[Tabular-Iceberg]

I was admittedly being facetious, but my point is that those who push the "work is for working, not for having fun" line are neither doing the employers nor the employees any favours.

The other side of the coin is that what employers do to try to improve engagement is usually ineffective and often quite demeaning. What Erik Dietrich calls "carnival cash". You just can't fake the sense of producing something useful for the customers and in return getting your fair share of the proceeds.
