Is Your Job Work?

9/23/2014

Is your job work? If the answer is yes, then maybe you are doing it correctly. There are a multitude of articles about how to promote fun in the work environment and increase productivity by having "fun-time" in the office. What happened to working in the office? When did this change? When did the employees start expecting the employer to provide a fun environment?

I have worked many jobs in my life-time from waitress to hotel receptionist to elementary school teacher and never did I expect an ice-cream social or afternoon yoga . I went to my job to work. I did expect to have a safe environment where I was treated with respect and an environment that was free from bullying or sexual harassment,  but I was expected to work and that is what I did.

Steve Jobs said, “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.” There are many quotes like this that tell you to do what you love and then it won't feel like work, but the fact is we can't all do what we love, at least not our entire lives. There is always the job that you don't like, that you have to keep, so you can get through school or make payments. Or the career you choose and then realized it's not what you thought it would be, but you still have to do it because you have bills to pay. The key is to find something that you are good at, something that gives you a sense of accomplishment, even if you don't love it. Then you can have pride in your work and yourself and you can continue to search out the things you do love.

And if all else fails you can join a support group like the picture below for those who hate their job. I'm just kidding, I don't advocate drowning your problems in alcohol, it just made me laugh, so I thought I would share.

Do your job correctly and work!
