The World of Labor
I had made so many efforts to be in graduate school. Indeed, I was so involved in my studies that I had forgotten to make the “most” of this period of youth and be carefree. I’ve lived in hope to have a “job” and be materially independent and useful for my country, which had done a lot for me, including a free education.
However, once at work, (and after having a hard time finding it), armed with a vision of the future and the point of view of a young, dynamic executive, I’ve bumped into an unbelievable world of labor, where any ambition is reduced to nothing. Things that come first in this world are personal interests, (promotions, bonuses, a raise in salary), which each one asserts by using their influences or their physical assets as an advantage.
In fact work, especially that of a bank, which I am dedicated to, reduces your ambition to nothing. Your interests and values, your opinions, and sometimes even you dignity as a human being, are degraded. You are here for accomplishing tasks and complying with bank rules and proceedings.
The fact of being confined to repetitive and already-prepared tasks makes you unable to think deeply and condemns you to adopt superficial reasoning. The worst is that you feel like you are drowning in the stream of people, whose worries are totally different from yours, and whose attitude you adopt without even realizing it, which in turn challenges those principles you trust.
All things considered, working in the financial sector teaches you that you must keep your opinions, your critics, your initiatives, and your creativity. In any case, if you risk or venture to express anything of this nature, you are immediately called to order, and if you demonstrate some resistance, you will be marginalized forever. It’s a no win attitude from leaders of an economic sector, which is a source of all the actual pains and difficulties of the economic world.
So, first we live in hope of working, (exit and outcome of studies), and are confident we will carry out what we have learned and what we have been taught. Then we are confronted with a bitter reality, which fills you with disillusion and hopelessness. Finally you feel that you’re suffering a defeat of not being able to “blossom” and be “happy” in your job, which is taking over life and the majority of your time.
Nonetheless, this failure is only relative, because working for a Moroccan woman is already a great success and victory, for by doing so she has gained material independence and modest liberation from the guardianship of Moroccan men.
