In this fast-paced competitive world, people are working around the clock to meet the demands of their jobs and are struggling to strike a work-life balance. Working at odd hours, meeting clients’ demands and what could make it worse is if you have a horrible boss. Some bosses will treat you like they own you and will expect you to be at their every beck and call. Sadly, most of us go through this and this work culture drains us out completely.
