☆ Why Americans Hate Their Jobs; Fake Email Jobs, Meaningless Work
  + stars: | 2024-06-26 | by ( Molly Lipson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
The American Psychological Association highlights findings that people who find their jobs meaningful are more engaged, show up to work more, and are healthier. Many in those industries have begun to refer to their work as "fake email jobs" — office jobs that largely involve sending emails without producing anything. Other people have managed to juggle multiple full-time remote jobs thanks to the limited amount of work each job actually required. Working a useless job is a "profound psychological violence," Graeber wrote, one that removes any sense of dignity and fosters "deep rage and resentment." Short of everyone quitting to become their own CEO, employers will need to figure out how to make work feel meaningful for their staff.

"The ways that you are supported during hard times makes a big difference in how you feel able to be included and thriving at work," Manning said. To maintain that practice, Manning said, managers need to be trained in having conversations about tough times.

☆ Employees Need Positive Feedback From Bosses. Without It, People Quit.
  + stars: | 2023-03-28 | by ( Molly Lipson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
A 2021 study by the global management-consulting firm McKinsey found that the top-two reasons people quit their jobs are because they don't feel valued by their company or their manager. And when employees feel happy and rewarded by their jobs, they are also more productive. How to really mean it when you give an employee praiseFor employees to really feel valued at work, it's important that they are recognized on a regular basis. While a simple acknowledgement of good work can be a powerful tool, Baumgartner told me that a simple "thank you" isn't sufficient to truly appreciate employees' work. Peer-to-peer recognition is also an important way employees can feel valued.
☆ In the largest-ever experiment of its kind, 33 companies adopted a four-day workweek. The results were conclusive: It's time for everyone to take Fridays off.
  + stars: | 2023-01-17 | by ( Molly Lipson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
The results of the new report were unequivocal: The four-day workweek was better for everyone. And nearly all of the 495 employees involved in the trial wanted to maintain the four-day working week. The 4 Day Week trial found that participants spent an hour less time commuting than before the trial. A four-day week also provides vast improvements in well-being, life satisfaction, and sleep for women. As companies continue to grapple with attracting and retaining staff, the four-day week could be a relatively simple solution.
☆ Time-off policies are more generous than ever. So why does everyone feel more burned out than ever?
  + stars: | 2022-09-21 | by ( Molly Lipson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
Nearly a fifth of respondents said they avoided taking vacation time for fear of being seen as not committed enough to their jobs. Many companies don't adjust their expectations based on their new leave policies and simply expect workers to cram in the same amount of work. When it was time to return to work, Paraskeva found herself unable to go in. The hypocrisy of time-off policies makes it clear that they seem to benefit the employer much more than workers themselves. By forcing people to pile on work before they leave and scramble once they return, companies are undercutting their supposedly generous time-off policies and making the workplace worse for everyone.
☆ It's time to get rid of managers. All of them.
  + stars: | 2022-05-12 | by ( Molly Lipson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +15 min
What would happen if a company completely got rid of middle managers? In 2012, the publishing company Medium restructured its organization and moved away from centralized management power. The model gets rid of managers and spreads their responsibilities across different roles, giving average workers more of a voice. The reality is that psychological safety isn't intrinsically available to everyone, and holacracy doesn't have anything in it to ensure that safety." It's true that holacracy doesn't eliminate the power structures determined by characteristics such as race, gender, age, and sexuality.
