One of the great challenges of professional life is striking a "balance" between professional and personal life. Many employers now know that finding a way to strike this balance is essential to recruiting, retaining, and developing the best workers. This week, we look at the flock of idiots better known and the "Friends" in order to look at some mistakes that people often make when trying to get the most out of both work and life. PS- Be not mistaken, we love the show Friends, but if we ever met Ross, Rachael, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe, or Joey in real life, we would avoid them at all costs.
