It’s a cold, hard fact of life that a lot of jobs out there are NOT empowering. Not at all, actually.
Many jobs leave people beaten down, frustrated, and very unhappy at the end of the day, which is too bad, because we obviously spend so much of our lives working.
But maybe these tweets from people who DO feel empowered out there will inspire you to find a new position or to try to change the culture at your own company. Hey, you’ll never know until you try, right?
Enjoy these tweets, because we think they are very inspiring.
