I have worked for several fortune 100 companies and each one of them has preached "work life balance". Only 1 of the 3 actually walked the walk and they (unlike the other 2) are consistently ranked as one of the best companies to work for. If I were to try and call my boss anytime after 5:30, he would think I was crazy. As long as you are performing to a high level, they leave you alone. -As it should be. This company also does dollar for dollar charitable matching and pretty much demands that twice a year we all take a day off from work to do community service. I've painted inner city schools with C-Level executives sweating while they worked right next to me. It's a cool environment. (that shall remain nameless :))
