Millions in 'wrong job' says poll

Well we know that. Duh. This doesn't explain why though. It's not as a result of poor careers advice. It's as a direct result of having jobs in the first place, or more specifically, job descriptions.
As you'll know from Change Magic, the very notion of a job description means that you're squashing and squeezing people; telling them their skills are worthless in some areas, telling them they don't have enough skills in others. No wonder people feel like they're in the wrong place.
One in five apparently. 20% of people feel like they're in the wrong job now. That's 20 people out of 100 who are looking out of the window today, wishing they were somewhere else.
On the other hand, 80 people out of 100 are in the right place - that must be a good thing?
