Emotions Vs Economics

I was sitting in the visitor's waiting hall of a popular travel agency for getting tickets to my first international trip. I heard the telephone operator telling a colleague of hers about the health condition of her child. The child was just 7 years and had high fever but both husband and wife had to come to office since their managers did not give them leave. It provoked my thought on what we working for Money or satisfaction?

At 42, the SAP INDIA Chief dies of heart attack and this is another incident which shook me. The man had enough money and he was the chief and he could decide his own schedule but why did he die at a such young age. Work Pressure? Too much of travel and hectic schedule?

Where are the values? Are corporates becoming more ruthless? Do companies lack the skill to deal with emotions. Do not give me examples of bigger corporations who might have a creche and also you can bring in your child when they are not well. I am talking about the companies where the majority of india works or where the Middle class works

We need to bring in strong morals and labour laws and until we do this the fight of Economics vs Emotions will continue
