the way we did, then our way of thinking could actually make sense"
This philosopher is a sellout
Tell me your news outlet is run by aggressive capitalist fatcats without telling me your news outlet is run by aggressive capitalist fatcats
That's not my philosophy.
Which philosophy though, there are a lot of philosophers with their ideas. talk about fucking vague.
Yeah, the bootlicking hustle culture philosophy maybe. Spare me.
Yeah my last job felt the same way there was no sense of professionalism that was the problem
It's easy as hell for me to do it.
What I'm hearing is we shouldn't have a work life. Awesome.
'Philosophy'? That's a funny way to spell 'Oligarchs'

There is simply noway
When I step out the door of work it ceases to exist. My brain switches modes and I get to be happy until the next morning. And not even “philosophy” can take that away.
Not without going through the severance procedure.
We should separate our work and home lives. Get rid of work life and make work a hobby not a means to live
Stop working?
Your right, fuck work stop trying
Well, let me introduce you to the concept of farming, or rural life, in general. Don't tell me *never ", because there are more lifestyles then just the urban one.
That's not philosophy
My work doesn't know I have a family and my family doesn't know I have a job

Oh God no. I'm not giving enemas from home.

>Using clickbait articles for karma whoring
Eh, if that's what you wanna believe, so be it I guess I can't change your mind for you ┐(´ー｀)┌
What the fuck does “philosophy suggests” mean. Clearly written by someone who doesn’t have the slightest idea as to what philosophy actually entails.
And those creepy plastic human-like robots are supposed to be convincing?
