There's so much focus on letting women have balance in their lives, but almost never men.
Women complain that they can't keep up with men because they can't reconcile 80-hour workweeks with raising children.
The solution is not healthier, more balanced workweeks for women. The solution is healther, more balanced workweeks for everyone.
The solution is creating a cultural expectation where CEO's work 50 hours a week, not 90, regardless of gender or children.
After all, male CEO's would love this just as much as female CEO's with children. But they can't ask for it, because it's seen as weak and uncommitted, and another male CEO will take their place.
There's a truth behind the clichéed businessman dying in his bed, saying he wishes he had spent less time working and more with his wife and children. But as a society, we refuse to let our male CEO's work less. Why?
