Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, isn’t a fan of the phrase “work-life balance.”
At an April 2018 event hosted by Insider’s parent company, Bezos said new Amazon employees shouldn’t view work and life as a balancing act. Instead, Bezos said it’s more productive to view them as two integrated parts.
“It actually is a circle,” Bezos said. “It’s not a balance.”
Bezos said his new hires should stop trying to find “balance” within their professional and personal lives since that implied a strict trade-off between the two. Instead, Bezos envisions a more holistic relationship between work and life outside the office.
