1851: The Dangers of Searching for Meaningful Work: A Letter to Employers and Employees by Dr. Benjamin Ritter
Discover all of the podcasts in our network, search for specific episodes, get the Optimal Living Daily workbook, and learn more at: OLDPodcast.com. Episode 1851: Dr. Benjamin Ritter challenges the modern obsession with “meaningful work,” revealing how the search for fulfillment from employers often leads to disengagement and turnover. He argues that true meaning isn’t found, it’s created, through personal accountability and job crafting. Both employees and employers must shift focus: employees must own their sense of purpose, while employers should empower them to shape roles they can love. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.liveforyourselfconsulting.com/articles/2020/12/14/the-dangers-of-searching-for-meaningful-work-a-letter-to-employers-and-employees Quotes to ponder: “Employees are searching for meaningful work and feel that meaning is something they can find, or something an employer can give them.” “The idea that your work should ‘give’ you meaning, as if it’s responsible for how you feel, is incredibly misleading.” “The only thing an employer can actually give their employees is the power to craft a job they can love from a job they have.”
