Work satisfaction is a large component of happiness, as we spend a lot of our time at work (nearly half our waking hours). It's important not to neglect other aspects of your life and base your self-worth and happiness on work alone, but it's important to ensure you are happy at work.
- effingwewt 5y agoEvery statement you made is completely subjective. If you added 'For myself' at the beginning it would make more sense as an argument. Assuming others feel the same about work, or that they only spend half their waking time there is pretty short-sighted. I, for one, place no worth on a person by what they do, or what I do, to make a living. As far as I'm concerned, we are not our jobs, and I am sure quite a few people are living their lives with unfulfilled potential because they will never be given the opportunity to find out what they are truly good at or capable of. They are spending most of their lives trying to survive while making the rich richer. To me it's a sad state of affairs all the way around.
- burntoutfire 5y agoI agree, but i would phrase it contrarily, as this much more common - work dissatisfaction is often a large component of unhappiness.
- rmk 5y agoAbsolutely. Work dissatisfaction has the potential to disrupt other aspects of quality of life, including interpersonal relationships, especially if it's not addressed for a long time.
