Office life is better than ever before, but why dissatisfaction is rising? Lucy Kellaway writes: “Now, not only are offices bright and beautiful, we do not even have to go to them if we do not feel like it — we can work at home instead. Bosses have been taught not to shout. There are gyms and free fruit. And if you happen to be a woman, things have improved beyond recognition.” So why is work making us miserable? “The biggest reason for unhappiness is that we expect too much. Office jobs may have improved, but our expectations have far outstripped them.” (ft.com)
