Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

What is the real activity, the real attraction at work?

They sell food at McDonald’s and Pizza Hut. Is food, however, the real point of the place? They sell coffee at Starbucks, but is coffee the real point of the place?

I don’t think food and coffee are the real attractions at those places. There is something else happening there.

Related question: at work, is work the real attraction, the real activity? If not, might it possibly be things like:

• a place to get away from the family
• a place where my friends are
• better screens to look at the Internet
• better bandwidth to look at the Internet

What is the real attraction, the real activity at your location? Is the real attraction the same as the stated attraction? Are we better because sometimes those two things differ?
