55% of Employees Are Unhappy in Their Jobs
Posted on Tuesday, January 5, 2010 by Frank RocheThe Conference Board’s survey of employee happiness showed there ain’t much joy in Mudville. Employees are the unhappiest they’ve been in the 22 years that The Conference Board has been studying worker attitudes.
1) How’s that employee engagement stuff working out?
2) If you aren’t keeping your employees engaged, watch out when the market improves.
3) Unhappiness is contagious.

No kidding. “People are parts” is back in vogue. We have degenerated to the 1950’s management style of comand and control. Only in todays world loyality and paternalism are dead and replaced by cover your ass mentality.

@Gil I’m afraid at the bad companies that’s what’s happened. The good ones that continued to treat employees with respect will be scooping up talent by the bucketload when the Great Talent Migration happens.

You’d think that people would have woken up by now…real simple formula…you treat people like garbage, they do garbage work. And as soon as jobs are available, they are outta there. Some people just need their stupid sign!

@Lindsay, it’s the age-old question: Why is common sense so uncommon?
