May I ask where you transferred from? I don’t believe WLB is a priority for most Asian countries.. SE Asia might even be the least (generally) workaholic region of Asia

I'm from SE Asia, was hoping to hear from different people regarding their experiences to get a gauge of reality.

You mentioned that SE Asia is the least workaholic region? I mean, it's hard to top Japan and I don't intend to.

From what I gathered, my peers and juniors value WLB a lot though we don't get much of it. For me, the lack of agency over my own time is my source of frustration.
