It’s culturally common for people in the U.S. to look at their careers as something that, at least in part, defines them. The struggle for work/life balance is real, and the temptation to wear professional busyness as a badge of honor might mean it’s time to think deeper about the role we want work to play in our lives. In this episode, Alyse Maguire, a journalist covering career and workplace trends, offers her insights on when it’s OK for a job to be just that - a job.
