It's all about holiday not money. You work stoopid hours for what ? That warm feeling inside ? The money ? The money AND the free time to spend the money in... i.e. the holiday you work so frigging hard for 4 weeks holiday a year.
But is that why you work so hard. No I work so hard... because I have my "dream job". I have a career path.
BULLSHIT.
Career paths and dream jobs are ideas sold by the private sector to keep you motivated and working hard.
This has been especially evident during the current downturn. Suddenly those annual promotions aren't happening any more because of economic conditions. i.e. The promotions aren't because your good enough but because the company is growing and needs managers/ senior programmers / sysadmin team leads...
Ok so why do they need to keep you motivated to work harder and longer. For lots (of quite complicated reasons) its due to double digit growth. Companies want stay stagnant they have to grow and not at the same rate every year. They have to grow at a rate of greater than 10% every year or their faceless investors will take take their cash and invest it elsewhere.
And that's it those faceless investors. Its because of them that your CEO and hence your boss wants to keep you motivated and working hard. Your hard work doesn't just let your company make a profit, it keeps the interest coming into those shareholders SO THEY GET 52 weeks holiday a year.
This is my life's work. Let me know what you think.
This has been knowing about for some time in my head it's good to have it out.
I remember the first time that I discovered that the foundations of mathematics were shakey.
Math always appeared to me as the one immutable subject. It comes with a shock to discover that 1+1 = 2 ONLY BECAUSE IT IS DEFINED TO BE SO!!!
For the majority of us that is scarey enough a thought.
For the mathematically inclined however, Goedel and more recently this guy (Chaitlin) - place into doubt theories buitl on those shaky foundations... infintely more scarey...
Errrmmmm.....
