James Altucher: Why Do People Hate Their Jobs?.
I limped out of the meeting and said, “excuse me”, and took the elevator down 67 stories, went to Grand Central, limped home, and never went back to work at that job.
This description hits home with me…
A few days earlier I had discussed with the managing partner how I would get paid if I brought in a huge deal. He smiled and said, “Trust me, James, I always take care of everyone.
“When someone says “trust me” or “I will make you rich” then I know general fuckness will result.
“General fuckness will result”…. gotta love it.
James concludes that hope is NOT lost…
This is not meant to be depressing. Nor does it mean everyone hates their jobs. There are many ways to be an “entre-ployee” where you don’t have the standard job. To be clear: There are more opportunities than ever. But you have to prepare the body and mind and spirit to find those opportunities.
Then you take the magic pill and the tears of dirt wipe away. Come here, pretty baby, and let me hug you.
Prepare away and may “the force be with you”. Oh and there’s a book coming out!
[On June 1, I’m releasing a book, “Choose Yourself!” about how to avoid the whole job thing. Please join my email list and I will update with special material or offers or whatever. It will be fun. Also, if you can think of more reasons people hate their jobs, please put them in the comments]
