TRUE...VERY TRUE KHYAT!!
but who is to blame???
is really a person who is devoting all his /her time to give all the comforts to the spouse/children or parents???
here that person is not wrong but yes time management should be there . even a single hour with fully devotion to his family members is enough if in that time his personal life is totally personal.
n i hv seen some cases where spouse/children or parents need comforts or money more as compared to his precious time. but for this case percentage is less.

Dear all
The discussion is really an interesting one but think about one thing. Ya its true that our family members miss us; they don’t want our money but our time. All these are ok. But think can our family members be proud of us if we don’t do our work and bring home the money.
How will a son get arrange for the best of medical facilities for his parents if he doesn’t work……….
How will a father teach his children and send them for higher education if he doesn’t work hard………
How wills a husband ensure that his wife is happy and getting the best of the things if he doesn’t work hard………..
And without these things will the parents, children, wife be really happy?
We definitely work hard for the happiness of our loved ones.
Think about it…

U R RIGHT RIMA!!
but the question is not of working hard but wat will u say for that person who is in the position of giving everything to his family but still not devoting the time towards them.
wat i blv ...a person shud not be workoholic!!
he /she must seperate personal life from professional life!!
Rest every person have different way of thinking........

Yes sandhya ur right in ur point. But what I am trying to say is most of the people do not become workaholic themselves but the circumstances turns him into one. Wen he sees his peers are working late in the office he also has to coz he can’t afford to loose his job (especially in these days of hire n fire). When he sees his official working hours are 9-6 but the boss stays till late and his colleagues stays to create an impression on the boss he has to automatically stay whether he wants it or not it becomes a office norms.

Hi
This late working scenario is something which seems more applicable to Indian organizations than others.
I wonder if there are any of you who have read the following books :
1) Management by guilt by Nicholas Iuppa
2) How to be Idle by Tom Hodgkinson
3) Managing to Have Fun by Matt Weinstein
The first book talks about the REAL managing techniques. It tells it like it is without theoretical jargon. The second book talks about thought and the necessity to take time out today to think and actually "get a life". The third book talks about how to make work fun. Sadly, I dont think they are all available in print anymore.
These books are brilliant, thought-provoking and should be absolutely essential reading for management students AND working professionals who forget their home for various reasons like career growth or money.
It essentially boils down to your personal definition of success. If it is making money and attaining a position, or getting a job which allows time with family, it is a personal definition and as such is not open to judgement BY ANYONE.
However, at the same time, a person who defines success by career and money has NO RIGHT to moan about work life balance, and the rest of the world not being understanding and accomodating for him.
Would like to have the views of the others, especially those who might have read these books. You can google the titles for more information.
