The average American spends 89,784 hours of their life working. 59% are miserable with their jobs. Many blame it on their boss, the company they work for, the government, the system, the clients…you name it. Work sucks. But it does not have to. What if you were the boss? What if you had the power to change things…more control, more creativity, more IMPACT. What do you say?
You say I am crazy. I am crazy to suggest you speak up to your boss and demand change. Or worse, walk into the office and declare your resignation (never, not in these times!) But hear me out…we will take baby steps together. Maybe you just need a minor change. Maybe you are due for a major overhaul. Maybe you are in the completely opposite department from where you belong. Chances are this is not the first time you have thought about switching things up at work.
Now be honest…does it feel good to shirk, to steal, to stick it to the man? Probably, unless you have complete respect for your authorities and the business you work for.
Social stigmas in the workplace. You are just a secretary, just a janitor, lunch lady...miserable musician on the street corner. Some of these people absolutely love their jobs! Piccolo Pete, an infamous street musician in Madison, WI graduated with a computer science degree and scored a job as a computer programmer. He grew frustrated with the job, quit after ten months and now plays his piccolo on State Street day in and day out. Passerbys who engage in conversation with Piccolo Pete consider him highly intelligent, talented and a brilliant philosopher. He makes 100% of his income making music and wouldn’t have it any other way.
