Currently at a big agency that promised a healthy work-life balance, and I’m absolutely drowning in work. Are there any companies out there that actually DO have a great work-life balance?

I think a lot of it is setting and enforcing personal boundaries, which often means taking a hit to the ego or navigating that tricky line in the sand because everyone - our companies, clients, families and friends - are trying to do so much more with so much less (time, money, energy, etc) these days

I got an offer from Infosys and the joining date was 12th December, I drop my resignation to my current employer based on the offer date and my LWD is 2nd December. But Infosys has delayed it by 20 days and revised it on 2nd January also they have sent me a addendum with new joining date. Now I am little anxious if it is due to the recession that has hit Indian market or if they again delay the joining. Please suggest do I need to withdraw my resignation or stick to Infosys offer.Infosys
