An irresistible workplace?
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?

Not complaining…just sharing scenarios and asking the readers for their take. I don’t work in these companies, clients do and I’m observing ramifications of these ideal workplaces. Again as I stated, that wasn’t the initial goal of these organizations….so as I asked (not complained as if it were about my judgment) can a workplace be too enticing? Some say yes, some no…some who do work in this kind of environment are noticing those ramifications. What’s your opinion on this? I’d love to hear.
Best..
