Some people actually love what they do for "work".
- TeMPOraL 9y agoGood for them. That would be a what, a pretty small fraction of the global population? And that's before asking whether it's true love or just Stockholm syndrome.
- pasquinelli 9y agoI don't understand those people. I went out and got a job doing what I love, but it only turned the thing I love into a fucking job.
- octygen 9y agoThis happened to me too. I find the quality of the boss/leadership mitigates this for me. A good leader can make a job into something you love if it can be aligned to what you want to do. I try to attain this utopia with everyone on my teams.
- z3t4 9y agoIf it feels like work, it's work, otherwise you would do it for free right !? smile Most people enjoy the reward, and that's ok, but there's also people that enjoy the work. But you can't expect it to be fun all the time. But for those of you who hates your work, I think extrinsic motivation (a salary) works just as well as intrinsic motivation for both "success" and happiness.
- Rainymood 9y agoMaybe work satisfaction is like a bell-curve? There are a small amount of people who absolutely LOVE what they do and also a very small amount of epople who absolutely HATE what they do with a large majority in the middle.
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoActually, I think the statistics show most people hate their jobs.
- robmass94 9y agoI don't hate my job; I just hate how much time it kills.
- JetSpiegel 9y agoThat's just the Protestant Work Ethic.
- aplummer 9y agoI don't think so, i get to work early because I want to.
