I looked for the 10 "things" on Chris's blog, as it didn't stand out I began to wonder why didn't you just list them in your article? Save us all some time, link to other worthy sites, but don't tease. I've spent too much time on this already.

I love Patrick Lencioni's book 3 Signs of a Miserable Job.
One of his signs is anonymity. In fact, he recently spoke to our company and said that was probably the top worst mistake companies can make - when their employees don't feel known by their employer. When there is no connection.
This is all from the employer's standpoint, though. If bosses aren't making the effort to know their people, they will be miserable.
So it is interesting to bring up the employee side. I would venture to say that even the shyset of employees (the ones who don't toot their own horn) desire not to be anonymous by their boss. But maybe the difference is, they aren't proactive about making this not so.
