Next, it's important to be involved in something useful indeed. And I aprecciate honest relations and equivalent wages.

The idea of approaching happiness at work from the angle of user experience design is excellent, especially because there's a huge body of knowledge around that already. This is a great post.

Top leadership is so out of touch with reality that they actually have no other frame of reference. Surrounded by yes men and toadies who will only tell them what they want to hear, what else are CEO's to think? Perhaps spending some quality time with the skeptics and cynics within the organization might help. Now there's a new idea! I've written a book on the subject from over 30 years of midmanagement experience. "160 Degrees of Deviation: The Case for the Corporate Cynic." All CEO's should read it but probably won't. I'll just keep trying to be the voice in the wilderness. Correct John, all CEO’s will say thet their employees are happy.

But I know they are possible. And they have nothing to do with surroundings or perks or pizza luncheons or any of the advertising crap that clutters my desk. One of my more interesting WOW jobs took place in a corner of a paper machine control room, jammed with about 500 volumes of Honeywell API documentation. The room ordinarily housed operating control panels and a couple of other workstations and was a shoulder-to-shoulder exercise for us extras. It was hot, noisy, and every once in a while we got sprayed with liquid toilet paper. I did good work there because I was able to see what the customer did before the "improvements" we were making. Other wonderful working experiences were in construction trailers and the middle of tank farms. Same deal -- got to talk to the customer in their environment, not ours. And not filtered by sales/marketing/legal/management spin.

It seems that a prerequisite to be a CEO is to be delusional. Ask any CEO if he thinks his employees are happy working for his company, and 100% of them will say YES!
