Richard Sennett, the author of 'No Long Term: The New Job and the Corrosion of Character', writes that the 'qualities of 'a good job [in the new economy] are not qualities of good morality. Furthermore, he argued that our work affects our character and, ultimately, our prospects for personal fulfillment. Satisfaction affects everything from a person's happiness to family life, which can contribute to motivation and play a major role in an individual's performance and engagement in their job. Sennett's first example is Enrico. Enrico is a typical man trying to live the American dream for his family. Enrico had worked as a janitor and saved money to finance his children's education so they could get closer to the American dream. Enrico knew when, how long and where he was supposed to work. Knowing this, he planned his future for the long term. However, Enrico's son Rico has developed a lackadaisical attitude towards life, which affects his character and work ethic. “He feared that the actions he had to take and the way he had to live to survive in the modern economy had set his emotional and inner life adrift. » (Sennett 310) This type of fear was integrated into his professional history. . Richard Sennett uses “No Long Run” as his motto which means “keep moving, don’t commit or sacrifice.” » (Sennett 314) This saying corrupts the values ​​that should be instilled in human beings, such as loyalty. , respect and trust. According to this saying, being used as a basis in a person's life will reflect a poor choice of character which will translate into different relationships in life, whether personal or work-related. The word character as it is described in “No long term: ...... middle of paper ......ence pointed at me. The operations managers then informed them that two of the colleagues I considered friends had told them these things. “Let’s take the question of commitment and loyalty. “No long term” is a principle that erodes trust, loyalty and mutual commitment. Trust can of course be a purely formal matter, as when people agree to a business deal or rely on another to play by the rules of a game. But deeper experiences of trust are usually more informal, as when people learn who they can count on when given a difficult or impossible task. Such social bonds take time to develop and slowly take root in the cracks and crevices of institutions. (Sennett 313) However, this was not the case because the colleagues who betrayed had actually taken the money. This incident affected my character and I felt like I couldn't trust anyone in the establishment..
