IReading the media, you leave with this impression: American employees are tired. They do “minimum” on Monday, “cushioning” their carriers with side gigs, “Rage” to “apply” and “Coffee Badges” to protest their return to the office policy.
American workers “quit the ghost” (check out without actually quitting their job) and pretend to be a job when they actually practice “productivity theatre.” They take paid leave without permission in the form of “hash trips” and “quiet holidays.” They suffer from “Zoom Doom” and are paying “emotional labor tax.” According to the latest polls, things are “quietly cracking.”
They caused a “big resignation” but now they practice “great stays.” Meanwhile, employers are “quietly dismissing” some of them, but “quietly promote” others by giving others more awareness to more work or simply “quietly cut”. Please don’t complain. Please stay quiet.
What’s next? “Mute to work”? “Calendar mess”? “deadline”?
What’s certain is that these reports will not end immediately. They’re catchy and click. They enjoy talking at parties and late-night TV shows. We can all expect more sleazy phrases and clever terms that explain how unhappy our workforce is for a foreseeable future. But we all need to take these reports with a single grain of salt. why?
First of all, although the name is not a name, you can read the link above. Most of these eye-catching conditions are defined by surveys conducted by HR companies, HR media sites, HR software providers and media-focused voting companies. They tend to use the suspicious definition of “statistical sampling” to investigate hundreds of employees from hundreds of millions of workers. And they all have an agenda. Do you want your employees to be happy? Buy the software! Hire our company! Read more of our research! When you get to most of these reports, you’ll find what I found. Science is not a priority.
Secondly, it’s easy to make your employer the bad guy. The man-obsessed investigation is about to get his eyeballs. reality? People I know are mostly happy with their job and understand the pressures that employers face. They are adults who know that work is work and that there is no perfect job.
Again, are you unhappy with your work? We say we want to make things better – we are driven by ambition. I’m not judging happy people who lock their jobs up and shut them down. Good for them. If you are not satisfied with your job, it may be because you want to want more from your life, and that’s normal. Please check if you can change your job. If you fail, change your employer and perhaps start your own business. But in the meantime, you still need to work.
