Trabajar: Eso que hacemos todo el día

This docu series is filmed to make you feel like you are actually present with the people in it. You don't just see the people's workspace, but also their home life and other struggles they may face. I loved that they focused on just a handful of companies and actually talked about the different wealth classes within those companies.

It's divided into 4 different wealth classes, starting from the lowest income to the highest.

Depending on where you personally are within these 4 classes, it's going to make you feel a certain way. To me, it felt very eye opening and a little more aware of what's going on in the world and how people spend their days.

I think everyone should watch this! Definitely worth it.

This documentary shows insight in the lives of people from all walks of life. It makes you appreciate what you have and/or motivates you to go where you want to go.

Great discussions about work then, now, and in the future. The documentary does not provide all the answers, but gives all of us a lot to think about.

Barack and Michelle Obama have found a great meaning to their lives, and sure are not done yet even after leaving the White House. The fears shared by Obama are fears many of us have.

Without going into too much details I highly recommend watching this docu serie. They try to keep it light while touching heavy subjects. I think they did a great job.

I found this mini-series interesting and informative. I'm always impressed with Pres. Obama's ability to relate to anyone with whom he speaks and I really enjoyed watching him interact with the different workers. My only negative is the repetitive display of management leading staff meetings with a Christian prayer. This practice should be discouraged, not encouraged or highlighted. It is completely inappropriate and unacceptable for a leader in the workplace to subject their subordinates to their own religion. It goes against the principles of our country and the intention of the United States' Constitution. I'm grateful to have never experienced similar circumstances in my career.

Loved the series, all of its episodes. Obama, who held one of the highest offices in the world and touched so many lives, narrates it perfectly in his deep voice.

To see what people do, go through and think about work at different levels from the so-called "low-paying" jobs to being the bosses, is enlightening. You don't seem to appreciate enough at times what people at the bottom go through physically and emotionally doing what they do and earn low pay. It gives you a great perspective and lots of knowledge definitely with insight on different jobs.

The 4 episode series covers jobs across different levels in services, hospitality and home care industry. No matter what you do now, you would be able to connect with each of the individuals and if not, you would definitely get cognisant of what different people at different positions do whether below or above yours, or in your community.

It doesn't just cover their roles, and responsibilities but shows what the job means for the individuals at each of this level. When you are at the bottom, the job is typically just a means for you to survive. It may not be what you wanted to do or like doing, but you do it to pay your bills and provide for your family. Sometimes you may have to do 2 or 3 of these jobs to meet your expenses.

As you go up, you earn more and can satisfy most of your needs and then it starts becoming about your job satisfaction, aspirations and recognitions. You don't have to worry about your bills now, and you start thinking, are you making an impact or are you being recognized enough? And when you are the ultimate boss in the chain, you have to carry the aspirations of people that work for you, and of the community at large.

The series also highlights the increasing gap between the earnings of the top jobs and the low-paying service jobs. While the pay at the top and that of the "knowledge workers" has been increasing and the bosses' salary can run into millions of dollars, the pay at the bottom hasn't increased much. The price of real estate, education, and healthcare has increased tremendously and is unsustainable for a large fraction of the population.

While AI and automation can claim to make many redundant or low-end jobs obsolete, we will still need people doing some of these services. It is important to realise everyone's effort and aspirations and somehow bridge the gap of the opportunity they lack to make the society inclusive and a better place.

This documentary failed the expectation.

It just picked several typical daily stories from three different classes: the poor people, the middle class people, and the rich people.

For rich people, it is never the luxurious or delicate lifestyle, neither that healthy morning vegetable drink for that Indian rich boss in the episode 4, it's their minds that make such differences.

Why poor people are keeping poor from generation to generation, and why rich people are getting rich and rich? That's what a high quality documentary should be think and dig. Not some life examples of people this show is presenting .

President Obama should think deeper, and think wider, like he said: his is worried about the next generation.
