The destruction in this country is across the board: the politics, the transport system, the monetary system, the economy, the social culture including the family itself and the most important - the work ethic and morality of businesses.
People in this country just seem to accept working a 50/60 hour working week, driving two or more hours to work just to be in a stuffy office when they can do their jobs from home. Businesses don’t trust their worker will actually work from home so we are all trapped in this crazy 9-5 rat race. I worked for a FTSE 100 company who promoted working from home and have won awards for remote working. It was a load of cr*ap as they made you go to London twice a week - which was stress.
Why do we do it? to pay a massive mortgage!
Average house prices are now a whopping £200k which means you need to earn at least £60k to get on the ladder! The average salary is £24k - it does not add up! The Government will not allow builders to build enough houses which means it will keep on going up. In ten years my kids will not be able to buy a house unless it is with a lifetime mortgage which means a lifetime of working in the rat race – great for the Government a lifetime of tax and national insurance!
Tesco's is full of packaged/high fat food to cater for the work culture in this country.
I find myself sitting at work thinking "what the hell am I doing here wasting my life away just to pay the mortgage and pick up a pay check; surely there is more to life than this!
Since eating again I am left wondering if the British culture is making us all fat. What do you think?
