Blue collar vs White collar camaradrie
I have noticed that there is a lot more fun and talk among blue collar workmen than professionals or white collars working together. Workmen joke around more, the are free with each other, they laugh more and give an appearance that they are having fun together. I usually see them climbing the train together, there is a lot more swapping of stories, fun stories, jokes on each other and they just seem to be enjoying each others company. Its almost like school, I remember the carefree laughter among friends while we were pulling someones leg or generally swapping jokes.
This is in stark contrast to the so called professionals or rather the white collared professionals. Its not that they dont have fun together. They go out the ball games, or play pool or whirley ball, good dinner, workout together etc but that care free laughter is missing. Seldom is there good natured bantering, and very rare is that laughter, that care free laughter.
Maybe white collars have a more sense of competition with each other, a sense that its one against another in a dog eat dog world. Thats the essesntial deterrent for carefree conversation. Ofcourse there is aways a boss watching in the neighbourhood, which strictens the atmosphere. There is also the stick the nose up, we are proffesionals aspect, sitting down together and having a happy conversation is an unknown here.
we spent 1/3 of our day at work/school, assuming we sleep for another 1/3 we spend 1/2 our living day at work/school. If we are not happy for that 1/2, life becomes a bore, for all we say about work being a satisfaction in itself, carreer, succes, reward, money etc one needs to have a fun work atmosphere to be able to bear it. The best work places have a casual atmosphere among the people there, they are happy together, they dont just work and go home, they share life with each other, consider this, we spend more time with our fellow employees than our parents or relatives, lets hope they are a good bunch.
