I disagree. Motivation doesn’t diminish as one gets older, but that which motivates you may. Now retired, I’m very motivated, just on things that interest me.

I disagree. Motivation doesn’t diminish as one gets older, but that which motivates you may. Now retired, I’m very motivated, just on things that interest me. My last few years working, not so much. Accumulated years of bad management, boring projects, continually reinventing the wheel, etc. drains job satisfaction. Sometimes career interests change. Sometimes a new job or company is the answer.
