Just thought I would share this, by Kathy Gurchiek is associate editor for HR News
More than three-fourths of U.S. adults surveyed in February 2009 say they love what they do as much or more than before the recession, and 86 percent don't think loving what you do is less important even in the midst of the economic freefall.
Among findings from the survey:
- 41 percent of U.S. workers say appreciation for their job dominates their Monday morning emotions, vs. 26 percent who feel indifferent and 21 percent are excited to be going to work.
- 46 percent of women are appreciative to start the work week, vs. 38 percent of men. Apparently men feel more indifferent to the start of the work week than their female counterparts-31 percent vs. 21 percent of working women.
- 90 percent of workers overall have the same level of confidence in their company's executive team since the economy has worsened.
- 9 percent dread the start of a new work week
Well, that should tell us something right there. I think those that do not bail out as soon as business is down are the one's that are committed and love what they do. Not that I am knocking anyone down who is pushed into shutting down because I will work two jobs until I can get my business back on its feet. That is what I call commitment.
