ROWE"Working at home has become acceptable--in fact, fashionable--just in the last few years. Many people dream of not having to fight traffic or play office politics but instead staying home and doing their work on a computer." (p. 179) unemployment"You are never unemployed unless you accept the idea that you are. The word unemployed has become synonymous with unwanted, undesirable, or incompetent. We have dozens of words that describe allowable states of being out of work. There's sick, disabled, retired, on vacation, taking some time off, on leave, going back to school, or on sabbatical. Unemployed is one of the few words that carries connotations of failure, incompetence, or laziness. So avoid it like the plague, and emphasize some positive words." (p. 191) |
