⬇️ I’m so relieved.
Between 2011 and 2012, the polling company Gallup conducted the most detailed study ever carried out of how people across the world feel about their work. They studied millions of workers across 142 countries. They found that 13 percent of people say they are “engaged” in their jobs—which means they are “enthusiastic about, and committed to their work and contribute to their organization in a positive manner.”
Against them, 63 percent say they are “not engaged,” which is defined as “sleepwalking through their workday, putting time—but not energy or passion—into their work.”
And a further 24 percent are “actively disengaged.” They, Gallup explained, “aren’t just unhappy at work; they’re busy acting out their unhappiness. Every day, these workers undermine what their engaged co-workers accomplish … Actively disengaged employees are more or less out to damage their company.”
