The series of waves that the pandemic began have rippled through the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, the Great Regret, and other eloquent phrases that boil down to the same thing: people aren’t engaged at work or enabled to perform at their best.

You can usually tell the difference between an employee who’s really satisfied with their job and someone who’s just skating along. They might volunteer for extra projects, bring a box of donuts around the office more often, and generally lift up the rest of the team. That’s because when someone is satisfied with their job, every day matches exactly what they expect.
