Are you satisfied with your job? According to a study, we spent one-third of our life working. That’s practically most of our hours during our prime years. Imagine living life unsatisfied. We only have one life. That’s why it’s essential to find work that’s meaningful for you.

 

What is Job Satisfaction

What is Job Satisfaction?

But how can you say that a job is satisfying? It’s when you feel self-motivated, contented, and happy with your work. It doesn’t mean that you love your job to the end of the world. After all, it’s inevitable to have bad days. It just means that you are fulfilled while working.

 

It’s Okay to Feel Dissatisfied

It’s Okay to Feel Dissatisfied

And it’s perfectly okay to feel dissatisfied. Your feelings are valid. But instead of quitting outright, there are ways to make it all work. After all, sources of income are hard to come by nowadays. Here are 5 glaring reasons why you’re unsatisfied with your job and what to do about it.

 

Compensation

Compensation

Some people feel that they are underpaid. The root is not really the amount of money. It’s more of the tasks given to you.

If this is your concern, you can try asking for a raise from your bosses. But remember, if you’re getting one just because you have more bills to pay, that’s not an enticing reason for a raise on their part. After all, they got bills to pay as well.

It’s all about the value you can give. Do you contribute valuable output to the team? Are your skills sought-after? You can express a raise while having this in mind. Who knows, they might give you one.

But in case that they can’t, you may try out part-time work or business to have more income for your family. And when your income grows from other sources, you have the choice of which one to focus on afterwards.

 

Recognition

Recognition

Every human being craves recognition for a job well done. It feels good to be appreciated by your team for the things you do. But likewise, it feels bad when no one acknowledges your work. It’s as if you aren’t valued in your company. And your emotions are valid.

But before taking it against your bosses, make sure that you’re realistic first. With everyone’s busy schedule, they might just forget to give you feedback. So, ask for feedback if you’re not getting any.

But don’t budge in telling, “please appreciate what I do for this company.” Instead, you can ask for dialogue for performance feedback for what you have done for the past months. In this way, you can get both the good and the bad.

Also, are you giving appreciation to other people’s work and efforts? Ironically, you can get appreciation by giving it as well. You can be the start of an “appreciation loop” in your team.

Lastly, you don’t need anyone to validate your worth. Ask yourself, what have you contributed to your company? And be proud of that.

 

Career Growth

Career Growth

Even if you have a good income, you still want to progress further in life. That’s why if you don’t see career growth in your job, it might be dissatisfying.

With this, grab on opportunities when it’s presented in your job. It might be leading a project or a new learning seminar. You can also volunteer on things that you think can add value to you and the company.

You can also talk to your superior for feedback on your job. If you have done all of this, and you think it’s not enough, maybe you can pursue other work outside your job.

In this way, you can be more valuable to your current company by acquiring new skills. And you have the option to pursue other opportunities if you want to.

 

Work Culture

Work Culture

Good pay and great career growth, but you still hate going to work? It might be caused by the work culture. Sometimes, we are faced with toxic people in our jobs. We can’t really change that.

You can try a dialogue with your HR and express your qualms. You can go as far as being transferred to another department. But if you can’t take it anymore, it might be best to find other options first and decide afterwards.

But make sure that you find other options first before resigning.

 

Work-Life Balance

Work-Life Balance

We all want to live our lives to the fullest. But how can we do that if all you do is work? What if your work is borderline exploitative. I mean, just because you’re working at home doesn’t mean that you are on call the whole time.

There should be clear boundaries for work-life balance. After all, you have a life outside work.

If this makes you unsatisfied, better talk to your boss about your defined working hours. Have a clear line of when your work stops. In this way, you can enjoy life alongside your job.

Most of our productive years will be spent working. We all want to find work that’s satisfying both financially and emotionally. You can check this link for remote work suitable for your needs. Cheers!
