Does the above video hit just a little too close to home? (You haven’t watched it yet? Sigh. Ok, I’ll wait.)
As I was saying, if watching the clip of what has to be one of the most dysfunctional workplaces imaginable feels like déjà vu for you, first of all I would like to say, “I’m sorry.” And second of all, I would like to share with you that you are absolutely not alone. According to this piece from TED’s The Way We Work series, 60 percent of people worldwide are unhappy at work. Sixty percent. That’s more people than actually live in the United States of America. That’s higher than the percentage of Americans who voted in the last presidential election. That is an obscene amount of people.
