Comment on With His Job Gone, an Autoworker Wonders, ‘What Am I as a Man?’parent

Comments

Without religion and people going unmarried/without kids, your career has become the thing that you pay more attention to.

Anecdotally, the young people I know treat employment as a transaction and recognize the lip-service to all the talk about how the company is like a family for what it is: lip-service. I associate this kind of emotional investment in employment with older workers, especially ones in union jobs where employment forms one's social and political community.
