Work seems broken and at times, unfixable. No matter where you turn, consultants, thought leaders and academics have advice on how companies can make work better (or at least suck less) but yet, toxic workplaces continue.
Today’s guest, Laurie Ruettimann, has a different opinion – we can fix work by fixing ourselves. That means putting yourself first…before the company you work for.
Laurie Ruettimann is a former human resources leader turned writer, speaker, and entrepreneur. She’s been featured on major American media platforms, keynotes events all around the world, founded GlitchPath, an early-stage start-up focused on project management, and started her podcast in April 2018 called “Let’s Fix Work.”
In today’s interview, Laurie tells us why she thinks most jobs suck, why we need to give HR a break and what we can do to fix ourselves. One thing you’ll realize very quickly in my interview is that she is a no nonsense, straight forward kind of person. According to Laurie, if you always hang your hat and your identity on your career, even in a positive way, at some point it’s going to break your heart.
If you’re feeling a tad underappreciated at work, this is a great episode for you!
