You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and feel like everything is going to be ok? You’re excited for your day, and optimistic about your life. This might sound strange, but we all have moments where we just feel good. We are happy with our lives because of what we are working towards or how far we’ve come.
We want this feeling to last forever, but it never does. There will always be something bad happening in our lives; whether it’s a difficult situation at work or a fight with a loved one, there is always another enduring issue waiting for us around the corner!
In this blog post I’m going to list ten enduring issues that can affect anyone in any company at any time. These enduring issues are not in any particular order.
Workplace bullying
Verbal abuse
Sexual harassment or assault
Emotional abuse
Physical violence
Domestic violence at the workplace (when one of the partners is an employee)
“Going Postal” and murdering a colleague, usually as revenge for being bullied or harassed themselves
“Dead Peasants Insurance Policy” where employers take out life insurance policies on their employees without telling them – to make money when they die from a work related incident. In other words, it’s killing someone to profit off of them!
“The Peter Principle”, which states that people will be promoted until they fail so often that there is no position left in the hierarchy for them to be promoted into
“The Jerry Maguire Effect” where employers will fill positions with people who are loyal rather than those who have good qualifications. This is so that they don’t risk losing someone and not being able to find anyone else willing to take on their position (which can happen when there’s a high turnover rate). The “Jerry Maguire Effect” was named after Tom Cruise’s character Jerry Maguire from the movie of the same name, which is about an agent whose motto is “loyalty over negotiation.”
Mental health problems may lead to absenteeism or reduced productivity at work. There’s also evidence that mental disorders independently increase one’s chances of being unemployed.
The fear of automation is also a major factor in the current global economic situation, as many jobs are being lost to machines and software that can do tasks more efficiently than humans. As this trend continues and accelerates, it will leave society with great uncertainty about how people’s livelihoods will be affected by such advances in technology.
Employees who have their own business may go into other work during absences or short term periods where there’s less demand for what they’re selling–but then switch back when things pick up again.
It might seem obvious, but not all employees want to stay at one company forever; some prefer changing employers often because they like having new experiences while others enjoy staying put because they feel more confident in their work and have a better sense of the company’s culture.
The need for flexibility is on the rise, with companies seeking to cultivate cultures that are agnostic about where employees work–whether from home or at an office.
Different generations also come with different expectations: Millennials expect quick feedback while Baby Boomers might want to wait until the end of the day; Generation Xers are likely somewhere in between those two extremes.
Enduring Issues: -Employees who have their own business may go into other work during absences or short-term gaps, and this can create a conflict of interest. -Leaving the company often because they like having new experiences while others enjoy staying put because they feel more confident in their work and have a better sense of the company’s culture.

It’s not easy being a creative professional these days, given how many people have some form of what we would call “creative jobs.” But even if they’re good at their job, it doesn’t mean there isn’t going to be somebody who thinks they could do it better and then quit after only six months.
