That has nothing to do with work/life balance. No one is saying work is evil. If anything society says the opposite is true, that work is necessary and noble.
You can hate your job and have great work/life balance.
You can love your job and have poor work/life balance.
For most people the proper balance means they can stop thinking about work on the weekend, or after their shift is over. They don't have to take support calls or talk with customers all the time. Work/life balance means they don't have to be online and connected to the office 24/7.
Of course there's exceptions. When starting a business your work/life balance will be skewed towards work. If you're working towards a deadline sometimes you have to push late at night and through the weekend.
