Employment (Ref: i1201)

Throughout the rich Western democracies we work to some sort of standard hours for a standard sort of number of years and then we die. There is already tremendous pressure for change. We do not need to work as much as we do. Many people thrive on hard work and should be allowed to do it as they wish. Many also wish for shorter more flexible working so that they can give priority to other aspects of their lives as they see fit. There are many people who would work longer hours if they had more fulfilling jobs and many more who would rather work less because they do not like their jobs or because they do loathsome jobs in the first place. We are hidebound by habits we do not need and that do not serve our own needs. We must stop hitting our heads against the brick wall not because it lessens the pain but because the pain is unnecessary in the first place.
