Exactly. Pay me enough, and treat me well, and I will weave my personal and work life together.

But tell me that when I’m at work, my personal life disappears? That’s a different kind of balance, and that means that when I’m not at work, work disappears. Travel, no. Dinners, no. Special events, no. Conferences, no. Don’t even ask, the answer is no.

But that wouldn’t happen. I’m not working anywhere that doesn’t recognize my basic humanity.
