IDG Contributor Network: Here’s the answer to the Jeb Bush ‘work more’ problem
Jeb Bush thinks you need to work more.
Taken in context, he was actually referring to part-time employees and those who are unemployed, not telling us we need to keep checking our phones at 11 p.m. and wake up at 6 a.m. to the sounds of incoming emails. He wasn’t telling the phone support staff to work 70 hours per week instead of 50 or 60. He wasn’t suggesting that a $100,000-a-year knowledge worker needs to get an extra part-time job, although that is one path to success (if you define success as more car payments). Is he out of touch with the American people? Not sure. That’s an issue for the voters to decide. However, part of me wonders if the opposite of “working more” is true.
