This is the fallacy that hurts men and women. I care a lot about my job. But I care more about my family. Any culture that translate that as a negative (you care less about your job than someone else who is willing to sacrifice family time for the job) is an unhealthy culture, to put it mildly, and one that forgoes long-term thinking for short-term.
Employees who are physically and emotionally healthy (which includes your relationships with your family and friends) are more productive and happier. That is the important part.
- yummyfajitas 11y agoWhy do you believe a person who cares more about his job than you do is not "emotionally healthy" and therefore less productive? Is it so wildly implausible that people might have different desires and emotional makeup than you?
- the_ancient 11y agoActually was does a disservice to everyone is the idea that you need to "care" for job, or that a business is a "family" A person is paid to do work, if they make a life choice that means they no longer desire to do that work and instead wants to devote their time to other pursuits (like raising children) more power to them. Expecting their co-workers to pick up their slack, expecting their employer to pay for it, and unfairly holding open a job than an unemployed person could fill is simply selfish.
