Google co-founder Larry Page has said people shouldn't work as much as they do - because there is really no need, The Daily Mail reported.
“If you really think about the things you need to make yourself happy - housing, security, opportunity for your kids - it's not that hard for us to provide those things,” he said in the TV interview last week.
He also mentioned that the true reason people make themselves work too much is the need to needed and wanted.
“I think there's a problem that we don't recognize,” he continued. “There's a social problem”.
He also said the way out could be working far less, or splitting loaded jobs between other people.
Using the example of the head of Virgin Group, Richard Branson’s, Page said: “He's been trying to get people to hire two part-time people instead of one full-time, so at least the young people can have a half-time job rather than no job.”
Page became CEO of Google in March 2011. From then, he has reorganized the company so that it could run without unnecessary bureaucracy. Moreover, Page closed a number of unpromising projects at Google, thus optimizing the company’s costs. He also took several ambitious steps, such as launching Google+, buying Motorola Mobility and starting off Google Glass, a wearable computer that responds to touch and voice commands.
