Just wanted to share this resonant extract from Marcus Buckingham's brilliant book LOVE + WORK.
This resonates SO MUCH. I've definitely been here - have you?
"You're coasting along, doing fine, the job's manageable, the bank account's relatively healthy, but something's missing.
The vinyl record is spinning on the turntable, but the needle isn't touching the grooves.
You put in your time at work, but it's the company's time, not your time.
You're short-tempered and you don't know why.
Your successes at work feel hollow and you don't know why.
You find yourself resenting the praise you get at work, the knowledge you gain, even the money you make.
You low-key resent it all. And you don't know why."
Have you been in this place at work?
PS - buy the book, it's fabulous
