How can hard work be unethical?

The recession is pushing most of us to work longer and harder – or (in our own minds) risk losing our jobs. But while many of us are succumbing to this pressure, Bruce Weinstein (a.k.a. The Ethics Guy) warns that “burning the candle at both ends” won’t save your job – and it’s unethical, to boot.

Skeptical? I was, too, until I read this great article on the ethics of work-life balance.

It makes a great case for setting limits when it comes to work – especially during the current economic crisis.
