Over the past few months I’ve received a steady stream of messages from friends saying they’re unhappy at work. Occasionally it's just a bad day that triggers the text. However, generally there are more serious factors at play. Tight labour markets have led many to stay in jobs they don’t like or take roles that aren’t their preference. My peer group is also at a transitional stage where many of us, having spent the first 10-15 years of our professional lives building one type of life, are reevaluating if that’s the path we want to stay on, especially as other life milestones become more prevalent.
