. One of the issues that is clear to me when it comes to career resilience is that we need to build our connections to other people. Humans are social creatures, built for attachment and primed from birth to connect with others, and the more isolated and alone we feel, the more fragile and rigid we become. Caring for and being cared for by other people is critical to our emotional and mental well-being. .

Sadly, a 2013 college graduate writes: So I am coming to you for some advice. I started a job on the Monday after graduation. And I can honestly say it is the most boring thing I have done in my life. I almost dread going to work in the morning and it is only day 4 tomorrow. 8 hour days seem to last forever and I just know it is not going to get better. However, I dont just want to give up right away because I know it may reflect bad on me on when I search for jobs in the future.

We’ve all done it — once a year, we set goals we don’t revisit until the next year rolls around. It’s why performance management doesn’t seem to work. It also makes it really easy for people to skate along, doing well but perhaps not going above and beyond. Measuring great performance requires understanding where the baseline is and enforcing that every day.

Nearly everyone has a story about someone at work who has been rude. Perhaps it was the boss who sent a snippy e-mail or the co-worker who made snarky comments, but workplace civility often seems to have gone the way of the typewriter. The deeper issue with workplace rudeness is how it affects the bottom-line success of a business. A 2011 study found that workplace rudeness caused 48% of workers to deliberately slack off and even affected their interactions with customers.

On May 8, 2013, the U.S. House approved a bill that would allow private-sector employees to take compensatory or comp time instead of overtime pay when they work more than 40 hours a week. Though the bill is said to have little chance of passing in the Senate, it has raised questions about the legalities and merits of offering comp, or compensatory time, in lieu of overtime pay. For now, employers must comply with the rules as they are laid out by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Bring those aspects together with a thank you and you have delivered a home run. In my 20+ years of working, the most meaningful “thank you” I have received was incredibly personal, and helped me understand how I help others achieve their personal and professional goals. For me – it was a home run.
