Statistics show that around 62,3% of American workers are “satisfied” with their job. Satisfied. Not overjoyed. But only 19% are actually considering quitting. But it doesn’t matter how much you love your job. There might still be times you could do with a decent dose of humor to get through another work week.

I wish this wasn't true. I worked with a guy that put it to the test. He basically lowered his output to next to nothing (we are software engineers). Eventually he got board and started doing more work. He got promoted because of the "extra effort" he showed. Yet most of the department normally did twice his workload and got nothing.
"This sounds like a "you" problem. Going forward, you need to write a plan that would best optimize the human resources left in the office while I'm on vacation"
Or you hear that the manager who bullied you has had a mental breakdown - is it still schadenfreude if it's also karma?
You might have heard the saying “do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” But in reality, not everyone has the luxury of only working jobs they enjoy. Many people take what they can get. To pay the bills. Others start out loving their jobs, only to change their mind a few days, months or even years down the line.
Recent research found that only about half of Americans are extremely or very satisfied with their job overall. 5,902 U.S. workers took part in the survey last year. Most were not self-employed. Older workers (those over the age of 65) were most likely to love their job. And be happy with their manager, daily tasks, and opportunities for growth. promotion at work. They also are more likely to say they find their job to be enjoyable and fulfilling all or most of the time. Only 44% of those between the ages of 18 and 29 genuinely enjoyed their jobs.
They say money can’t buy happiness but it seems it can buy job satisfaction. The survey found that those with higher salaries were more likely to love their job than lower and middle income workers. They were also much more likely to have access to company benefits like paid time off, health insurance, and retirement programs.
True ...I used to be this happy go lucky, smiling , being nice to people, laughing, excited about the world, making friends, helping everyone kind of person. Now I just grunt.
A separate survey found 76% of U.S. workers reported at least one symptom of a mental health condition. Burnout was top of the list, followed by depression and anxiety. The vast majority said their workplace conditions had contributed to their mental health challenges.
Half of all those polled said they’d left a previous position in order to preserve their mental health. But it’s the younger generation that seems most affected. 81% of Gen Z workers had quit a job because it affected their wellbeing.
Do you have a wife, a mortgage, or the obvious, KIDS ?? If so, there you go.
Yep, made the mistake of sitting down first before doing what needs to be done!
You enjoy looking forward to having days off more than the days themselves.
My former boss (fired now) always had this saying; I don't need people who wanna do 8 and hit the gate attitude, worse boss in my entire 47 year working life.
You mean my least favourite co worker towards me... Guess why he's my least favourite....
I once wished some vehicle to crash against us so that I can go back home.
I thought the "Sunday scaries' were something exclusive to childhood. I was wrong 🫣
Sometimes they recongnize you but most of the time they'll just take advantage of you.
Well, the customers told me this place must have horrible management, so...
Can you write that down so i may examine it three billion times without wasting your time?
That's me, 5 minutes after arriving at work and having had my first sip of my coffee outside of the building...
My boss has assigned a permanent baby sitter because he walked in and my co-worker and I were talking when nothing was going on in late December. Usually he's on one of his 5 week vacations at that point. Angered him we were talking when nothing was going on.
My Yorkie always so happy to see me when I get home she pee's on the floor, best feeling there is!!
Had a former boss tell me after vacay he had like 5k emails, like that's a brag.
My coworkers could tell by the look on my face, whether or not to speak to me.
Had one b***h about not being paid enough (true),IN THE NEXT BREATH, he related how he blew Wednesday off to go to a show. "huh...crazy"
"We value the work you do"...management speak for "We SHOULD pay you more for what you do but f**k that, we need a new Porsche and an extension on our holiday home.
It hurts my soul that we can't just organize a mass strike. The people who work the hardest make the least, and the people who make the most had rich parents. Workers don't deserve this garbage life, and bosses/corporations don't deserve the people who work so hard. It doesn't have to be this way.
