oftentimes, it is not the job that you hate, but the boss who’s running behind. When your boss think of its employees is just a part of the pie chart, or just a cell in the spreadhsheet, harmony between the ranks starts to crumble. Management must be thoughtful that employees is also human – it have emotions and needs trusting support.

As an employee you are nothing but a labor printer. If you need service and that service is cheaper than buying a new printer, you get serviced. Otherwise, you’re trash that just hasn’t been thrown away yet. People do not matter to the corporate model. Only productivity matters. And treating people well is not how you keep productivity up. Taking away their benefits, paying them steadily less year after year, and destroying the planet they all need to live on seems to be more than enough motivation to keep productivity sky rocketing while wages, health, and overall well being take a back seat to brutal economic inequality.

In my country, if the employee’s boss is his/her father, the position and salary is always higher than average or brilliant talent owned employees. No fairness anymore , boss needs slaves but elites here in my place.

Most jobs: Going somewhere you don’t want to go, to do things you don’t like doing, while being around people you don’t want to be around, all for reasons you don’t really believe in, just in order to avoid becoming homeless and starving to death.

That example is soo creepy, I don’t want to be around people doing sports to begin with and “helpful” employees contributed to Germans like me refusing to shop at Walmart.
Those conditions were better meet at other local stores thought, so that may have contributed.

Most people don’t have a career. They just have a job.
If you have a job that takes you about a year to get comfortable at work, that is the end of the first chapter in your career.
Longer you work there from then on, you are only multiplying the same number of experience. Consequently higher you are forced to go up the career ladder to level up your work experience, more the sacrifice you have to compromise.
You flip a burger for 6 months at McDonald and stay there for 3 years, you don’t have a 3 years of work experience. You just have 6 months of experience in flipping a burger 6 times.
That is a reality of work that most of us do for a living, not for a career.
The idea of having work-life balance stems from not having a true career.
A good job is the one that you are being surrounded by a group of people who are equally passionate about what they do.
Your happy work always comes at the expense of others like those janitors who clean up your office after you leave; unpaid interns; or in some cases, tax payers for those government-funded jobs.
