I just read a story where the mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, was touring a city facility when he noticed that an employee had a solitaire game on his computer screen. Bloomberg had the employee fired citing that only work should be done at work. No warning or anything, just fired. What an asshole. I'm 10 years out of college and from my observations, workaholics are ruining this country. Guys like Bloomberg are part of the problem, not the solution. I think back to the glory days of the 80's when workers had rights. Now the motto is grind, grind, grind or you'll be out of a job. I think back to that movie, 9 to 5. As I see it, they had nothing to complain about. They only worked 8 hours a day - how bad could it be. I put in 10 hours a day and will likely be working the next three saturdays. Why? Because my workaholic bosses work 12 hours a day and work seven days a week so to them my measely 50 hours a week is barely cutting it. I always love it how someone always wants to blame TV, music and movies for the problems of youth. The real problem is simple: two parents working ungodly hours in high stress environments where they could be fired at any time for any reason. There is no more loyalty to the employee. My boss thinks I'm from a lazy generation but I when I grew up in the 80's every parent in my neighborhood was home from work by 5:30 p.m. and every family ate dinner together. I'm sure it was the same in the 50's and 60's also. People took a job at 22 years old and worked there until 65 and when they retired, the company threw them a big party. I can't imagine going another 33 years at this pace. Anyone can be successful if success is measured by making a lot of money and working 70 hours a week. To me that isn't success, to me that is the mark of a complete failure. The catch is those people are bringing the rest of us down because we are expected to move up to their level of life-wasting.
