Work-life balance policy cartoon by Kaapi with Ravi: An HR manager presents a massive policy book to exhausted employees who have no time to read it.

The Scenario: In this work-life balance policy cartoon, we witness the ultimate corporate irony.


A leadership team has identified that the staff is burnt out, and their solution isn't to reduce the workload—it's to issue a dense, 14-page manual explaining how to be "balanced."


It captures that groan-inducing moment where the very tool meant to help you relax becomes another item on your ever-growing to-do list.


The Observation: This piece of workplace satire targets the "Documentation Delusion."


It critiques a culture where a work-life balance policy cartoon reflects the belief that if you document a solution, the problem disappears.


At Kaapi with Ravi, we highlight the comical irony that the thicker the wellness manual, the thinner the actual patience of the employees who have to live under it.


A 14-page work-life balance policy is just a fancy way of telling employees that they're now responsible for fixing their own burnout on their own time.
