What are some important qualities of a good supervisor (boss)?
People work because they need money to live. What are some other reasons that people work?
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most important aspect of a job is the money a person earns.
分享三个好段落：
For many Americans today, paid work is not just a way to make money but is a crucial source of their self-worth. Many of us identify ourselves almost entirely by the kind of work we do. Work still has a powerful psychological and spiritual hold over our lives--and talk of shorter work-time may seem somehow morally suspicious.
The simple fact is that Americans today--both women and men--are spending too much time at work, to the detriment of their homes, their families, their personal lives, and their communities.
Ironically, the many advances in technology, such as computers and fax machines, rather than reducing our workload, seem to have speeded up our lives at work. At the same time, technology has equipped us with "conveniences" like microwave ovens and frozen dinners that merely enable us to adopt a similar frantic pace in our home lives so we can cope with more hours at paid work.
