WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Get What You Want Out of Work and Life · 18 Nov 2024 podcast

And it probably goes back to what we were talking about, who's winning, right?

There is this mentality with some of these memes that we've seen around like quiet quitting or acting your wage, where people have seen what the work dynamic was like for their parents, and they don't want that.

And so I think that's definitely something that's changing.

It's so funny.

It's one of those phrases, and there's all these other trite phrases, like people will say things like, it's not work-life balance, it's work-life integration, or you can have it all, but not all at once.

I think my point would just be that having a big life is a good thing and a privilege.

And by a big life, I just mean all these different things in your life that you love, whether it's

you're a parent or you have really cool hobbies that make you who you are or all different kinds of friendships and relationships.

I think there's huge benefits to having different parts of your life to lean into.

I think it gives us perspective.

It can be really hard.

I don't mean to discount that, but I like to think of it as a privilege.

Some of it is about putting boundaries into place.

Sometimes there are just bosses that are really tough.

I don't want to put all this on employees.

Sometimes it's time to look for a new job.

Sometimes it's just a season of your life and it's, okay, this year is going to be like this and it's not what I want, but I'm going to get through it and take these steps to ensure that I'm moving on to something else with a better culture and a better balance in six months or two years.

So I think there are things that people can do, but I also want to remind people that it's not all on them.

I had a mentor say to me when I was deciding whether to leave my reporting job and take on the column, she told me to picture my dream job and ask myself whether this next step got me closer to it or farther away from it.

I thought that was incredibly helpful information.
