The article doesn’t really provide an answer but just some random thoughts and facts as of this point in time.  However, it at least points out with some statistics showing that our perception of a tougher work life nowadays is real.  Previously, I was still wondering would it be simply selective memory (the old days in the 90’s are always better) that made us feel this way.  There was also a possibility that in the younger days, we were working in less important positions and thus less pressure.

Anyway, looking forward, hope that the brave new world will come soon.  Nothing can be worse than what we face today so any change will be a good change.  Or perhaps I am still too naive - "nothing could be worse" was also the prevailing thought before the Vietnam War and thus we did go for a war.  It turned out to be - Yes, it can be worse, in fact, very much worse than we could have ever imagined…

Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
