Doing Work with Tears Running Down Your Face
A podcast about living in two emotional spaces at once
There you are at work being amazing like you do. Doing the thing. Every metric says you rock. But you feel sad.
Question: when there’s a gap between how work feels and how you feel, should you get rid of the gap? Should integrate or compartmentalize?
This week, the Mode/Switchers tell stories about times when work feels one way and your soul feels another.
We’re talking about the strange loneliness that comes when sadness and success happen at the same time.
What energizes your work—or doesn’t? Take this 5-Min Survey
Do you ever feel like other people have figured out the formula for job satisfaction, while others (and maybe you) deal with exhaustion or simply feelings of meh?
If you answer yes, David and Craig—we’re Mode/Switch org researchers—would like to know more.
Please strengthen the research behind this newsletter by taking our wholly anonymous 5-minute survey gathering initial information about what energizes your life and work—or doesn’t. Your responses will guide our continuing research in focus-groups to come.
We’re grateful for your time and thought. We’d like to enter each survey taker in a drawing to win a JBL Bluetooth speaker.
