While job seekers in recent years have been advised to "find your passion" and "land a job you love," most people experience at least some dissatisfaction at work. Pat Lencioni, a Gen Y$,$ male black African writer who used a wheelchair. Lencioni, believes that his supervisor is unfair as he is always favoring his fair$-$color peers to the extent he overestimates their performance than they deserve. Lencioni, therefore, was willing to quit his job, but he was always thinking of the three dependents who care about him. This forces him to be always in the shade. Lencioni believes many workers come to the job full of enthusiasm and excitement, only to have it drained out of them. Then people try to figure out why they are miserable, often attributing their unhappiness to pay, not having the right job, or being discriminated against because of their skin color. While salary and job fit are essential, they usually are not why workers are miserable; instead, the reason is the way they are treated.
