In an ideal world, we would be doing meaningful work with the people we choose to work with. We would work where we want and when we want.
Oh yeah, this isn’t an ideal world. The above is the reality for a small minority of people. For most people, they work in situations they want to run away from…because, oh yeah, you need this pesky thing called money.
Money pays for your groceries, internet, gas, rent, mortgage, and anything else you need (and want). Without money, you’ll be a huge ball of stress and won’t think about anything else. With money, you’ll be able to focus on other aspects of your life that you find meaningful and enjoyable.
Silly Corporate Buzzwords
Since the pandemic, we’ve started to hear these silly buzzwords get thrown around. There’s “quiet quitting” and “quiet firing”. Then the even more silly “quiet hiring”…huh? Then the grand finale….we’ve all heard of the “Great Resignation”.
All of this points to everyone’s awareness of work and how it correlates to their life. Life is short. Trying to find work you enjoy is a very meaningful undertaking. Why not? Why not you? There is still time.
