Mike
Carruthers:
Hardly
anybody it seems likes their job.
Scott Hunter:
The statistics are that only 6% of the people say they
love their jobs, and 83% of the people say they literally hate
their jobs, so that's the problem.
Consultant Scott
Hunter, author of the book Making
Work Work, says probably the biggest reason for that is
people are not getting something they need when they go to work.
People thrive
on being related. People thrive on being appreciated. People
thrive on feeling like what they're doing is contributing in
making a difference. And I think the biggest disease in this
country is one of resignation, people don't feel like they're
appreciated and part of something.
Scott says only
you can make yourself feel better about your job; and how do
you do that?
You have to learn
to talk about everything. If you have some disappointments with
your boss, go talk to your boss. If you have disappointments
with a co-worker, go talk to them. Now, don't make accusations,
just say, "My expectations were xyz, and I noticed that's
not happening, and I'm disappointed." And if people would
be willing to talk about their disappointments, their expectations,
their feelings, and speak to people with compassion and appreciation,
and respect you'd be surprised. You could say anything to any
boss and get away with it.
