Are you staying just for the paycheck?

Are you staying just for the paycheck?

Author: Dan Miller - 48 Days & Glassbox Media December 1, 2023 Duration: 32:43

It's true that the volatility created by Covid caused nearly everyone to reevaluate their work. Many experienced remote work for the first time and decided they would make that a priority from now on. Others heard about the desperate search for workers by hundreds of companies and decided to explore what seemed like easy options to advance or even change careers only to experience shift shock. We've heard terms like "quiet quitting", "resenteeism", "bare minimum Mondays", "act your wage" and "sheltering in place" to describe simply tolerating a job in exchange for the paycheck. 

If you identify with any of these terms - it's time to move on.

I'm also going to give you 5 clear indicators of how you may be feeling that are even more pressing reasons you need to take action - now. 

And I have two Christmas movie recommendations that build on everything we talk about here on this podcast all through the year - as guiding principles to build your true success.
