Lifestyle Creep - Lady Chatterley Got Over That and More
The Netflix adaptation of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" carries myriad memes of liberation.
The obvious ones are freedom from circumscribed sexual mores and upper class' lack of social justice.
But in this time when those big jobs on Wall Street are being lost and even the survivors feel they can't take the stress any more, there is a major one about lifestyle creep.
Constance Chatterley surrenders the infrastructure and goodies of an aristocratic life. She closes that door (sort of like Nora's slamming the door in "A Doll House") so that a new one will open. Constance uses her love of gamekeeper Oliver as the platform to step into a world of equality among the sexes and compassion for one's fellow man.
Terminations by the giantic financial firms have already been going on in 2022. Because that industry changes rapidly too many of those let go will not be able to make it back in. The high-paying jobs, which as the accelerant on lifestyle creep, won't be available to them. In 2023, the ax will keep swinging. Goldman Sachs indicates that will be set in motion right after the holidays.
Clearly those forced out will probably have to learn to live on less. In addition, there are those on professional social networks who continue to bellow in pain like wounded animals in the jungle how they can not endure the pressures of Wall Street.
The issue for both categories is: Can they, like Constance, see what is so wonderous in shifting down from what others might view as an eviable lifestyle? Or, will they struggle to hang on to the supposed good life?
