most workers spend eight or nine hours on the job.They work because it is unavoidable. They need to make enough money for necessities:Food,rent,clothing,transportation,tuition,and so on.They spend about one-third of their lives at work, but they hate it.They complain and count the minutes until quitting time each day-or the days until their next vacation.The situation is even worse for white-collar workers in powerful positions.In many companies,they often put in over sixty hours a week and don't take vacation at all.To keep their jobs or get ahead,they have to put in "face time"-to stay late at the office just to make sure the boss knows they are there.
