Work Core Needs

These points are what I use to gauge how I feel about my job.

  1. I see motion towards making terrible things less terrible.
  2. I feel recognized, valued, and that my work has meaning.
  3. My direct report is not an overbearing micromanaging jerk.
  4. The work environment is not that of a sweatshop.
  5. My pay is accurate, timely, fair, and my benefits are beneficial to my family.

I have noticed that when the truthy points dip below 60%, I start wondering what I am doing and how I can make changes to get back to 80%.
