DOM Joly has helped create a hilarious comedy skit that highlights the everyday struggles of small business owners. In classic Joly style, the comedian, best known for Trigger Happy TV, plays an overwhelmed entrepreneur, juggling endless work calls and client demands while trying to carve out a moment of peace.
The sketch, created in partnership with Air Landline, brings humour to the problem of work-life balance that many business owners face. It comes after a survey commissioned by the virtual landline company found 16 per cent always feel like they’re on-call 24/7.
And 50 per cent will respond to a message received out of office hours within 30 minutes, if not immediately. A spokesperson for Air Landline said: “Being your own boss sounds great in theory, but the reality is that it often means you're working even harder.
“You're not just managing the business, you're deeply involved in every decision, from the small details to the big picture. “As a result, small business owners often find themselves working during hours they should be spending on personal activities.
“Whether it's an important project that needs finishing or an issue that can't wait, the business needs constant attention, which means personal time often becomes an afterthought.". The demand for immediate responses from clients leaves 72 per cent feeling guilty when they take time away from work.
