Work Work Work A Point of View

    • Личные дневники

A L Kennedy argues that, as a country with low productivity, we must urgently address our unhealthy relationship with work.
But creating more workaholics like herself, she says, is the last thing we should be doing.
'Toxic work doesn't just blight our business hours - it wearies our affection, steals our time for each other,' Alison writes.
'We rely on free moments and free energy to invent, to recharge, to create. An exhausted, stressed population is docile, but doesn't solve problems well.'
