Summary, etc. | A wide-ranging look at the allure and changing significance of work.With seductions, misunderstandings, and misinformation everywhere, this immensely readable book calls for a new contract--with ourselves.<br/><br/>Drawing from history, mythology, literature, pop culture, and practical experience, Ciulla probes the many meanings of work or its meaninglessness and asks:<br/><br/>Why are so many of us letting work take over our lives and trying to live in what little time is left?<br/><br/>What has happened to the old, unspoken contract between worker and employer?<br/><br/>Why are young people not being disloyal when they regularly consider job-changing?<br/><br/>Employers can't promise as much to workers as before. Is that because they promise so much to stockholders?<br/><br/>Why are there mass layoffs and "downsizing" in a time of unequaled corporate prosperity? And why are the most common lies in business about satisfactory employee performance?<br/><br/>The traditional contract between employers and employees is over. This thoughtful and provocative study shows how to replace it by the one we make with ourselves. |
