    While I do not agree with your video format (no face, no views)... I do agree with flexibility in the workplace. I currently work 5 days a week. I asked to change it to 3 days a week. yes it would be less pay, and no benefits. Which sux, but I am willing to deal with that. What I cannot deal with is corporate heads saying no to anything different than what they have always done. My contract ends April 24, 2025 and the only way to cut to 3 days a week is to agree to extend that contract to December. Which I think is very unfair. It's only 4 months until my contract is up.. so why can't they just prorate the 4 months? I am thinking about emailing the people higher up in the company. I need some 'work life balance' and since I cannot afford to quit because of that contract, I am desperately trying to find a solution.

    • @LouisCarterChange
      @LouisCarterChange 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nice thought! Being "in love with what you do" involves a deep emotional connection and heightened engagement, leading to intense loyalty, initiative, and alignment with organizational goals. In contrast, "just loving what you do" reflects a positive yet less profound emotional state that may not result in the same level of commitment and extra effort.
