Over 60% employees ready to quit work: survey

If you thought a job is something people are dying to hold on to when the going in the market is tough, you couldn"t be more wrong as a survey has found that more than half are ready to quit work, switch professions or take a break. Sensex ends up 35pts The survey was conducted on 745 private sector employees between November and December 2009. The survey found that high competition at work place lead employees towards extreme job conditions, but they are gradually realising the need for family life. There is a crying need for work-life balance measures. Hyper competition has meant all the stops are being pulled out for customer service, which leads to extreme jobs. There is a renewed awareness and interest in personal life, the survey said. "In a society filled with conflicting responsibilities and commitments, work-life balance has become a predominant issue in the workplace," Avtar Career Creators Founder-President Saundarya Rajesh said. According to the findings from the survey as many as 40 respondents felt that internal issues of the company are responsible for unhealthy work life balance and an equal number said they know people who took a break or resigned last year due to their responsibilities at home. The survey was done across seven cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune across varied sector, including FMCG, IT, ITES, consulting and telecom,. According to the survey, while 38 per cent of the respondents blamed the location of the work-spot for bad work-life balance, 44 per cent believed a balanced life would give them time to study or train further. "Companies with good work-life balance initiatives have an edge in attracting fresh talent as the economy gets back on the growth path," Outlook Business Editor M Anand said.

V V: Correcting the fault lines of capitalism
In the long run,” John Maynard Keynes had famously said, “we are all dead.” Keynes may not have been quite dead, but he had lived a ghostly half-life in the corridors of central banks and within the academia for decades. Now with the failures of unbridled capitalism on a global scale, he is back in fashion, along with Marx. John Cassidy, the finance correspondent for the New Yorker has come with How Markets Fail: The Logic of Economic Calamities (Allen Lane/Penguin £25), which draws heavily on Keynes to recount the story of America’s housing boom and the failures of regulators and self-deception of bankers that led to the present financial crisis. The book is a sequel to Cassidy’s earlier book DotCon that dealt with the stupidities of the stock market bubble in the late 1990s, but both deal with one central idea: the belief that society is best served when individuals are left free to pursue their self-interest was “Utopian economics” and led to disaster because of “the crooked timber of humanity”, and the uncertainty that is inherent in any human enterprise.
