Working Life

Hey Dears,

 "Special Sunday" is here!!! So whats our special dish for today?

This week I learnt a lot about Work in the North, then for the past few weeks I have been learning about Work in the South. Then I thought, oh wow! Its good to come with comparisons between the two sides and share it with you.

 First of all, 

As a starter/appetizer, we all do ask ourselves questions about jobs....I will provide answers to what i think. Understand my answers to these questions are highly subjective

Why are jobs sooooo important?

Zee's answer

Income earning "work hard, play hard"

What do we want from jobs?

Zee's answer

1. An interesting, satisfying and trusting job which offers security.
2. Financial security meaning good pay
3. Meaningful or useful to the society sometimes to achieve self satisfactions

What do we get from the jobs and why so?

Zee's answer

Unless self employed but control over the job is plays a key role.

No wonder when it gets to Friday, for those who feel tooo controlled at their workplace they think of "TGIF"-Thank God its Friday and find relief in the sense that they don't have to be answerable to their duties assigned by their bosses during the week days.

Understand that most interesting jobs tend to be least alienated, for instance teaching, a teacher has to follow the curriculum but as a professor at university, more control over what he or she teaches. But still control is present.

Wages and Fringe Benefits

Jobs gives us wages and other fringe benefits like free health care, housing, a free car etc. This provides us job security on top of the contract.

I'm sure if i was to ask you the list of questions on jobs, then the questions will go on and on and on but those are a few I chose.

Thanks to Op-ed assignment

Who knows? I wouldn't have come across this video, but thanks to Op-ed assignment for I researched more and found a very nice video with live examples to use for my Op-ed :)

As I continue to write my op-ed on Domestic workers in Tanzania, I came across a very touching yet inspiring video "Hyena square in Dar Tanzania" a full documentary video on a girl called Elisa who started off as a domestic worker, she was mistreated even worse raped by the husband of the family and the story continues.....

watch the video for more

I was touched. I had to share the video today, I just couldn't wait for 

"Special Sunday"
