    Default What motivates you at work....

    For those people who have jobs that are not really micromanaged, how do you stay focused? I'm here bored as all hail, and can't find an ounce of "work" in me. There is a project that I am 5% away from completion, but I don't feel inclined to just do it.

    Procrastination, nope....just want to do other shit, lol.

    Beats a company that’s totally micromanaged, you're always having to stay on your feet.

    I am in a rather important position especially for my age and if I make to many mistakes I can cost people their jobs, not something I want to live with.

    Of course I own this.

    I do all the optimization and cost savings models for the company. I'm only a big deal when I am working with a region, lol.

    They are like "Oh, hey Mr. Analyst man, we needs monay but sales are dropping. Can you haz helps us?". Once I save them a few $$, they call back for more.

    Still not motivating. Now the thought of my bonus does put a grin on my face.

    My shits the same all the time. The only change are the location and leadership teams, lol.

    I'm going back to school in the Summer @ GA State. New direction or new position is needed.

    Money of course is my first motivation, but knowing that I am good at my job and I am one of the best servers, is a huge motivation. Although my job is just enough to get me through school and is not a career, I still like to be the best at what I do. I like results! Knowing that I am really good at my job and I produce those results, makes me feel soooo good! I like being the best at everything I do!
    THAT'S MY JAM!

    I got a sweet deal at my job. I get paid $xx per load I carry. Plus I get paid for every mile I put on my truck, empty or loaded, bobtail or hooked up. That's what keeps me focused. The more loads I run, the more money I make. My average is about 8 loads per day. Five days per week. Plus miles. Later, QD.

    Did someone say Viagra???

    Today is a little better for me, and I think I found the reason for my lack of motivation. McDonald's Sweet Tea is the culprit. When I got to work, I did work. Then, I left for a refreshing cup of $1 tea. Now, I feel like someone stole my favorite action figure or some shit. That tea has depressants in it I SWEAR!!!
