Abstract

With information technology (IT) workers being increasingly stretched by extensive projects and aggressive timelines, this fictional example illustrates a problem faced by many working couples. While extended work demands are not the exclusive domain of IT professionals, mounting evidence indicates that workers in the IT sector are experiencing longer work hours, more work-life conflict, and higher indices of burnout than their coworkers in other functional areas. The following case study focuses on the issue of Work Life Balance of a working couple. The case escribes the struggles, decision dilemmas and the turmoil faced by Mr. Sunil and his wife to achieve a perfect balance between their family and professional life. The case study revolves around Mr. Sunil who works for a large Indian Software Service Provider company and his wife Anjali who is working for a private bank.
