Probably I'll tell anyone anything new when I note here that our modern, globalized, "on mobility and flexibility (of course only the employee, not the employer) laid out the world is not exactly family friendly. Already about 15 years ago, so early in my career, I was able to determine with disgust in the in-house newspaper of the Labour Office. At that time this authority was not only an office but was ever so, while it believes to have taken place today so obviously with the name change to "Agency" to step into the modern world completely and therefore the light of changing Realities only puts his hands in his lap. But that's another topic.
dealt in a long article in the rag of the employment office with the mobility and thus, what one should expect in this context of a socially acceptable workers. One could summarize the main message of the text to the following: mobility in the economy, the highest good, and who as a potential employee that does not unconditionally subordinates has himself to blame if he gets a job, and is basically punished for it. This statement was shared by two contrasting examples, which I call here briefly recalled wants.
employees 1 - a negative example - had married in his home town (somewhere in the area of Ostfriesland), put two kids in the world and built a house for his family. One day he lost his job because the company was wegglobalisiert. Because of his "unwillingness" to mobility (ie, either sell the house and move away or split up for most of the year by the family) was the man for the job center does not communicate. This behavior was in the article rather than demonized and in the modern workplace no longer considered viable. Eventually, the man was then purified apparently settled by the Office somewhere in southern Germany and give his family watched from now on only every other weekend at best.
workers 2 - a positive example - also came from somewhere in the north, lived for years in a committed relationship and I actually even before, to marry and to found a family. Become unemployed, he went immediately to the proposal to pursue his career switch to Stuttgart. By the employment office of this mobile behavior was praised to the skies. Somewhere at the very edge of my memory was not mentioned after that its partnership this change of location did not survive because the woman (surely also praised by the employment office) to their existing job in Hamburg could not or would not give up. But perhaps the two yes now found new partners. At least until the next mobility-related move.
The cynicism of these statements of the Office has annoyed me then and bothers me to this day. On the one hand, by politicians of all parties time and again loudly claimed that it would "support the families," because let herself be caught with such platitudes apparently easy votes. On the other hand, the state proclaimed in the form of its offices, that have to be left behind and the family partnership and give up, if necessary, if by the Almighty, "globalized" economy claims predetermined force mobility its priority. To which one should not be surprised that today no one actively participate in working life, would put more children into the world. In such a scenario, the highest academics throw bonus to help anything.
In modern times, yet added that even the maintenance of long-distance relationships probably very soon be no longer compatible with the demands of modern society, since driving a car, and generally any form of private individual transport future, not because of the ongoing climate change more acceptable. (Business course that is something completely different, on the job mobility is of course very great and of course, has priority over the air!) And the former People's Transportation Web can and will do soon anyway, no one. Apart from the fact that one off the three or four prestigious developed main lines of railway hardly anywhere within a reasonable time to get there.
I have recently submitted in the application found at various project proposals from Germany and abroad that it is both cheaper and faster to commute, for example, from the Ruhr area of the working week by plane to London than by train Nuremberg and Munich. But flying is of course also an environmental point of no longer socially acceptable. (At least as long as it is cheap, because of expensive flights, of course, is again the contribution to . Gross national product and the tax revenue more important than the air) This is probably the only socially sanctioned means of keeping in contact with your partner or partner, only the use of media such as telephone or Internet - but it just say nothing "untoward" Finally, we yes to own "security" best monitored!
Consider this scenario even more consistently, then the conclusion from it are only allowed to have in mind that the perfect adaptation of the worker or the worker to the conditions of the globalized economy-working people with no husband or more partnerships. In addition to eliminating the above-mentioned potential limitations mobility resulting from even more benefits to the economy. Those who have no family has to automatically more time and thus can provide more. Above all, such a worker can always plenty of overtime, without that one would have to grapple with the troublesome ballast completely antiquated any regard for children or other relatives.
interpersonal relations are in such a total meritocracy only relevant if they generate measurable value. Conversely, we can maintain existing relationships between the power company only means of generating added value. So, for example, with the already mentioned (of course expensive) trips, or with the course fee-based use more and more high-bred communications - from Internet and video telephony to cybersex suits and transmission of thought, which no longer so far belong to the realm of science fiction, how commonly would have thought until recently.
But now the man to be a tendency not to speak to social contacts and in particular to a Partnership. And as this fact may constitute a not insignificant economic component - just think of the cost of wooing a potential partner or gifts made to maintain this partnership - It's worth it from a purely economic point of view to counter this phenomenon also in the global mobile society in an appropriate manner. The most consistent way to do this would be to get people to transfer the American hire-and-fire mentality to even be on the private life and to constantly change partners.
course should be created for the enforcement of this principle, incentives and appropriate socio-political framework. First of all, the public perception of the priorities of the global life are strictly adapted to the social context. The most important Element and thus the basis is, of course, the optimal exploitation of the labor force in human dar. Starting from this premise, this is initially effective in as close proximity to his workplace to settle. Moreover, with the apartment in as undisputed largest private constant output factor has a significant contribution to the economy. Thus, the factor of home first, and is particularly limited to address before the partnership factor.
