Consequences of Work

DISCRIMINATION (but not the type of discrimination that the women is talking about in the picture) and SEXUAL HARASSMENT ("all the other women are suing you for sexual harassment)

SLAVERY and CHILD TRAFFICKING

Employer and Employee

The power of the employer, equals the power of all the employees. This shows how much power the 'boss' have in his/HER hands. Thus as shown in the second picture, the employer sometimes ask the impossible from the employee (Can you do more work then is humanly possible?)

I found this picture interesting because it shows THE EVOLUTION OF WORK LIFE:

1900: Work

1950: Work-life separation

1970: Work spills into life

1980: Work- life balance

2000: Life spills into work

2010: Work-life blending

2050: Life :)
