A lot of people leave their organizations because they are 'unhappy'. What is this so-called unhappiness? I have been working for donkey years, and there has never been a day when I am not unhappy about something in my work environment - boss, rude colleagues, fussy clients, etc.
Unhappiness in a workplace, to a large extent, is transient. If you look hard enough, there is always something to be unhappy about. But, more importantly, do I come to work to be "happy" in the truest sense? If I think hard, the answer is "No". Happiness is something you find with family, friends, maybe a close circle of colleagues who have become friends. What you come to work for is to earn, build a reputation, satisfy your ambitions, be appreciated for your work ethics, face challenges, and get the job done.
