Eugene I can direct you to some British studies about employees' views
about their work and how it is intensifying over time causing stress,
burn out etc if that is of any interest.

Dear everybody-
When I was in California, I read in a Russian immigrant newspaper about
an US study, according to which 95% working people in US do not like
their jobs ("zanimayutsya ne lyubimym delom" in Russian). The choice of
words in Russian indicates that these people do their job ONLY out of
necessity to earn money but if they have enough money (e.g., won
lottery) they would stop doing their jobs.
Have anybody heard about such study? If so, can you provide reference,
please?
Thanks,
Eugene
