I think it used to be more common (not universal) for workers to see work as ‘showtime’ a place and time where a man showed who he was, home was where you kicked off your shoes and took off your tie or work shirt, but the factory or the office or construction site was where you were competing in the world, where you thrived and let yourself be known and earned your reputation among your group.
earned your reputation
I think you hit the nail on the head
another price we pay for Shame no longer governing our culture
