Our Jobs Pride is alive and well in the American workplace. A new survey finds that nine in ten people are proud of their jobs, and three-fourths are proud of their workplaces. Six in ten workers say they wouldn't switch employers for the same job at the same wage.
Most people come to work wanting to make a difference.
They want their jobs to matter. The biggest gripe is workplace bureaucracy. On average among all respondents, people spend nearly 10 hours each week wrestling red tape and cumbersome workplace rules. Two in ten workers say they'd swap employers for the same job and wage. Meetings are just as long for both groups, but for people who want to leave, there's twice as much unproductive meeting time.
