Goodbye to the Work Ethic

In her essay from the late eighties entitled, "Goodbye to the Work Ethic," social critic Barbara Ehrenreich asserts that, yuppies (quite frankly she didnt even explain what yuppies are) work too hard and make everyone else look bad because everyone else doesn't work as hard. She just goes on and complains more about "work ethic" and time periods that maybe work ethic actually came to be. She also talks about motherhood among things that strikes as Work Ethic.

Although I disagree with an overwhelming majority of what Ehrenreich says, i only agree to her final standpoint where everyone should just get there job done, and no one should have to complain about other people not pulling there weight. She just seemed so incredibly disagreeable to me in this essay. Its great to have a good work ethic. Work Ethic puts money in our pockets to put food on the table. I think i just said enough.
