Donna Karlin over at Fast Company paints us the ideal scenario: a workplace that’s irresistible, an environment that people would beg to be a part of. These types of organizations do exist, but the majority of us aren’t quite as fortunate to be a part of something so…dreamlike. But Karlin also poses an interesting question: can a workplace be too enticing? She brings up some valid points about maintaining a positive work-life balance. I wonder, though, if Karlin is taking for granted the kind of opportunities that some people will never see. While she’s complaining that employers might be caring too much, other people who are working suicide-inducing jobs are asking: will my employer ever care?
