Never Confuse having a career with having a life |
Here are some facts that may make you feel a little better about your current work associated problems.
- 70% of the workforce is thinking about, or actively looking for, a new job.
- Two thirds of our dissatisfaction is caused by our boss.
- One third of our dissatisfaction is caused by our environment.
- Less than 5% of our dissatisfaction is caused by the job itself.

With that in mind, our goal is to provide enough information for you to eradicate any work associated problems and bring fun, enjoyment and happiness back to the workplace.
Have You Been Mis-Employed?
If you’re experiencing extreme work associated problems, you may be the victim of mis-employment. Mis-employment happens at the interview stage.
Many interviewers don’t ask the right questions. They’re too focused on skills, achievements, and aspirations.
For example
Q – Do you fit with the company? – A- Erm, well that’s not always asked.
You are expected to adapt to the new company, new boss and new culture. Are you ready for the new culture or new boss? Equally, is your new employer ready for you?

How To Avoid Mis-Employment
The most effective way to avoid mis- employment is to be pro-active. You are entitled to ask questions during your interview with potential employers. After all, you will have to work in that environment. You need to know what you’re getting into in order to choose whether or not to accept the position.
This is, of course, very easy to say. It’s not so easy to actually do, especially if you really want the job. You may not be in a financial position to say no. Or, you may have carried out research and identified the job as a great opportunity for you. Can you pass up on such an opportunity?
Perhaps not. But you can avoid many work associated problems by waiting for the right job, rather than jumping on the right now job.
What Do You Really Want to Know?Ask the right kind of questions, and you will get the right kind of answer. Questions are very important in establishing an understanding of whether you can fit into an organisation.
And as a friend once said: cheap biscuits – cheap company. The same is true of questions. Ask quality questions designed to get you the information you need so you don’t end up with work associated problems.
Are you Dissatisfied?We will all feel unhappy, overworked, and undervalued at some time in our careers. If you are truly dissatisfied, then you will probably show signs at home.
Talk to your friends and family. they will know if you are not your usual happy self. Dissatisfaction resulting from work associated problems can lead to stress; your family will be invaluable in helping you to become more aware of your discontentment. Once you can see the extent of your dissatisfaction, you’ll be in a much better place to begin to make the relevant changes.
