Over the last few months I’ve been asked by two different managers if I’m “happy working here”. To me, this is a very weird question and an odd ideology. I don’t go to work to be happy or find happiness, so no, I’m not happy working here! But that doesn’t mean I’m not showing up every day and going a good job. What’s the fixation about being happy at our jobs? (I understand we spend much of our lives at work, so why not be happy doing it…)
