“Politikum” on stage: (Don’t) feel like working? With Tijen Onaran and David Gutensohn
"Work is not a pony farm", as Andrea Nahles, head of the German Federal Employment Agency, once put it. In other words, the dream of a four-day week with full pay, a compulsory foosball table and ultra-flexible work-from-home rules eventually comes up against harsh business realities. Are demands for "better work" naive? Or have we sacrificed too much to work in the past? Author and ZEIT editor David Gutensohn is a self-confessed member of "Generation Entitlement". He wants to work, but also believes that work is not everything.
Entrepreneur and investor Tijen Onaran has little use for wishful thinking about “new work” and advocates a desire to perform. This stage edition of the opinion podcast Politikum (WDR 5) showcases opposing viewpoints while exploring the question: What can we agree on?
