About this listen

Worthy Work is a work design studio for healthcare pros. Hosted by Drew Weilage.


Healthcare changed. The whole world, too. But how we work mostly hasn't.


And that means how "we" conceptualize, organize, manage, and ultimately do our work is a mismatch for the environment it's happening in.


Worthy Work provides tools, practices, frameworks, mental models, resources, curated links, guides, products, perspectives, insights, and support for designing work worthy of your care.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • The Bummer of Job Suck & What To Do About It
    Jan 19 2025

    How's work?


    I've asked that question a lot over the last few years. And you know what strikes me? The number of people who answered with anything better than "fine" is depressingly small. So much so that I named the feeling these folks were feeling: job suck.


    Job suck is a subjective experience of discontent arising from a job, or facets of a job, that fail to meet psychological needs, expectations, or values.


    The biggest problem with a discontented workforce, in my view, isn't the harm it does to an organization's productivity, but the resulting waste in human potential that comes with just getting by, and the unrelenting toll that takes on our spirits.


    So I recorded an introductory podcast to explain it. Listen and then explore the get-to-it guide at worthywork.work to begin fortifying yourself against it.
