In today’s workplace the number of problem-related words like ‘stress-related illness’,‘burnout’, and ‘work-life balance’ have become quite common. What this simply means is organizations are at last recognizing the importance of such things. If you have noticed, today’s hectic workplaces have become extremely humorless sapping the energy of everyone right from the janitor to the CEO. For example, when was the last time you had some continuous weeks or months of fun and humor in the office?
However, I am not talking about those occasional and rare humorous situations of exchanging some silly jokes or laughing at a Dilbert cartoon, but a continuous period of workplace enjoyment when you did not dread that Monday morning alarm. A period when you used to go home relaxed and content instead of planning to update your resume. Probably never. But, do you remember the amount of fun you used to have as kids?
As children, you would laugh or giggle dozens of times an hour. But, as you grew up the laughter reduced dramatically. By the time you became 30 years good laughter and fun disappeared totally. You started avoiding humor and fun as childish stuff. Soon the fun is totally gone from your life, and all you think about is becoming more and more serious to an extent that a frown can result in a lawsuit.
