I don't think it right that any employer should feel they own an employee completely, both body and soul, as that seems to be going back to the dark ages when that actually did happen.<br />I feel that there are people who may be ostracised by fellow workers because they try and lead a normal family life and don't always work extended hours beyond the norm.<br />I believe if one wants to receive payment at the end of the week/fortnight/month they they should fulfil their duties to the very best of their ability and have a good work ethic but I am convinced it can be carried too far.<br />I am glad you like the new format....books have always been a large part of my life so it seemed appropriate.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-90349171297336988582010-06-12T22:19:32.172+08:002010-06-12T22:19:32.172+08:00Like the new look.Like the new look.Kakkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16376864098492915312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-61889181914559162582010-06-12T22:19:11.628+08:002010-06-12T22:19:11.628+08:00I know I don't work longer for greed, or that ...I know I don't work longer for greed, or that my work is greedy. There is however more work to do as the government is constantly down sizing its staff. No one makes you work more than 37.5 hours, but if the work needs to be done then if you are like me you do it, for no extra money. So while a few may have greed as an motivator, I can say that a lot of us just do what is needed.Kakkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16376864098492915312noreply@blogger.com
