Comments on: Unhappy with your job? You're not alone. http://www.gatherlittlebylittle.com/2008/05/unhappy-with-job/ Proverbs 13:11 - "...he who gathers money little by little makes it grow." Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:27:42 -0400 hourly 1 By: July Bucks http://www.gatherlittlebylittle.com/2008/05/unhappy-with-job/comment-page-1/#comment-6250 July Bucks Fri, 23 May 2008 13:27:49 +0000 http://www.gatherlittlebylittle.com/?p=747#comment-6250 Great post! It's not at all surprising that inadequate compensation is a top reason why employees are dissatisfied with they jobs. However it's very surprising that undesirable impact on health is such not a reason for disliking a current job. I guess that it's true that we are ready to stress ourselves to death for a good salary. You are saying that you have tons of work but most of the time you don’t enjoy doing it. Did you talk to your managers and told them you were bored with your job? The thing is, I like the way you stand in all things you mentioned but I doubt if talking to managers really helps. In which situations this approach helped you? Great post!

I just wanted you to know how much I reflect in your life-story (pretty much the same here). My situation is very similiar - I call it "intellectual starvation" because I have found what makes me unhappy is the absence of friends on the same level and fascination of computers and electronics. Not unhappy and not happy either - so true. I just fell accidently over your article. I just wanted you to know how much I reflect in your life-story (pretty much the same here).

Not unhappy and not happy either – so true.

That 3/4 sleeve shirt is classic. Nice curtains too, Mom. :) I think boredom is my biggest downer at work. I liked the advice the survey results gave though. Even though I'm slightly down on my work sometimes, overall I'm super lucky and blessed to make what I do considering the work I put in. Great article…even better picture.
