The ERE article explores the idea that not all jobs need to be highly meaningful or fulfilling. Instead, it argues that it's okay for some roles to be simply adequate or "meh," as they can still serve important functions for both individuals and organizations. It suggests re-evaluating the pressure to find profound meaning in every job, acknowledging that some positions provide stability, financial security, or work-life balance, and can be fulfilling in those ways. By accepting this perspective, employers and employees might find greater satisfaction and reduce the stress associated with work.
