1:05 am
who was able to become one of the most powerful people in the field of technology within two decades. now he was standing in front of the stanford graduates to tell them about his life course. jobs started his speech with three stories. although it was later revealed that the text of his speech of was written with the help of someone else. everyone was impressed. that day. the text of the speech was simple. jobbs told his life story, the story of co-founding apple and the hardships he endered along the way. he constantly used second person pronouns. he directly addressed the audience at the ceremony so that his words were intimate and tangible. these language arrangements were used to encourage stanford graduates. work.
1:06 am
jobs talked about work and pleasure. he said, find something you like. he emphasized that finding a job is like finding life partner, and true satisfaction means having interest in your job. he said all these things to reach an important sentence. it was easy for jobs to say this sentence, but it seemed a little strange for. audience to hear it, some of them wanted to know more about its meaning. i'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that i loved what i did. you've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. if you haven't found it yet, keep looking and... don't settle, as
1:07 am
with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great of relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on, so keep looking, don't settle. like webber, maslo said that human motivations for work cannot be limited to financial issues only. he emphasized that the main goal of human being to work is satisfy these needs and top of that, the fifth level need, that is self-actualization. the importance of muslow's theory lies in the detailed description of the work process, a process that could be useful for company owners, governments and other theorists. very soon, this theory permeated the business environment and caused the traditional ways of dealing with employees to change. now,
1:08 am
satisfying employees and encouraging them to work better was not related to salary increase. of course, the change in the business environment was not only a change in attitude, now more things needed to be changed, things like the physical working environment. to realize this goal, the presence of architects was needed. architects who can design suitable environment with new changes. the traditional offices were full of walls, everyone was. marked in a corner to be busy with their work. the presence of windows was not very important, and the amenities of the environment were not considered a priority, but the new architects had new ideas to change this situation. the new way
1:09 am
of working required to review the traditional processes in the workplace. gradually, open plants showed up in the design of office buildings. the walls were removed and replaced by large windows, the ceilings became higher and the allocated space for each person increased. on the other hand, light was an important element for an office. the design of windows became important and a fundamental revolution took place in the interior architecture of office buildings. office furniture was designed. first the pager entered the market and then it was the turn of personal computers, the internet and email. an employee might work eight hours a day, but pager or email could always make him
1:10 am
available to his employer. a little later, when internet communication spread, the situation became even weirder, now the age of smartphones had arrived. the age of watching a small luminous screeen day and night. with smartphones, employees were closer to their work environments than before. working hours were constantly distorted. completing an administrative task could happen on the couch in the middle of the night or even behind the steering wheel in the early hours of the morning. one of the most famous new workplaces is is definitely google, huge, strange and big company, a company that everyone wants to be a part of. attractive and captivating photos of this company's environment are important content for news and advertising websites. everyone admires
1:11 am
its architecture. the benefits of working at google are something like a dream, issues that make google employees more dependent. on their jobs, the employees of this company fight tooth and nail to maintain their job, employees like amy needfeld who have spent most of their working life getting along with google. yeah, when i was, so i started coding when i was 18, um, and i was a freshman in college, um, and i saw around me at harvard these amazing... young older people um, many of whom werening places google and facebook um and i just you know did not think it was going to be possible for me to get a job like that um and it was felt like such a far off dream. a recent article by emmy needfeld in
1:12 am
the new york times shed light on the dark sides of google. in that article nietfelt wrote completely how she entered google. how she worked there and how she reached the end the road. of course, this was not all the article. needfelt wrote how she became addicted to working at google. how her dependence on google separated her from the outside world and how this dependence prevented her from speaking out about sexual harassment. of course, when she decided to break her silence, something worse happened. needfelt repeatedly went to the office of google's senior executives to tell about the sexual harassment of her superior. senior managers denied at first, but then was their turn to make promises. in response to follow-ups, they told her that the wrong-doer
1:13 am
