So all of the following may not be the case all of the time. But when you love your job, many of the following should be the case much of the time:<\/p>\n
1. You don\u2019t talk about other people; you talk about the cool things other people are doing.<\/strong> When you love your job you don\u2019t gossip about the personal failings of others. You talk about their successes, because you\u2019re happy for them \u2013 and because you\u2019re happy with yourself.<\/p>\n 2. You think, \u201cI hope I get to\u2026\u201d instead of, \u201cI hope I don\u2019t have to\u2026\u201d<\/strong> When you hate your job it\u2019s also like peeling an onion \u2013 but all you discover are more tears.<\/p>\n 3. You see your internal and external customers not as people to satisfy but simply as people.<\/strong> And you gain a real sense of fulfillment and purpose from taking care of those needs.<\/p>\n 4. You enjoy your time at work.<\/strong> When you love your job, it\u2019s a part of your life. You feel alive and joyful not just at home \u2013 but also at work.<\/p>\n 5. You would recommend working at your company to your best friend\u2026<\/strong> 6. You enjoy attending meetings.<\/strong> 7. You don\u2019t think about surviving. You think about winning.<\/strong> 8. You see your manager as a person you work with, not for.<\/strong> You feel trusted.<\/p>\n 9. You don\u2019t want to let your coworkers down.<\/strong> 10. You hardly ever look at the clock.<\/strong> 11. You view success in terms of fulfillment and gratification \u2013 not just promotions and money.<\/strong> You definitely feel that way too\u2026 but somewhere along the way your job has come to mean a lot more to you than just a paycheck. And if you left this job, even if for a lot higher salary\u2026 you would still miss it.<\/p>\n A lot.<\/p>\n 12. You leave work with items on your to-do list you\u2019re excited about tackling tomorrow.<\/strong> You often have cool stuff \u2013 new initiatives, side projects, hunches you want to confirm with data, people you want to talk to \u2013 left over when it\u2019s time to go home.<\/p>\n 13. You help without thinking.<\/strong> And they do the same for you.<\/p>\n 14. You can’t imagine being somewhere else.<\/strong> How many of the above statements apply to you and your job?

\n\u201cI hear Michelle has really improved our customer happiness scores.\u201d or \u201cI\u2019d love to know how Mike managed to rescue that sale.\u201d \u201cSherry developed a new tool that’s made our lives so much better.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhen you love your job it\u2019s like peeling an onion. There are always more layers to discover and explore.<\/p>\n
\nThey aren’t numbers. You think of them as real people who have real needs.<\/p>\n
\nYou don’t have to put in time at work and then escape to life to be happy. You believe in enjoying life and enjoying work.<\/p>\n
\nIn fact, you can’t stop talking about how cool your company is and the awesome work you’re doing even when you’re away from work. Your friends and family are envious.<\/p>\n
\nNo, seriously, you enjoy meetings. Why? Because it\u2019s fun to be at the center of thoughtful, challenging discussions that lead to decisions, initiatives, and changes \u2013 changes you get to be a part of.<\/p>\n
\nYou don’t worry much about losing your job. You’re more worried about not achieving your potential. Not being as impactful as you can be.<\/p>\n
\nYou feel valued. You feel respected.<\/p>\n
\nNot because you\u2019ll get in trouble or get a bad performance review, but because you admire them \u2013 and you want them to admire you.<\/p>\n
\nYou\u2019re too busy making things happen. When you do look at the clock, you often find that the time has flown.<\/p>\n
\nEveryone wants to be promoted. Everyone wants to earn more.<\/p>\n
\nMany people cross the \u201cfun\u201d tasks off their to-do lists within the first hour or two.<\/p>\n
\nYou like seeing your colleagues succeed, so it\u2019s second nature to help them out. You pitch in automatically.<\/p>\n
\nYou’re having too much fun. Learning too much. <\/p>\n
\nIf you said:<\/strong>
\n0-3: You may want to find a new job. Life is too short.
\n4-6: You don’t hate your job… but you don’t love it either. What can you do differently?<\/strong>
\n7-10: You really enjoy your job and the people you work with
\n11-14: You are deeply, madly in love with your job! (and your friends are definitely jealous!)<\/p>\n
