Here at CGL, we are passionate about work-life balance. This is one of the main reasons we are a distributed company.
Burnout is far too common amongst professionals. Finding a balance between the stress of work and real life is more important than ever. I believe it is extremely important to talk about this issue so, in this episode, I discuss it with an expert.
