Good employers actually value employees, and will ensure that they take proper breaks and their entitlement of leave, because they care about them

Bad employers (who also make punctuality an issue, etc.) invoke work-life balance as a weapon and / or bad managers use it 'unseen'

A composer of music, whether writing to commission or not, is not answerable to anyone but inspiration when a glorious theme comes to mind or an impasse in the work evaporates

However, one conceals from bad employers / managers, say, not when an e-mail was sent, but when drafted
