THE WORKERS BRUNT

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?

Fulfilment depends on the goals it seeks to  achieve.

My sense of satisfaction from a task well done is contingent upon achieving its goal. Some energy-intensive jobs broke me instead of making me feel completely satisfied. In addition, a great deal of them left me feeling beyond fulfilled. When I find the goal of a task more enticing than the energy required to do it, I have a personal predisposition to work hard and diligently in order to achieve a successful output. I feel satisfied when an activity, job, or piece of work achieves its original goal.

My siblings and I assisted our dad in farming when we were little. Our parents would wake us up very early in the morning so that we may go to the

The satisfaction stemmed from knowing that I had finished a task assigned to me and assisted my parents with an errand, thus the effort required was equal to or less than the desired result.

But when I weigh the amount of effort I currently put into my work against its goal and its results, I feel unfulfilled. With two young daughters, my partner and I are trying our best to raise them as best we can. Because of the high energy and health dangers associated with my warehouse job, I took it on to support my family. Every day and every month, I come to feel broken and unfulfilled because of the salary

because there is little to no leftover money from the pay cheque after paying the rent. My rent alone is £1400–1450 a month, even with an income of 1800–1900 pounds.

I have a monthly council tax of 150 pounds. Even with my spouse’s assistance, we still struggle to make ends meet because we all have water and electricity bills, children’s school fees, food expenses, clothing expenses, and prescription costs, on top of my earnings. 

As a result, every day after putting in long hours of work, I feel empty and shattered rather than fulfilled since the energy I put into my profession does not match or accomplish its goal, which is to support my family. 

The reasoning for my initial  assertion that the accomplishment of a sense of fulfilment following a challenging task depends on the goals it seeks to achieve.

When hard work does not equate to high pay. The workers bear the brunt.
