Survey Finds Half Of All Employees Think about Quitting

AOL - On the heels of Employee Appreciation Day on March 4, new research shows that many employees have more than a few complaints about their jobs. According to a survey from MarketTools, a leading feedback-management and market-research firm, most employees don't feel very appreciated. In fact, nearly 50 percent have thought about quitting and 21 percent have applied for another job in the past six months. To no one's surprise, the top reason employees are unhappy is that they're not making enough money -- 47 percent are unhappy with their salaries, according to the survey. Other leading causes of dissatisfaction:

• Workload (24 percent)
• Lack of opportunities for advancement (21 percent)
• Employee's manager or supervisor (21 percent)

Business owners may not even know their staffs are unhappy -- 72 percent of the businesses surveyed don't formally seek employee feedback (or the staff is unaware that a formal program exists).


Just to be clear here, they only surveyed half the employees, right? It's not that the other 50% haven't thought about quitting, its just that you didn't get around to asking them? Because 50% seems low, I don't care who the employer.  Up until yesterday I would have thought NASA was a dream job for everyone that works there, then I find out Astronauts are snorting lines of coke just to make it through the day.  These guys literally get to walk in space, you'd think that would be enough to get anyone jacked up for their day, I guess not. 

But here's the real question in all this, and I'm sure coke fiends are waiting for this answer as well, do they take the coke to space with them?  How does that work? Wouldn't you just have coke dust floating around breaking all the electrical instruments?  Or, and here's the really important part of the question, has NASA invented Space Coke? Some kind of gravity free cocaine miracle that they're going to make a fortune off selling on the streets.
