I don't want to be a copy of my boss😟

Yesterday, my boss—let’s call her Linda—was forced to retire at 64. She stayed in the office until 7:30pm, even after showing up late with her head wrapped in bandages from surgery. It was almost like she couldn’t let go, even when her health was clearly failing. Linda had no friends, no family close by, no hobbies—her entire identity was her job. Watching her ignore her diabetes, skip vacations, and push everyone away made me wonder: is this what happens if you let work take over your life? Honestly, I’m worried. I see myself working late, skipping breaks, and putting off personal plans. How do you find balance before it’s too late? Has anyone else felt trapped like this? I’d really appreciate your advice. 😔 #WorkLifeBalance #Retirement #CareerAdvice #JobCareer