has been punished or is on the verge of being punished, but this was not true. the wrongdoer was soon promoted and needfelt salary and benefits were queerly reduced. the end of her work and google was bitter. needfell didn't understand why the company she always wanted to work for won't listen. to her, long vacations did not solve any problem until it was time to resign. she told her friends that google was not where she thought it would be. google had changed nitfeld's ideal perception of working, a perception that countless women like hair still have. businesses add fuel to this perception by repeating the same slogan. in their opinion, working is only defined by enjoyment, that's why employers don't pay to hire some new employees. this process, which
1:14 am
we now have to call internship industry, is the driving engine of huge number of companies. in short, they don't give anything but social status to the interns. in some cases, internships in these companies are conferned to individuals by auction and lottery. an exhausting but unpaid work whose justification is only enjoyment. hershell, we heard the terrible news. yeah, what happened? i was shut down by evil woman. they tell me i have to bring things up to code. i do not know how to do this all by myself. you could scale up the business, right? maybe hire some workers, cannot afford the workers. you can get interns. yeah. yeah, they're unpaid
1:15 am
workers, unpaid waters, right? you compensate them in education and experience, like slife? no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not what i mean, that's a little bit of an oversimplification, now listen, you run, yes. the fashion, media and art industies are among the industries that have the most unpaid interns. if you talk to one of these interns, you won't hear any complaints. he's satisfied. with the unpaid exhausting work because he imagines that he's doing something
1:16 am
he has always wanted to do. statistics show that a significant part of these unpaid or low income interns are women. abundant and cheap labor who are exploited with the illusion of enjoying work. in fact, the new way of working has negative impact on women more than exploiting men, women who remain in their jobs with low wages, unpaid wages or under difficult conditions and do not find a chance to complain. good afternoon, touch financial human rights watch, good afternoon or wild life fun, hi there, um, i was just
1:17 am
calling about an internship which i saw online, i'm an intern myself, oh you're inten, yes and so i can tell you that you have lot of responsibilities, and what's the what's the pay? oh uh, they are all um unpaid, will they help with food or accommodation or? transport? no, unfortunately now. okay, nothing at all, no. okay, okay. the slogan do the work you love has taken root in american universities, especially the doctoral level. ph.d. students are willing sacrifice their salary for their interest in research and scientific activity.
1:18 am
in fact, with the lowest salary, they spend the most time and the most intellectual power to. conduct a research. on the other hand, organizational jobs in the university have the same situation. about 40% of american professors are assistant professors, people who are willing to take a job in the university without job security and without high salary. the only motivation for them is satisfy their needs. they consider their identity dependent academic work. they have been indoctrinated that talking about money in the university is to reduce scientific knowledge. this is why a large population of academics are being exploited. their wages may be less than that of a simple warker, but the prevailing atmosphere has made no one think of protesting. they have been convinced
1:19 am
for years that they're doing what they love. the theme of steve jobs speech was the same. he wanted to instill the same slogan to the students and say that only enjoying the work is important and nothing else. of course, this approach may seem logical, but his working life tells us something else. the ceo of apple was not limited to his impressive speaches and simple clothes. he was an employer and had many employees of different nationalities. it seems unlikely that he would have been able to talk to an apple product assembly worker who lived in beijing and with the cleaners to cleaned his office or even the guards, secretaries, engineers and designers. did these employees have the
1:20 am
same opinion about the relationship between work? pleasure as their boss. the truth is that jobs's statement is only true about himself. if these employees were to do what they love, would they choose to work at apple? the ceo of apple only cared about himself. the pleasure he got from his job was achieved by the dissatisfaction of some of his employees. at least some of his employees had come to this. company not for pleasure, but for making a living. invisible people who did not get job's intended pleasure from their job, but their absence could change many things. their absence could lead to a crisis or even negatively affect the progress their boss. if they had followed the advice
1:21 am
of steve jobs, maybe apple would have gone bankrupt. within a day or would not have reached the formation stage at all. what happens if an employee does not realize that he or she is working, it is better to ask who will benefit if he or she always enjoys working and works more and more. jobs tells us that if this happens, the employee will benefit, but this is not the case. enjoying work is useful, but when it becomes a frequent slogan, one should doubt it. enjoying work and working with pleasure is more hoax, hoax to advance the capitalist economy and hide the grueling nature of work, solution to hide the exploitation mechanism
