As humans, if we follow the natural circle of life, after primary, secondary school and university between practical college or theoretical, many of us enter the era where we spend a big part of our lives until retirement, working. Some people call this working life adulting. Once we start working, we learn, develop, change opinions, start standing up for ourselves, grow and evolve. Part of this working era is how we live this working experience in our everyday life at work.
Here comes one essential pillar of the whole experience, satisfaction. And more specifically job satisfaction.
