146. How to Make Work Interesting Again and How to Handle "Lazy" Colleagues (Q&A)
Episode 146
Falling out of love with your job and dealing with unmotivated colleagues can make your workday long and have you questioning your career. In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I answer two questions submitted by listeners who are dealing with those exact issues.
Question 1: How to make work interesting again when it's getting boring.
Question 2: How to handle a work environment when your younger colleagues don't take any initiative.
As with all my Q&A episodes, the value lies in hearing answers to other people's questions that you didn't even know you had.
