Have you ever worked at a job that you had mentally checked out of? It's not great, right? You're no longer invested in much of anything in the job anymore. You don't really bother to get closer with any of your coworkers. You're literally just there to do what you're asked and then get a paycheck.

Maybe you know what that's like from personal experience. If so, this article isn't about judging you. It's about helping you. Dealing with this is rough, but now is as good a time as any to overhaul the culture in your workplace and help your team get engaged and motivated.
