How do you feel about your job? Do you love it or hate it? Or is your job just okay and will do for the time being while you figure out what you really want to do?
The latest Gallup Poll showed that 70% of Americans hate their job. That is a pretty amazing fact! Yet this is a terrible fact because people need to work to support themselves and their families, yet they are unhappy at work.
What is really sad is there is something that can be done to change and make bad workplace a great workplace for employees. It would take an open discussion between the employer, management staff and the employee to come up with what is wrong and what could they do improve the workplace environment.
