It’s one thing for someone to say they aren’t head over heels in love with their job. There are plenty of American workers who simply feel “meh” about their jobs. But when someone specifically feels like their job is making the world a worse place, you can’t help but wonder what kind of work they do that is having such a negative impact on the world around us.
