Sharing Economy / Gig Economy Vocabulary.com defines the word happy as “a feeling of joy, pleasure, or good fortune – exactly how you’d feel if you learned that you won the lottery or got accepted into your number one choice of college.” Happy isn’t an adjective that many people associate with their employer, unless they work for one of the happiest companies in the US.
Everyone strives to be happy in life. A major factor in a person’s happiness level is their job and their employer. When you find the right match, going to work is something you look forward to, not something you dread. Is it time to find a new happy job?
