[FRIAM] Where are all the workers going?

[Merle Lefkoff]

>From the Atlantic Magazine this morning.

 “Decades of studies have shown that the people most satisfied with their
work are those who find a fundamental match between their employer’s values
and their own,” our columnist, Arthur C. Brooks, writes. “Too many people
who work hard and strive for success self-objectify as excellent work
machines and tools of performance,” Arthur explains.  “Employees love it;
bosses, not so much,” our Special Projects editor Ellen Cushing writes in
our magazine’s technology issue. The software is changing how a generation
works—and complains.  “Forget the beanbag chairs and the foosball table.
Give your staff clean air instead,” Joseph Allen, a Harvard professor,
advises.


(I'd like to add that $15/hr. is not a living wage.)
