It’s not just you. Most workers are unhappy in their jobs. A recent study by Careerbuilder.com and The Walt Disney Company tells us why. Salary you say? Nay. Three times more people said their dream job would have more fun. 

So maybe there is something you can do rather than wait for workers to become irritable then angry then leave. Maybe you can look for ways to have fun. Ask the workers first – part of the fun is thinking of things to do. Give them time to come up with a lot of ideas, even crazy ones. Then let them figure out how to do them. There will be barriers to some of the ideas, so make sure they get started on some fun activities right away.
 

If you resist this as wasted time and believe it will reduce productivity, then you have become one of the managers you always dreaded having.
