As I See It: The Sanctity of Work - by Victor Rozek, IT Jungle, NY
One of the advantages of working for a large company is that you can have an off day and hide in a vast employee pool without calling attention to yourself. Of course, some people hide for years, and others only give minimal effort, never exerting themselves beyond what it necessary to keep their job. Some are angry at the choices they've made and withhold effort as a way to punish their employers, as if their employers were solely responsible for their plight. But in the end, as Brian Tracy said, we all work for ourselves and the question worth pondering is: Knowing what you know about yourself, would you hire you?
The irony, as Ogden Nash put it, is that even if you don't want to work, you have to work to earn enough money so that you won't have to work.------------------------------------------- posted 5:10 AM :: reference link ::
