I didn't see the WLB acronym in the article. Something like "whole-life benefits?"

ETA: Just remembered "work-life balance." Gotcha!

I really wish people could stop using so many acronyms in general. Even though it usually is possible to guess, or in worst case google, the meaning, it always slow me down. I didn’t immediately understand WLB and I don’t remember seeing ETA meaning anything else that Estimated Time of Arrival before.

It just doesn’t take that long to write out the whole words.

Maybe we should use the Civil Service style and write out in full the first instance on an acronym.
Oh crap, the irony. As you probably figured out, ETA => "edited to add."
