职场新调查:工作生活失衡不能怪老板

“答案部分在于让雇员自己负责，但不要把标准降得太低，”提供职业发展支持的非营利组织ThirdPath的创始人杰西卡•迪格鲁特说。“如果没有更多有勇气的人站起来反对，美国企业就会给雇员提过多的要求，结果对婚姻和家庭造成破坏。”

Just look at the price that former Lehman Brothers CFO Erin Callan paid for giving her all to the job: Her marriage ended, and when Lehman collapsed she felt her entire identity was gone.

"For those working full-time at low-wage jobs, 'leaning in' and other personal decisions and choices does not provide a path out of poverty. We need labor standards that provide a stable floor for all workers and families."
