People do want to work. The problem, according to sociologist Dr. Tracy Brower, is that many think of working conditions as primary drivers of wellbeing and engagement, but the work itself also matters.

In her opinion, employers should design positions so that the responsibilities would include more elements than the ones which detract from satisfaction.

"If working with customers or repetitive tasks are hallmarks of the work, consider how the responsibilities could be rotated with other employees so no job is overwhelmed by these characteristics," Brower explained. "In addition, ensure workloads are realistic, and ensure safety processes are followed without exception."

Note to management: Employees never merely threaten they'll quit in these situations. Before you ignore a threat or make a threat yourself, be prepared for that employee to separate.

In addition to the content of the work and what gets done, Brower highlighted that how work gets done is critical to wellbeing too.

"For decades, work-life research has demonstrated when people have more control over when and how they work, their satisfaction, engagement, retention, and effort are positively impacted."

"While it's not possible to provide flexibility or choices in work hours for many jobs, wise employers will provide as much control as possible for as many jobs as possible," the sociologist said.

Indeed, a recent study from McKinsey & Company demonstrates that people value having more breaks (56%), the ability to take time off (88%), the choice to work specific days or hours (78% and 79% respectively), and the option to work remotely (51%).

Offering these kinds of choices may offer the greatest returns in employees' satisfaction and retention.

You're Still Coming In Right?

Not me. On my way home and saw this truck in the ditch. I pulled over to see if he needed help but he was already gone.

But there was another guy in the parking lot talking to his boss on the phone. He had sent him the same picture telling his boss he didn't feel safe. We talked a bit after he got off the phone. His boss was pissed that he asked to go back home.

Young kid probably 19-20. I told him minimum wage wasn't worth it. Go home look for something better.

These supervisors, managers, companies don't understand or don't give a f**k. Ridiculous.

My Boss Sent Me This Text After Asking To Be Paid

i (21M) work in a very small bakery in upstate NY. my boss (52F) is the owner of the bakery. i get paid under the table in cash. we work alone together a lot of the time, and so we have opened up to each other about a lot of things. when i opened up to her about my family’s financial situation, it was because i trusted her. i did not do so for pity, nor did i expect to have it used against me. lately she has been paying me late, and so occasionally i’ll ask if she’s done payroll bc i need to get food. yesterday she replied with this. i’m speechless.

If you don't have enough money saved up to cover your employees working during slow times how is your business going to survive? I pay people no matter what. If I had to make a choice to pay my employees or the bank I know who I would pick and I run my own small business with employees.

Of course, solid pay and meaningful benefits also matter.

"It should go without saying, but especially with high inflation and increasing healthcare costs, [these two things] are high priorities for people, and they are associated with a sense of wellbeing with their work," Brower said.

A study from MyPerfectResume discovered the following would detract from employees’ satisfaction: lack of health insurance (21%), lack of paid time off, and lack of retirement plans (16% each).

In addition, the study found low earnings would detract from satisfaction for 42% of respondents, and in the McKinsey study, compensation ranked eighth as a reason people would leave their position.

Text I Received From My Boss While Sick In Bed

"I had told her the day before that I was attempting to look but of course nobody wants to cover. She didn't respond, so I sent a follow-up text and that was the reply I got. What is this joke about making employees find their own coverage while sick? Literally passed out on the floor being told I need to find coverage? Wtf"

When I was at university, I got a part time job in a convenience store. On my first day, my start time was 8am; I rocked up at 7:50am to my boss telling me I’m late. I look up at the clock on the wall and it says 7:50. Before I can say that I’m not late, she tells me that I should turn up half an hour before my shift to count my float and relieve whoever is working before me. Not only did she fail to mention this to me when she gave me the job, but I argued that if I had to work an extra half I should be paid for it. I walked out in the middle of the shift after she shouted that I was “fücking useless” in front of a shop full of customers after I’d messed up on the cash register that I was learning to use.
