Work, money, ideals, interests, longterm development ... Every day you can read about globalization, jobless crisis, the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer etc. It seems to be all about money. At the same time, some conservative business people try to remind us of the days shortly after WW2. In Germany, this was the era of "social capitalism" (soziale Marktwirktschaft), and those conservatives point out that there is more to business than just money, and that most people nowadays seem to have forgotten about it. There was a long-term relationship between employers and employees. You wouldn't just leave your job because someone else offered you a few bucks more. And also, as an employer, you wouldn't just fire any employee just because times were hard or to make more surplus even if there is no need to fire anybody. If you have a job that you think you could continue for years, being quite happy, developing your skills at work, while earning enough money for yourself, your family, for some pension insurance, that's a very good thing. That's a wonderful job! Why should you quit? Don't quit!
