They just don't get it!
Sigh. Another report by social scientists w masters degrees publishing at Harvard telling the rest of us how we can choose to break our "addiction to work". Seriously??!! My dad, brothers and I have all worked way over 60 hour weeks most of our lives, but it's not addiction ya ivy-league-well-meaning-luvable-knuckleheads. We gotta pay the bills!! My dad.- a commission-only insurance agent wanted to get his kids thru college because he nor his parents could afford to get him thru. He did it! (Thanks mom and dad). But he did it cuz he worked crazy hours towards this goal he didn't work crazy hours cuz he was "addicted to work". He did it to provide for his family in the way he wanted. Honestly, they really should have a semester at advanced degree colleges that put them in real world situations to try to teach empathy, no? Lol, ok I'm done. It's just so strange to keep reading things in one set of publications that seem so disconnected from most people's reality. And I thought I'd voice that frustration here....
