HORACE
Satires
We are not unaccustomed to becoming imposters by the time we reach our desks each morning. By design, we've been taught that professionalism in American office society mostly equates to assimilation -- requiring that, as employees, we self-adjust to fit into a ready-made office culture governed by unwritten rules. Our identities, which transcend across race, gender, marital status, sexuality, education and economic background, are not to be considered acceptable fodder for a politically-correct workplace environment.

"Bringing Your 'Whole Self' to Work Is Harder Than It Sounds", Triple Pundit, February 1, 2016
Online and on-demand work is changing the way an increasingly large chunk of the population puts money in their pockets, opening up new opportunities for professionals to work from home or connect with local opportunities using an app. Businesses benefit by being able to outsource work to people across the world and employees benefit by being able to make money on their own terms.
CYNTHIA JOHNSON
"8 Companies Shaping the Future of the Booming Online Work Economy", Entrepreneur, February 10, 2016
We are not people who believe only in the survival of the fittest. Work in America is more than a paycheck; it a source of pride, self-reliance and identity.
JOHN MCCAIN
speech, June 3, 2008
In this society we live in now, our work is a 24/7 reality for most people.
DAWN WHITE
"Lower Allen Township Police begin 90-day trial of 12-hour work days", abc27, April 1, 2017
There's nothing but what's bearable as long as a man can work.... The square o' four is sixteen, and you must lengthen your lever in proportion to your weight, is as true when a man's miserable as when he's happy; and the best o' working is, it gives you a grip hold o' things outside your own lot.
GEORGE ELIOT
Adam Bede
If I were a medical man, I should prescribe a holiday to any patient who considered his work important.
BERTRAND RUSSELL
Autobiography
Immediate work, even poor, is worth more than dreams.
CHARLES BAUDELAIRE
My Heart Laid Bare
As technology advances and employees demand greater flexibility and mobility, the word "work" will continue to take on new and different meanings. Ultimately, though, from the perspective of employers, the goal will stay the same: to bring people, content and technology together in a single, unified content-experience platform that promotes effective team collaboration and improves business performance.
PAIGE O'NEILL
"The definition of work is shifting", Network World, March 13, 2017
A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o'clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone.
EMILY BRONTË
Wuthering Heights
The more one works, the better one works, and the more one wants to work. The more one produces, the more fertile one grows.
CHARLES BAUDELAIRE
My Heart Laid Bare
Work with some men is as besetting a sin as idleness.
SAMUEL BUTLER
Notebooks
I do not believe we can repair the basic fabric of society until people who are willing to work have work. Work organizes life. It gives structure and discipline to life.
BILL CLINTON
speech in Memphis, November 13, 1993
Clearly the most unfortunate people are those who must do the same thing over and over again, every minute, or perhaps twenty to the minute. They deserve the shortest hours and the highest pay.
JOHN KENNETH GALBRAITH
Made to Last
The truth is that as soon as we are no longer obliged to earn our living, we no longer know what to do with our life and recklessly squander it.
