Apart from perhaps parenting, work is supposed to be the best, most fulfilling thing in life. The root crime of capitalism is alienation, the source from which every other of its more serious crimes flow.

    LinkedIn socialists unite!

    edit I'm just being cheeky and sarcastic. Work should be fulfilling. I suspect it's easier when one deals with the tangible stuff like construction

    I think it's the fact that you're not in control that is the main issue. You're working to fulfill someone else's vision for their benefit, not yours.

    But yeah, the sitting still all day is another layer of unfulfilling.

    Yes, that's a component for sure (although I've not really done private gigs before - most of my assignments have been government. In NZ it's still fairly small).

    I do love a tight and small team that sticks together though, that can be really rewarding!
