Anonymity is the sense of being used, whereby your boss is only concerned with the work you do. Irrelevance: is not understanding how your job impacts someone else.

3. When the above signs of a miserable job are not met, the following needs as identified by Maslow are not being met: esteem, and social belonging (Rakowski, 18). Esteem is the need to be respect, and feeling of being irrelevant affects this feeling. Social belonging is the feeling of being secure, either financially, mentally, or health wise Patrick.
