How often do you look around or actually observe the small piece of world around you??
I am very bored at work and I am trying to appease myself into staying at least half the year to my contract end date. I am running out of diversions to take up time. So I started to look around and observe co-workers to find what makes these people tick and make them seem ok with the boredom. ( many are not as bored as they seem to have difficulty doing the tasks or end up redoing several times)
BAD idea in this case but I have had places before that the people were interesting enough that made up for job issues. I almost feel like I am less inspired to stay here.
Do the people around you in job/ social circles inspire you (financially)?
or do you look around and think these people are why so many are in debt, live paycheck to paycheck and have NO plan.
While this company has a strict sounding training on NO insider trading their actions of late seem to defy it.
Upper management for months telling employees NOW is a good time to buy stock etc. Then since many employees are NOT in shape to go out and buy stock on their own they are now setting up and pushing an ESPP ( only for real employees not the many contractors they employ) makes me nervous at the mixed messages.
The products some still in testing etc seem to be a good bet but the actions lately of company seem to throw up red flags.....

Do people around me inspire me financially? No. But I'm by far the oldest and only professional I work with directly on a regular basis. All of the staff are medical assistants and x-ray techs as young as 20. Some of them aren't great with money but some are doing okay with what they've got.

Everyone else I'm close with it's hard to imagine they've got anything put away at all. It's a little scary. But they do inspire and fulfill me in other ways, so I feel very lucky to have the friends I do!

Then after the stock had a pretty good jump they are asking more people to buy stock while I am all for a company encouraging employees to invest for the future ... i tend to get a bit of an ENRON vibe when they seem to be pushing their own stock so heavily.

Yeah, the stock thing sounds a little troubling.
