I enjoyed reading your article. You are so right in your assessment of the situation. Going to work is a lot more than the benefits and salary. Work has a lot to do with “feeling you are making a genuine contribution to the organization” and shown some appreciation now and then. From my conversations with people regarding their jobs, it always pan out to be how they feel when they are at work versus the games bosses play with workers’ emotions just to make their (bosses) day go by feeling empowered when a worker is troubled or feeling low.
What I find distasteful is how bosses play one worker against another for their own personal pleasure which ultimately break down the wall of trust especially when messages and perceptions of co-workers is “you are number one on the boss’s list of most disliked individuals”. Now that can kill your joy which stiffles your creativity.
