Work - Life - Balance

There is no such thing as work life balance. It's all about work, and we should be glad if there is anything that's left behind, because that is .. erm... life?
-- quoted from my sweetheart's candidate

I say we should be entitled to a life besides work. Gimme my official 40 hours workweek as stated in my employment contract. Singapore loves to take on international best practices, I say we should adopt the French model. My French colleagues are such a lucky bunch - Executives in the land of Gucci and Prada enjoy a mandatory 35 hours workweek, and there is no such thing as overtime! Provisions set in the labour laws made OT illegal! Yes, you heard it right, it's illegal to do OT in France!

Magnifique!
