Mid Week At Work: Everywhere is nowhere?


1920s vintage motivational work poster, in an era when this genera was at its height.   This is one of those posters which is likely completely out of sink with the era that is coming into the workplace now, and which seems quite comfortable with the idea of rapidly switching employers.

Odd to see the use of a prospector as the boogeyman here. Generally, they're sort of an admired historical class.  Most didn't make it big, of course, or anywhere near big. Some did, however, and in a way they were sort of the entrepreneurs of their era, which likewise tend to fail more often than they succeed.
