I really detest the phrase "work-life balance" on a number of levels. For one thing, it implies that there is an inherent tension between the two things. For another, it implies that "life" is just another obstacle for your employer to work around as it tries to manage to its P&L. The best employers establish clear expectations and deadlines, and then give their employees a lot of discretion about how to manage their own lives to meet those.
