What causes resentment at work?
Employee resentment can stem from a myriad of sources: perceived slight due to lack of promotion or recognition, an unwelcome work assignment, feelings of being overwhelmed and simple jealousy. Managers need to drive positive change and strive for clear communication based on trust.
How do you cope with a minimal job?
Don’t worry about how minimal it is. Start making some cheap and healthy food. Set aside some time each day to just relax and do nothing. Schedule it all if you need to, but make sure you don’t let your job get int the way of your well-being.
What do you do when you have no fun at work?
You have food, a place to live, and something to do most days. You probably have fun once in a while. Maybe you even have people who care about you.

Can we make our jobs more meaningful?
The good news is that there are steps we can take to make jobs more meaningful — for ourselves and others. In many cases, our jobs do have an impact, but we’re too distant from the end users of our products and services. Think of automotive safety engineers who never meet the drivers of their cars or medical scientists who don’t see a patient.
