Specifically, it seems to work on people who don’t feel very attached to their jobs. They have separate, thriving lives outside of work, and are fully able to leave all baggage at their desks before they go home.
Is this a bad thing somehow? Shouldn't we all strive to have separate thriving lives outside of work and to leave the company baggage behind when we go home?
- ZachPruckowski 16y agoIt's poorly phrased, but I think he means to make a distinction between people who enjoy their work and get into it, and people who view work just as a way to pay the bills. The latter may need more direct and focused supervision than the former, who just needs guidance.
- ia 16y agoExactly. I see it as the difference between "It's a job" and "It's my job".
- jrockway 16y agoIf you're working on something complicated and interesting, you can't just turn off your interest when the clock strikes 5. It's always with you. Some people, however, see work as a place where they go to keep the chairs nice and warm during the day, and have no problem "turning it off" at the end of the day.
