- The ability to love the work that I do
- The ability to work on interesting problems that provide a challenge.
- The ability to surround myself with people I respect and admire
- The ability to respect my employer
- A fair trade between the hours I put in, and the compensation for those hours
- The ability to make that choice myself
- Doing boring work, that I hate to do
- Being the only point of failure for a project, or not having backup for my position available
- Being surrounded by people that I can't or don't admire or respect
- Working for a company that I am ashamed of
- Inflexible scheduling, or the inability to take time away if needed
- an unfair relationship between the hours I work, and the compensation received
