Reflection 2 : TED talk 'why work doesn't happen at work'

According to TED talk ‘why work doesn’t happen at work’ I disagree with the speaker because there are many kind of work in this world. From the example that he mentioned, I think he focused on creative work area. So clearly this kind of work is not suitable for working in the office.

I think the cause that why work doesn’t happen at work is worker in the offices, not the bosses, the managers or the meetings. For me, this problem is happen because employees lack of responsibility. They can work while they are communicating with colleagues or maybe they should finish their tasks before they talk or doing other activities with their colleagues.

For example, I have experienced an internship program in the office for four months. It was work in area of Public Relations and Marketing. I think this kind of work is really fit to work in the office because we have to keep contact and discuss ideas with each other all the times. And yes sometime it was distracted but we can’t avoid this. Communications is important to this kind of work. In the office where I worked everyone can finished their work punctually because they always have meeting. There will be the concept and guideline for the work so everyone known their own jobs.

Let say the M&Ms (the managers and the meetings) is not the real interruption. But repetitiously meetings and grumble managers are.
