Forget burnout, boreout is the new office disease

[Zippy]

10 out of 10?
I'm so bored I got 11

Very Spinal Tap ..

I could complete my work much more quickly and effectively if my colleagues were to all bugger off home.

Jobs may well just be jobs

However for a lot of people jobs offer the only way of achieving any sort of meaningful goal in their life

As such if some one is bored they will become demotivated

If they become demotivated performance at work will suffer.

But then I suppose you can just sack them

I personally could not care less but it is down to the manager to try to keep the teams motivated and upbeat - especially in this current downturn where things may not be as busy as previously.

You have to remember most people on here are highly motivated intelligent individuals - the average worker on the average salary is not.

He’s right. People were motivated and intelligent enough to get the kind of qualifications and training that gets us highly paid contracting roles. The fact that some clientcos have raised demotivation to an artform and are even capable of demotivating the most highly paid and highly educated people in their office is something quite different.

The only job I truly enjoyed was in the military. I never tired of shooting at things and blowing things up. I liked it so much I used to hate it at going-home time, and I used to get very stressed.

and the shouting. I used to love being able to shout un-pc things at people at the top of my lungs and be admired for it.
The piss drinking competitions were a bit of a bummer though

Of course these days the downside would be getting your arsehole blown to pieces by a suicide bomber in one of New Labour's wars.
