A survey (I’ll provide a link as soon as I can find one) sponsored by Careerbuilder.ca reveals that about 60% of Canadian private-sector workers see their job as just that: a job, not a career. That means that 40% of workers surveyed do see their jobs as careers, which I think is a pretty darn good number.
Workers’ biggest complaint about their jobs wasn’t pay or work duties. It was the fact that they didn’t feel valued by their employers.
Maya Angelou once said, “People will forget what you said and what you did, but they’ll always remember how you made them feel.”
Words worth remembering, those are—by employers, colleagues, parents, and human beings.
Now, it’s time for me to get back to editing. Gotta work to be part of that 40%.
