Richard Sennett, the author of “No Long Term: New Work and The Corrosion of Character,” writes that the “qualities of good work [in new economy] are not the qualities of a good character. Furthermore, he argued that our work influences our character and, ultimately, our prospects for personal fulfillment. Satisfaction influences everything from a person's happiness to family life, which can contribute to motivation and play an important role in an individual's performance and engagement in their work. Sennett's first example of a person is Henry. Enrico is a typical man who is trying to live the American dream for his family. Enrico had worked as a janitor and had saved money to go towards his children's education so they could get closer to the American dream. Enrico knew when, how much and where he had to work. Knowing this, he planned his long-term future. However, Enrico's son Rico has developed a casual attitude towards "not long-term" life that affects his character and work ethic. “He feared that the actions he had to take and the way he had to live to survive in the modern economy had set his emotional and inner life adrift.” (Sennett 310) This type of fear was incorporated into his work history. Richard Sennett uses "No Long Term" as a motto meaning "keep moving, don't commit and don't sacrifice." (Sennett 314) This saying corrodes the values ​​that should be instilled in human beings such as loyalty. , respect and trust. With this being said, being used as a basis in a person's life will reflect a bad choice of character which results in different relationships in life, be they personal or work related. The word character as described in "No Long Term: ...... middle of the paper ...... ence pointed to me. Those responsible for the operation then informed them that two colleagues who I considered friends had told them these things. “Let's take the issue of commitment and loyalty. The “no long term” is a principle that undermines trust, loyalty and mutual trust can, of course, be a purely formal issue, as when the people accept a business agreement or rely on another to comply with the rules of one But deeper experiences of trust are usually more informal, as when people learn who they can rely on when given a difficult or impossible task. Such social bonds take time to develop, slowly taking root in the cracks and crevices of the institutions.” (Sennett 313) However, this was not the case because the colleagues who had betrayed had actually taken the money. This incident affected my character and I felt like I couldn't trust anyone in the establishment.
