Do you want to make your job more satisfying?

Part 1 of a 5 Part Series on Job Satisfaction.

Do you dread going to work?  Are you getting burned out and jaded?  This series will teach you how to enjoy your job again.  If you were to get a promotion today and your salary doubled, you be pretty happy right?  You'd be excited until the novelty wore off, which happens quickly (joy is fleeting)....



So what exactly is it that makes us satisfied with our jobs?  According to the Havard Business Review job satisfaction can be boiled down to 3 specific things. 


  • Challenging work. Believe it or not, monotony = boredom = unhappiness.  If you are never challenged at work you do not have a chance to learn or grow.  Overcoming challenges or difficult problems can be stressful but they give us a sense of achievement and accomplishment versus doing things that are easy and become mind-numbingly dull over time.



  • Being appreciated by coworkers and superiors.  Show me someone who works tirelessly day in and day out and is only recognized to be reprimanded for doing something wrong and I'll show you a miserable, disgruntled worker.  Everyone likes to be appreciated.  Humans, like other animals respond favorably to positive reinforcement.  

  • Contributing to decisions.  This is similar to having autonomy.  Independence and the feeling of having control is important to being happy.  When we feel as though everything is forced upon us we feel helpless.  Even giving people a little choice in decisions make transitions much easier.
 The BIG 3, be satisfied in any job.Check back for Part II of The Job Satisfaction Series.



Reallocated some of my 401K Funds

Still trying to reach the $50,000 milestone for my 401K, probably will reach it before the end of this year. The market has not helped my cause, to date my overall value has dropped 0.7%. I reallocated my funds in my 401K since the market is really flat this year. I have moved to some bonds federal and world and will follow closely to see how the account fairs. My other single stock picks have been dogs as well, losing over 50% in value. I am cutting some of my losses and selling to get out of the stocks before losing any more. Sharebuilder is good if you are investing a little bit consistently but the fees are too high to make a quick buck day trading or trading will small amounts of cash. The commissions eat up all of the profits -$10 per live trade it too high. I am currently looking for a different brokerage for trading with much lower fees so I can start making profits. Anyone use TradeKing or Sogo?
