    The top three ways people feel engaged at work are:

    1. Supportive coworkers
    1. A fun work environment
    1. Recognition (for Gen Z and Millennials especially).

    The fuck?! Is this the shit C-execs jack off to? It’s tripe like this that gets us pizza parties instead of realistic compensation.

      Having been paid very good, and today less good due to a career change. I’ll happily tell you payment gave absolutely zero impact on feeling engaged at work. If the job sucks, it’ll suck with good pay as well.

      Sure, it might be easier to push through. But it will not make it more engaging. Co workers and a supporting environment sure will though.

      Not to say I don’t want compensation to be higher across the board, but we should have both.

        Yeah but if pay is good and but work sucks I can still focus on it and grind through the day. If pay is bad im always distracted by all the resumes im sending out.
