What is the difference between a lousy job, a
good job and a great job?

A lousy job is one where you are underemployed, receive
low wages and work less than 30 hours when you want
to work full time.
A good job is one , where you are working full time in an
organization, with 30 plus work hours a week and a living
wage pack.
A great job has all the qualities of a good job but with
one difference – employees are meaningfully engaged
with fulfilling work and they experience individual growth
and development at the workplace.
