The National Workplace Happiness Survey 2014 has discovered a new kind of happiness and it's called "Under Happy".

The overall workplace happiness index surveyed more than 5,000 employees in Singapore. The results? They scored an average 59 out of 100, which made them "Under Happy". The other two bands were: "Happy" and "Unhappy".

To gel with "Under Happy", perhaps "Happy" should be replaced with "Over Happy" and in lieu of "Unhappy", why not try "6 ft Under Happy"?

Organised by Singapore Human Resources Institute and consulting firm Align Group and conducted between April and August this year, the survey wanted to create a national benchmark using scientific measurements.

And in the process, "Under Happy" was founded. Maybe the organisers wanted happy to be a common denominator among the three bands.

Netizens are certainly confused.

Here are some categories to consider for future surveys.

1. Paid, Under Paid, Unpaid.

2. Worked, Under Worked, Unworked.

3. Kenged, Under Kenged, Unkenged.

4. Promoted, Under Promoted, Unpromoted.

5. Thanked, Under Thanked, Unthanked.

Anyhow, the happiest lot comes from the charity and social services, and education sector.

The "Unhappy" ones? People from logistics and supply chain, and banking and finance.
