Discussion 7: The Workplace Life is comparison--a very unpleasant workplace in the past may have made you appreciate current conditions in a new way. I generally don't post topics that encourage negative comments, but if you want to talk about a current good situation in light of a past bad one, go ahead. So, besides being a good boss, what other factors have contributed to your job satisfaction? Good pay? Flexible working hours? An on-site gym or daycare? Stock options? Knowing your company is doing good work? Just having a job? C'mon, there's got to be something you like about it!
