Unhappy at Work? This Quiz Will Help You Figure Out Why

The truth is out there.

Know you're unhappy at work, but can't quite put your finger on why?
Maybe it's a variety of factors, or maybe it's one big one (ahem, your boss). When you're unhappy at work, it can consume your entire life, making it hard to even understand what the problem is. Sometimes, you're so in it that you can't see the forest for the trees and identify what you need to change, let alone build an action plan.
That's where we come in. We broke down the most common causes of unhappiness at work and created a simple quiz to help you figure out where you might fall. The best part? We've mined our extensive archive of articles, interviews, videos, worksheets, and courses to create customized solutions (or at least starting points) for each potential pain point.
Of course, each situation is incredibly nuanced and unique, so it's worth noting that these are just suggestions. By no means do we think that something as complex and emotional as work unhappiness can really be boiled down to its most essential elements. Our intention is to give you a lifeline, a starting point, or even just that sigh of relief that comes from knowing that you're not alone.
Want more? We're rolling out a bunch of these free mini-resources on every topic imaginable. Or head to our resource library to download longer guides on life's pressing questions (also for free 'cause why not?).
