I watched an insightful Video in Ted.com on 'Why do people work?'

Scroll down for Video and Transcript.

People who were paid money gradually lost interest.

People whose work was discarded gave up immediately

Those who were appreciated performed better,

And those who did not for pleasure did well.

Money ,it is observed by the narrator is not a factor at all.

The instances of Adventure Sports like Mountaineering was quoted.

True, those who climb mountains climb despite hazards and payments start all over again for the sheer pleasure of it.

Work From Home ,The Bane, Banned By Yahoo Memo

Work from Home, this Concept, introduced by the IT Industry, is a bane of Work Culture.

What is wrong in working from Home?
You do not get the work ambiance at Home.

People want ambiance to suit their moods, be it a Mall,A Shop or a Theater, they do not mind paying a premium for this!

But why are they reluctant to be at the Office for Work?

The reason given by a relative of mine who works in a giant IT firm is that work from Home saves infrastructure costs,saves Desk Space,cuts down electricity etc!

I do not know this really is the reason.

What I do know is that when one works from Home,

You are not involved in the Work

You do not take care of Family either.

Your work pattern, meals Rhythm, Sleeping pattern become erratic.

You interfere and slow down in the running of Home which you know pretty little, excepting issuing checks.

You become restless and over a period of time become depressed.

This gets heightened if your Spouse has regular working hours.

It is still worse f your spouse also stays Home as too much familiarity breeds contempt.

As the Yahoo CEO put it, one needs to be physically present at the workplace.

Has anybody thought of Home at Work where you run family from Work place, go Home only for Bed!
