Das richtige Verhälnis aus Arbeit und Leben.

Ein interessanter Artikel zu dem Verhältnis von Arbeit und Leben und wie sich dieses Verhältnis zukünftig entwickeln wird.

Auch bei uns und unserem Vorhaben war diese Fragestellung von Bedeutung und ein entscheidender Antrieb für die Entscheidung, unseren eigenen Weg einzuschlagen.

Viel Arbeit ist kein Problem, solange Du an den Sinn des ganzen glaubst.

My mom always told me “Make your passion your profession, and you’ll be a happy man.” She was right, and I am glad I followed her advice. Yet I appear to be part of a minority. In an article about growing disenchantment at work (“Hating What You Do”), this week’s Economist cites a survey conducted by the Center for Work-Life Policy, an American consultancy. It found that between June 2007 and December 2008 the proportion of workers who professed loyalty to their employers slumped from 95% to 39%, and the number voicing trust in them fell from 79% to 22%. Furthermore, the article refers to a more recent survey by DDI which found that more than half of the respondents described their job as “stagnant,” as in “nothing interesting to do” and “little hope of professional growth” within their current organization. Half of these “stagnators” said they were planning to look for another job as soon as the economy recovered. These survey findings are flanked by several recent cultural events in the US that indicate a shift in the way we negotiate the meaning of work, for example Michael Moore’s “Capitalism – A Love Story” and a whole New York Times Magazine issue on “Anxiety.”
