Would you like to be doing something else during your waking hours? Are you happy in your job? The unfortunate reality is that, for most of us, we dwell on this question for a while, but then return to the daily grind, avoiding the thoughts that momentarily entered our minds. However, most people would like to be doing something different.
Yes, the sad truth of the matter is that most people are dissatisfied with their job (studies show satisfaction rates ranging from 21% to 41%). Therefore, most people would rather be doing something different with their time. But if this dissatisfaction statistic is so high, why don’t they change jobs and even careers? Possibly, because the question itself is wrong. Perhaps the question should be rather, “Do you think you would be better off and happy doing something else with your time?”
Since work takes up about 80% of our waking hours, is it possible that we have more than 50% of the population unhappy with their lives? I would like to play here and say no. The reason I believe this (and it’s hard for me to use this word believe, I prefer scientific fact :-)), is that we are programmed to think that there is always something better out there. We think there is something wrong with us if we are happy with the status quo. In our caveman days, we were always looking for that biggest cave. Better real estate closer to richer hunting grounds and perhaps a more abundant source of crystal clear water. Well, the sad news is that nothing much changed. The hunting ground has just been replaced by an office, and the water source, a paycheck that tries to quench the thirsty bank overdraft at the end of each month.
It is not surprising that when asked if you are satisfied or happy with your work, the answer is no. It is normal to show dissatisfaction in your job. It is normal to fight for something better.
The solution to this problem can be assumed by both individuals and companies. For companies to increase the level of satisfaction of their employees with their current job, they need to show them a path of growth within the company. Show them that the path to fertile soil and better hunting lies within the company. The prospect of progress leads to current satisfaction. Stagnation leads to mosquitoes of doubt and dissatisfaction breeding in the calm waters of the mind.
If you feel these feelings of dissatisfaction in your job, take control of the situation. Spend some of your valuable time thinking about your growth ambitions within the company. What is your growth path? Where are you going? What exactly are you dissatisfied with in your current job? The answer to these questions may be enough for you to realize, it’s actually not that bad. Alternatively, you could turn those feelings into action, and that’s a good thing, regardless of your decision to stay or go.
The bottom line is that no one is responsible for your life more than you. Sure, companies can help because of the conditions they create, but you are responsible for your reality. So make sure negativity isn’t creeping into those waking hours, decide to choose your path. Create your life.
