Workplace Satisfaction
Many of us here are employed in some form or another. Employment means that you have committed yourself to an occupation from which you derive your livelihood. You are selling your time to another person.
The average person will spend almost 100,000 hours at work during the course of their lifetime. Someone once estimated that from age 18 to age 65, working 40 hours a week, you’ll spend more than 1/3rd of your life at work! Let me ask you a question - do you enjoy your work? What kind of an employee are you? Do you find it fulfilling and look forward to it or do you dread it and see it as something to be endured – a necessary evil?
Few men ever drop dead from overwork, but many quietly curl up and die because of under satisfaction. -- Sydney Harris
