The top ten ways to be unhappy at work, especially after 40!Most people are good at being unhappy at work
There are so many people who are already unhappy at their work. So probably I don't need to teach them since they are already so good at this. But for those who want to change bad habits a reminder sometimes is a good idea. Over-emphasis on Reward and PunishmentDoes this sound familiar? It’s a Friday and another day at the office. Today is employee recognition day. The five biggest myths about workMyth One: Work leads to retirement
This is the biggest myth of all. First of all, most people simply can no longer afford to stop working. Even for those who do stop working soon they find their lives are filled with too much leisure time. Not too long after a feeling of wanting to make a greater difference in the world will emerge. For most of us it is the question how can I keep working? It seems now organizations are hiring the youngest workers at the lowest price they can get. The Best Education For ManagersThere is no consistency today in the way we educate managers. Larger organizations tend to have more comprehensive programs. Eleven Steps to FINALLY loving your work after fortyStep One: Envision exactly what would be just perfect for you!
Many people stop on this first step by their negativity. But no one is going to do this except you.
Take some time and create a picture in your mind of the work which would be just perfect for you. Is it working in the health field, with children, painting, writing or creating marketing campaigns? Separate the money at this stage or you will NEVER move to the step 2. Of course, there will be steps to get to this perfect state. What Treating People as CommoditiesThe culture treats people as commodities
I see it everywhere - people working in jobs which carry little meaning and provide little support for personal development. Worst, the culture treats people as commodities. Performance review systems, manager-employee meetings, and even rewards are set only on recent performance. The recent performance is everything that matters. As a result people feel like they are treading water in their jobs. Over 40? Out of work? Make this the best time of your lifeTake a new approach
Right now millions of Americans are either out of work, recently laid off, or afraid of being laid off. There are millions more, who simply work at jobs, which provide no meaning. They work only in order to get a paycheck. Which work is JUST right for you now?Before 40, it is easier just to accept any work. After all it pays the bills, gives us a job title and a sense of belonging in the world. The problem with this after 40 is that it becomes too easy to settle into a mundane life. It put one’s life on hold until there is a crisis which will happen after 40. Worst case, nothing will happen until retirement and then all those plans that waited until someday can get impacted by some event, economy crash or any personal crisis. Ten good steps to overcome the fear of changeMaking change especially when it comes to your work the fear of change tends to stop us in our tracks. We worry what will happen if we make a mistake or do the wrong thing. How to have an authentic life and pay the bills!After 40, this is the most important pursuit in your life
