A Wayfair Engineer on the Power of Self-Motivation

Meet Joe Lovell. At Wayfair he's a QA software engineer, but outside of work, fitness is his passion. You can find him at the gym, training to get stronger every day.

“Self-motivation is something that translates to everything I do in life,” said Joe. “It's me against me at the end of the day. I can push myself as hard as I want to. Anyone can tell you what to do, but it's up to you to push yourself. At Wayfair, we are challenged day in and day out to push the envelope and drive our own personal growth.  Fitness and work can present different challenges but the mindset of ‘I’m not going to quit until this is done to the best of my ability’ is something that I take a lot of pride in overall.”

Watch Joe speak to the power of self motivation and a positive mindset in our Out Of Office video series.

At Wayfair, we believe strongly in our people and want to ensure each and every employee is empowered and positioned to bring their authentic self to work every day. Our Out Of Office series highlights the passions and hobbies of our employees – the things that “make us tick” – that allow us to tackle challenges, solve complex problems, and make meaningful changes, together.