today is already observed in modern, highly mobile people, a clear trend to the often relatively short duration to rent their professional positions like fully furnished apartments (of course, significantly higher prices). This is as interesting as practical development of progressive employers could also use to save by setting up special adapted housing either office space or at least ensure the provision of optimal performance through the design of the living conditions of their "Human Resources". For example, this could be minimized unwanted distractions.
course, it would thus also possible to minimize the risk of downtime caused by illness or accidents during sports or other uncontrollable during leisure activities in that it ensures that man out of sheer Not even more convenience to the door is - of course with the exception of the daily journey to work. An economically welcome side effect of such measures would significantly reduce costs for health insurance. Furthermore, by creating uniform standards for value-added optimal living, production costs for furniture, appliances, decor and other fixtures to reduce significantly, while at the same time were the indisputable functional benefits in the public mind, a higher selling price and enforce mainly due to higher rents.
is created this scenario once, can the problem of the partnership to be addressed in the next step. Of course, here are the already mentioned, without taking into account doubts priority circumstances. That in such an optimized cutting of the living environment such as the maintenance of existing before an occupational concept fits into the partnership does not move, expected to be on hand. As previously mentioned, the modern, globalized man concerned is best at each new location for a new partner or new partner.
course, the new partner are fit for home furnishings. Especially if you (like running) fully furnished and always in accordance with value-added optimized, modern apartments for rent. It would indeed be disastrous if, for example, the hair color of the partner with the color of the wallpaper or the leather seats would bite. This could ruin the overall impression of the given apartment and thus lead to a serious disruption of the internal equilibrium of the employee, through his work performance could be permanently impaired. So, observance of certain rules are respected, of course.
doing at this point of reflection on the seemingly legitimate question whether - if you have to renovate the apartment when you move out - would have to renovate the matching partner well with you? The answer it is relatively straightforward: for a dwelling, which relates to less than 2 years, it is generally not subject to renovation. There remain in future, most employment relationships are already less than 2 years are not applicable for an immediate move again after the change to a different project required the renovation of the apartment and of course for a matching selected partner.
If, as a perfect human being globalized so each year job changes, housing and partners, we need therefore to worry about anything. Great, right? Of course, one could ask whether in this context, the above-mentioned value, resulting from the partnership factor is still the same extent would carry, or whether this part of human life would not be worth any more in economic terms. It can not be dismissed out of hand, that various types of previously normal interpersonal benefits in such partnerships should not be longer relevant.
When planning his job change any time reasonably skillful, can you save may be in such a globalized relations even all birthday and Christmas gifts. This would of course be a severe blow to the economy, even by a (possibly artificially amplified) Trend to enhance the future more and more frequent operational inputs and strike celebrations could not be fully compensated. This problem could be necessary to counter by legal rules that allow, for example, the dissolution of an existing partnership after at least a jointly completed Christmas, so as to ensure the economy a commercially reasonable compensation for any losses.
considered by the economic side, this scenario can also add a promising another component that would generate additional value-added result of considerable proportions. If in the future anyway, only half of the population still works (after which we are heading these days already), you can hire out the rest for money as a partner at the time. This would bring additional tax revenue in addition to the considerable relief in finding a partner with them as they would now not more completely unpredictable factors such as sympathy, love or just a random encounter on the street, but depend on tangible economic factors. And the industry partner agencies would also experience an unexpected boost.
Ultimately, one could perhaps also a kind of new bonus system for staff motivation Introduction: The company pays the employee the partner or the partner - performance-based course. Those who continually provides top performance, gets a luxury as a reward partner. Of course, only as long as continue to appropriate services are provided or if the employee is not otherwise unpleasant striking. Should meet the requirements of the company but no longer do justice, can be made available to the partner or the partner of course always be replaced by a simpler model.
Should be introduced at this point, the argument that in a society that would be constructed in such a way that human emotions too short and are stunted man inside itself and would ultimately become isolated completely despite purchased partners, the latter following counter: First, the personal emotions (as opposed to commercially viable mass phenomena such as the enthusiasm for certain sports teams, TV stars and music idols) no significant economic factor, and thus largely irrelevant to modern society.
And as for the isolation, so must the mobile, globalized man just deal with it and understand it as a price for the privilege to earn money with work. Such emotional impact is, of course, the human capital used approvingly take into account and, if necessary, with professional help to deal with either psychologically or medically. Of course, this may be done only with a corresponding financial contribution, the course can be applied only by those whose economic performance potential is large enough to meet the needs of the economy in the long run.
must Failing this, the man just rubbed into the great mass of those that can be purchase on demand of others, for example in the profession the partners paid on time. If he or she is not in this position, he or she is not useful for modern society and has therefore immediately possible socially acceptable even carrying out of life. However, of course, certified environmentally friendly manner and, above all, as discreetly as possible to distress the society does not. Moreover, as no abnormal signs are to be left, and public order sake previously granted an appropriate fee to the responsible government agencies to be paid.
Relevant If anyone should see the above vision of the future as a suitable material for a very dark science fiction movie, I am always willing to lead talks about the film rights. I can this scenario, if necessary any time to expand on film format. All others I recommend the movie Rollerball with James Caan from the year 1975, hereby - quite in contrast to his action-packed, but in terms of social criticism perfectly soft washed remake of 2002 - some effects of globalization as the total dependence on a large has foreshadowed the systematic brainwashing of the people or groups in a frightening way.
