The third season of Kota Factory reminded us that even the brightest stars need breaks to shine as "Jeetu Bhaiya" struggles for work-life balance.
'Jeetu Bhaiya', the perfect teacher, the 'Agony Aunt' who motivated countless students and fostered a close-knit community, found himself grappling with the immense pressure of his role. This resonated deeply because...
The pressure to perform can extend beyond just results. We may feel the burden of maintaining an image and constant availability, turning initial strengths like dedication into overwhelming demands. This highlights a crucial point: our best qualities can become burdens without healthy boundaries.
We often forget that what appears perfect from the outside can mask internal struggles. Jeetu Bhaiya's journey serves as a powerful reminder that everyone experiences challenges, regardless of their professional facade.
This brings us to the critical issue of work-life balance and its impact on mental stress. When we neglect personal well-being in favor of constant work, stress builds up. This mental strain doesn't stay confined to the mind; it affects our entire physical health.
Burning out doesn't benefit anyone. It impacts our well-being, creativity, and ultimately, our work quality.
So, what can we do?
1. Open conversations: Let's talk about the mental stress of corporate life! Normalize prioritizing personal well-being.
2. Boundaries: Set clear boundaries between work and personal life. Disconnect after hours and enjoy hobbies, family, and friends.
3. Supportive workplaces: Companies need to foster a culture that prioritizes employee well-being. Flexible work arrangements, mental health resources, and open communication are key.
'Jeetu Bhaiya' reminds us that even the brightest stars need breaks to shine. Let's learn from him and create a work environment where success and well-being go hand-in-hand.

2wI worked for Kimberly-Clark for over eighteen years and was constantly harassed and treated like less than a number. The roll position control, in front of all TMCs around the world, was my idea. I also was the person that told the engineers how to take out the shutter in the variable speed of the TMCs. I was asked how to code the automation of the perfhead and it is coded how I said to today. I also told the engineers how to code the line integration control in PCMC Chester and the front line managers, level 5s, and engineers still don’t get the concept. The harassment was ongoing for 18 years. The union president, vice president, and PCMC vice president should have their union cards pulled and be fired immediately along with the head of personnel in Chester. The people who are responsible for stopping harassment are the ones who are responsible for the harassment! The harassment from the personal department, salary personnel and union representatives was well documented by me and many other employees. David Maden
