As someone who has had both good jobs AND bad jobs, I can say that when you have a good one you are extremely grateful.

It just makes work and life so much better when you work for good people and you are empowered to do your best job and they appreciate you.

Unfortunately, as you probably already know, many jobs are not like that. But the folks we’re about to hear from seem to have landed some good gigs. And they shared what empowers them at their jobs.
