As employees we aren't just workers. 1984 - nightmare vision of capitalism taken to extreme. Workers, proles just there to work. Christian view of employment sees people as far more than just workers. But the Bible says that whatever our employers are like we should work with all our heart.
Some work seems to be mindless and soulless.
Whatever work you do, some parts of it can seem to have little value. But God says even if the task is trivial, the person carrying out the task is not - every task can be turned into an act of worship, not motivated by earthly reward. Mary Poppins says that every task you undertake can become a piece of cake when you make it fun, but God says every task can become precious, worthwhile, of great significance, when we do it as to the Lord. Employee must work conscientiously - faith not an escape from hard work. Christian student should do his or her work to the best of their ability, because that honours God, not just getting by with what is necessary.
