“You might be [at your kid’s] soccer game, but you happen to look at a few emails,” Morris says. Maybe you’re chatting with your boss via text while waiting for an appointment, or tying up a few loose ends at work before you put the kids to bed. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a workaholic who lacks boundaries — rather, you find ways to combine your personal and professional duties that work for you, instead of being strict and inflexible with your time.

OK but Walmart retail staffers clock in and clock out with a time card, and require to be on site to fulfill their duties.

“If I never take a holiday, the tone that I set for everybody is, don’t take a holiday — you can’t do that. And I don’t think that that’s right,” says Morris. “As leaders, we have a responsibility to role model what we expect of others.”

Oh how generous of this person to take a vacation. Do they pay their Walmart retail staff to take a vacation too?

Oh is she ok with her employees texting their loved ones between tasks or is it only work that's supposed to encroach on everything else?

Yeah, it was telling that all her examples are of work "integrating" itself into your home life, and 0 examples of things working the other way around. If you want me answering emails during my kid's sporting event (jfk) then how about we make this a two-way street and I go home to do my laundry and watch some netflix if it's a slow day at the office lol. These fucking people.
