The most essential component of a person’s life is his or her time at the workplace, and life turns meaningless once no job satisfaction is obtained. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some people argue the most essential thing of an individual's life is his or her time in the workplace, and life become meaningless if job satisfaction is not achieved.
