The Job Culture isn’t just jobs, work, and business institutions. It’s a comprehensive way of life in which millions of people place institutional paid employment at the center of their world.
�What do you do?� is immediately understood to mean, �What kind of paid employment do you have?�
In the Job Culture, family life, recreation, deep personal interests, and desires all must be structured around and subordinated to The Job.
Even things like how we eat (fast foods), how we spend our leisure time (TV, shopping) and how we save for a rainy day (investing in stocks and bonds) are dictated by a culture of job holding and corporate institutions.
Our conversations, our holidays, our dress, our choice of neighborhood, choice of vehicle, health-care options, and a thousand other things are all dictated by one central force: The Holy Job.
This is normal? No, this is whacko. This is not the way human beings evolved to live.
