Four months ago I wrote this, because knowing you’re unhappy isn’t good enough. You have to identify what you want. But it’s not that easy. What we think we want can actually just be a means to an end, or just a piece of the puzzle. I’m posting this because in the future I want to interrogate each one, and have a better understanding of why I think I want each line.
I want to:
Practice good health techniques (physical and mental)
Be happy at work
Have an active voice in the direction of the company I work for
Have my voice heard when my company does something that I do not agree with
Hold the people who run this company accountable for the health, happiness and sustainability of its employees
Be honest when I say something
Think of everyone here as part of my team
Feel that the company cares that I am an employee
Feel as though other people work as hard as I do, even though it may be on other projects
Trust that my coworkers aren’t fucking around for half the day
Trust my manager to do what’s best for our team
Feel that my CEO deserves to be my CEO
Feel that my manager deserves to be my manager
Have others treat me the same way I treat them
Feel that I am contributing to something larger than myself
Feel that I am helping shape the future
Have defined goals that I am trying to reach
Have someone who has “been there, done that” to give me advice
