| Abstract | This study aims to analyze the effects of work in the life of auditors and consultants who work in auditing and consulting service provider multinational companies. This exploratory-descriptive qualitative analysis counted on the participation of 12 auditors/consultants who work or had worked in one or more of the four biggest multinational auditing and consulting independent companies, as well known as BIG FOUR. To fulfill such objective, information had been collected through semistructured interviews. Data analysis was achieved based on the pertinent theoretic referential, mainly of the following authors: Bauman. Sennett, Lazzarato and Negri as regards immaterial work and transformations of the world of the work. Harvey, Pelbart, Bauman as regards fears and fragilities of the human being relations. Dejours, Guattari and Rolnik, Pelbart and Bauman as regards subjectivity. The results of this research indicate that: it is not possible detach personal from professional life, and the professional life takes precedence over personal life. Because of that, worker's professional and personal lives are determined by the job's necessity. The company usually establishes when and where the worker shall be, taking away his freedom and his ability to decide where he wants to go. Another consequence of the job description is the absence of the family contact, which was the most frequent answer to the question about distress at work. The wealth demands that the job becomes more important then the family institution and the main consequence of that is that the individual becomes alienated from the family's social contact and from the children development, weakening the family's bond. Another consequence experienced by workers is the feeling that the individual is always “in debt”, which is a result of the continuous demand for perfection. |
