TRANSCRIPT Interviewer: In the studio tonight, I have the sociologist John Farrendale and philosopher, Lois Granger and we're going to be discussing attitudes towards work. Tonight's discussion was prompted by an email from a listener who, amongst other things, asks why people tend to become depressed if made redundant - as if work were the be all and end all - rather than seeing that situation as an opportunity to do something else. John? John: Well, it can't be denied. I'm afraid, that unemployment is one of those misfortunes, like soured relationships and chronic pain, that most affect long-term happiness (1). Work is good because it gives people meaning, self-respect and the chance to make a contribution; unemployment conversely robs them of all that, which can come as a blow. So while I don't doubt, as our listener suggests, that there are people out there who might cope well with redundancy - see it as a chance to change direction or whatever - for the majority the opposite is the case (1). I mean, that's the reality, isn't it, Lois? Lois: Well, one rarely meets anyone embracing redundancy, John (1). But I guess what our listener is getting at is the fact that paid employment isn't the sole provider of purpose, self-worth and engagement and I'd go along with that to an extent. (2) Indeed, a job can work against us if the experience is tedious and it feels irrelevant. Work is vital to your happiness if work is what you want and if it's fulfilling. But we mustn't forget that tying too close a knot between meaningful activity and paid employment can be perilous, as we know from people who lose all sense of meaning when they retire. And this can affect those who love their jobs just as much as those who see them as a means to an end. John: And indeed, there are people like that - who view work simply as that, a way of funding other things they want, as opposed to something that holds intrinsic value. Doing a well-paid job that lacks excitement but one which allows you to do exciting things in your spare time, might work perfectly well for some - and I'd say good luck to them as long as they get on with the job whilst they're there. Where's the harm in it? (3) But I'd say it's preferable to earn less doing something you love, because work actually takes up an awful lot of your waking life. But if you want the good things in life and haven't found the kind of meaningful work that can provide them directly, then you have some thinking to do: the trade-offs are treacherous, and some of what You value may have to be sacrificed along the way.
3 Interviewer: You mention attitudes to work, John. We do tend to come down heavily on slackers, people who don’t pull their weight, don’t we? John: We do. And amongst the many career options we have to choose from, one is almost taboo. As the listener who suggested this week's topic put it, someone tempted to work as little as possible is likely to be 'afraid of being judged as a useless slacker'. This taboo seems to have grown as our work options have multiplied. (4) Now work is no longer destiny, determined at birth by the social standing of your parents; how we earn a living reflects more of our individual qualities and choices, and we're judged accordingly. But perhaps these judgments are distorted by confusing sound reasons for thinking work is important with the false belief that honest labour is inherently virtuous. Lois: That's right. I mean think of Freud, the famous psychoanalyst, who's widely attributed with the quote: 'Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.' - although it's actually a paraphrase by Erikson. What Freud actually said is that 'the compulsion to work' was 'created by external necessity'. In other words, the imperative to work springs from practical demands, not immutable psychic needs. (5) There's nothing valuable in work per se. Indeed, the philosopher Bertrand Russell went so far as to claim that immense harm is caused by the belief that work is virtuous - that if we work more than we need to, we deprive ourselves of the time and opportunity for learning, self-development, relationships and many other things that make for a better world. If we must work, or choose to do so, what matters is that it serves the goal of living well, rather than detracts from it. Interviewer: At that point, I'd like to bring in ...... Part 2: For questions 6 – 10, listen to a radio programme and decide whether the following statements are True (T), False (F), or Not Given (NG) according to what you here. Write your answers on the answer sheet. 6. NBA games can take place on holidays including Thanksgiving day and Christmas Eve. F 7. The decision to cancel NBA games on election day was unprecedented. T 8. The pandemic in 2020 adversely affected the career of NBA players. NG 9. The NBA has taken steps to get involved in voter turnout before. T 10. On the day before Election Day, almost all the league’s teams will play to promote civic engagement. F TRANSCRIPT LEILA FADEL, HOST: NBA players are used to playing on holidays. Except for Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve, you can pretty much count on catching a game (6), even when many of us have the day off. But there is a new day this season when no NBA games will be played. NPR's Deepa Shivaram tells us about it. DEEPA SHIVARAM, BYLINE: November 8 is Election Day, and for the first time in NBA history, no
4 games will be scheduled. (7) It's part of an effort to encourage fans, staff and players to get out and vote in the midterms. KATHY BEHRENS: In the past, we've played anywhere from, you know, four to eight games. And so this will keep our teams free to make sure that they're doing their civic duty. SHIVARAM: That's Kathy Behrens, the NBA's president of Social Responsibility & Player Programs. She says that during the pandemic in 2020 and after the murder of George Floyd, there was a push within the NBA to do more around civic engagement. BEHRENS: Our view has always been anything that makes it easy for people to vote, easier for people to vote, should be encouraged. Hopefully, you know, now that people won't be tuning into NBA games on election night, that gets more people out to vote. SHIVARAM: This isn't the first time the NBA has gotten involved with turning out the vote. In 2020 (9), some NBA players walked out after a police officer shot Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis. As part of their response, the NBA agreed to allow more than a dozen of their arenas to be used as polling locations and voter registration sites. (9) And they started talking about what to do on future election days. BEHRENS: In talking to our players, one of the things that they said was we've got to remind people that the power is at the polls. SHIVARAM: There are still games to watch for, though. The night before Election Day, all 30 NBA teams will play. (10) That's rare. And the league says it'll be a final call to get their fans to vote across the entire country. And teams will be sending out more information on how to vote in their states in the coming months. Deepa Shivaram, NPR News.
