Rotaring the workforce for a slight variation in monotony

2012-05-13T07:17:00.001-07:00

Most people find their job tedious at somepoint. Is it human nature to lose focus on one task or topic and long for an alternative muse or distraction every ten minutes. Or just the amount of hours your forced to commit, week in week out, which quite often leaves one exhausted and a slave to the more mundane immediate survival neccesities as apposed to theorising or challenging old fashioned methods or rigid burreaucratic institutions. Isnt it just the same pattern , only a vast varying degrees on the quality of living in our limited spare time, even if you like your job or fortunate enough to have one in msny parts of the world, elements of this modrrn slave labour runs true throughout, moreover the long repititious nature of it all. Wouldnt it be better to rota every 2 weeks 3 or 4 jobs if they didnt require much training (which frankly most dont) and assess their performance in that fresh environment. Eliminate the hmrc paperwork by an automated system once electronically registered into each place. Meet more people, generate ideas, experiences and find what you enjoy the most..not the job but more the tasks. Essentially a paid placement if not a permanant role, which would get people into work if they saw it as a project or short term goal leading to better skills. Whats is the deal with this supposed life long commitment to your education course, your job, your hobbies, why is it such a hinderance to be able to change any part of your life without resulting in a fucking mountain to climb financially.

Until i have time to write a proper piece..
