Comments on: Feisty Fireball Tip of the Week: Get Ballsy, Get Entitled http://www.gradmeetsworld.org/2012/04/16/feisty-fireball-tip-of-the-week-get-ballsy-get-entitled/ The Real Adventure Starts After College Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:04:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Shannyn @thefrugalpreneur.com http://www.gradmeetsworld.org/2012/04/16/feisty-fireball-tip-of-the-week-get-ballsy-get-entitled/#comment-704 Shannyn @thefrugalpreneur.com Sat, 21 Apr 2012 14:18:55 +0000 http://www.gradmeetsworld.org/?p=585#comment-704 For me, the work revolution is the other side of the coin for changes that are happening in our working world. Not everyone wants to quit their job, sell their stuff and freelance- some people just want to fall in love with a job they used to enjoy again and make their working day suck less, that's okay too! Julie Clow was dead on when she said that our working world is still based on an antiquated industrial model. We are all asked to show up from 9-5 and work "productively" the whole time. Most people work productively for the first 3 hrs. and then play solitaire. Julie recommends a model of trust- as an employer you don't have to fret if a worker takes an hour off to go for a walk, exercise or sit outside, though they aren't "working" having healthier employees leads to greater productivity overall and a better work environment, but that's currently not the way we do things! I currently run my own business but found several gems in the book that I know will apply to my working day and can help some of my friends who are in the 9-5 workforce. Loved the book. Great post Amanda! For me, the work revolution is the other side of the coin for changes that are happening in our working world.

It's all about our own perspectives. We can choose to do something about the way we work, or not. But we have to remember that choice is always ours. I want to read Julie's book! (Sorry Julie I missed your book launch party in the city and that I missed you last night! I hope to see you soon!) A work revolution means changing the way you view work.
