Yes, thank you!

Why should I feel grateful for having a choice between unemployment and a job that makes me sick to my stomach?

The most annoying thing is the fools saying ‘at least you have a job’. That’s a DIFFERENT POINT isn’t it you IDIOTS. They are not saying they are not thankful they HAVE a job, it’s that they are possibly feeling crushed about how boring or meaningless it is.

I can’t love my job. I am educated and I work hard, but am forced to work in housekeeping. The only thing I can do is use my hate as motivation to find a better job asap.

Right now, despite being housed in a temporary location, despite the air conditioning being broken, despite where we are being a 3rd of the size of our old office, despite the recession, I LOVE my job.

I don’t always, of course. No one can love their job all the time. But I am extremely grateful just to have one, let alone one I actively enjoy and appreciate.

I disagree with most of you. I really hate my job and I cannot change the way I feel about it even in the recession try as I may. People tell me “at least you have a job”. I know I am lucky but it does not make me feel any better about going in every morning and doing pointless work that makes me want to shoot myself. Sometimes I wish I was laid off so I have an excuse to try something else. I am always thinking of plans to escape this mon-fri routine hell. When I do have a feasible plan, I will be getting out of my job ASAP!

Ning, I’ve heard a hilarious news, where a woman Facebook user has been scolding her boss through the Facebook. She forgot that she’d already added her boss as one of her best friends! Well, I don’t need to tell you the end of the story…

The lesson that I learned from the story: No matter how irritating your boss is, try to be friend with him/her, instead of becoming an enemy!

Yes of course you are right as its about what motivates us as individuals, or… extrinsic (external) or intrinsic motivation (like to do it for the satisfaction of an interesting task well done) or again as it is sometimes put the balance between our , Achievement, Power & Affiliation needs or wants.

While having more power works for some, it won’t work for everyone. There are people that simply don’t like more responsibilities and/or money.

Perhaps it’s a lack of confidence, but I’ve met (and supervised) countless people that always told me the last thing they wanted is a promotion. Those people just don’t want to be bothered and the best thing you can do is to leave them alone.
