People Shared The 'Revealing Moment' When They Realized Their Job Sucks

Dan Price was born in 1984 and grew up in Idaho. He is known as the founder of a credit card processing and financial services company that believes in people. In 2004, he started a company with his brother, Lucas Price, called Gravity Payments.

Dan Price was only 20 years old when he founded the company and was still a student at Seattle Pacific University, but he fought to realize his vision, and guess what? He succeeded. In just four years from its foundation, his company became the largest credit card processor in Washington, with over 15,000 clients nationwide.

In 2015, he surprised everyone by raising the minimum salary for his employees to $70,000 and lowering his own from $1.1 million to $70,000. He wanted to ensure that every employee had decent earnings for life, even if it meant reducing his own.

This selfless act attracted immense public attention, but public comments and expectations weren't very supportive.

They called him an anti-CEO who would run his own company into bankruptcy. But that didn't discourage him from proceeding with his unselfish vision.

In the next six years, his company's revenue tripled, employees experienced a tenfold increase in the number of homes purchased, and his actions became a case study at Harvard Business School. Quite a success for investing in other people and their better future.

Recently, Dan Price posted an interesting question on his Twitter account, intending to connect with workers from all over the world and hear what they had to say about their working conditions. He sought to gain insight and understand what workers wanted in their careers.

He wondered when people realized they were unhappy in their jobs and what made them feel that way. Many people responded to his post, and we have selected 20 of them to share their "revealing moment."

If you ask employers about their workers, they will probably say that finding a good worker is quite hard. But when the work environment becomes disrespectful and people are insensitive to your personal needs, it is time for you to leave and search for a better one.

If you are lucky enough to work for a company like Dan's, you should give your best to stay there. It's not common for employers to care about their employees.

When everyone called his actions a failure, he had faith in his workers and in himself as well. In the end, they succeeded together.
