Please allow me to affirm you're not alone in craving structure and a sense of professionalism in the modern workplace. Personally I genuinely dislike the "casual-ification" of work, if that made-up phrase makes any sense. At a prior job, I genuinely enjoyed wearing nice slacks, a nice button down, and a nice tie...which was the standard for back-office employees. Reason being if a client ever came in, they should see consistency and the effort (very relationship oriented firm).
I have poor personal discipline at times so working from home is distasteful to me. My wants and desires for fun / chores / etc don't mesh well with "being by computer or phone waiting for contact" - I get edgy. Then how can I unwind, I'm already home?!
I'm aiming to one day be self-employed, preferably in screenwriting. Should the financial compensation reach the point of the luxury of quitting my full-time employment with benefits, my first order of business will be to sign a lease at some type of office. I want to work 8-12 and then, as my brain shuts off, go home and spend time on personal things, chores, amusements, cooking, etc. I crave structure and therefore feel empowered by recognizing this characteristic in myself.
- mark_edward 10y agoCasualization or proletarianization are the word you're looking for, when formerly/currently professional jobs are turned more and more and more into the precarious and interchangeable position of, say, a day laborer at the factories of yore. Adjuncts at universities are a good example. It's a natural part of the development of market economies. This is how you notice when your being prepared for automation. See Taylorism, scientific management, etc.
- 6stringmerc 10y agoInteresting! Thanks for the context. I agree with the Adjuncts example very much.
