Is
Your Corporate Job Using You Up?
Corporate
Burnout
Do
you dread getting up to face another day
at work? You're not alone. In fact, you
may well be in the majority. Corporate
burnout is becoming so widespread throughout
the US and other countries that people
travel the country giving seminars on
how to handle job burnout and make workers
feel less stressed. Of course, you've
probably heard the drill-"Learn to
work smarter, not harder"... "Be
a team player"... "It came down
from the higher-ups"... "In
the end this will help us reach our goals
and we'll get fat bonuses."
Of course,
the goals set for many corporate employees
are so unrealistic that the bonuses they
hold out for never materialize. Perhaps
you hit 8 out of 9 targets, but sorry, you
don't get the prize because you didn't hit
that last, totally impossible ninth one.
Sometimes it feels like you're working in
some sort of absurd carnival sideshow. It's
no wonder you don't feel very committed
to a corporation that treats you like a
slave. How can you feel loyal when there's
so little appreciation?
Mega-Stress
The unrelenting stress of a high-pressure
job can lead to numerous health problems
as well- hypertension, heart attacks, backaches,
anxiety, headaches, depression, and even
addiction to drugs or alcohol, either as
a way to try to stay energized and "up"
to complete excessive workloads, or as a
self-medicating attempt to relax when you
finally have some time for yourself.
To add to
the stress, stories of layoffs by major
corporations are announced every month.
In 2006, 1,500,000 workers were pink-slipped
in mass layoffs ("mass" meaning
more than 50 employees at a time). Rumors
circulate constantly about what the top
management is doing now, what changes are
in the wind. Companies are "reorganizing."
They're "outsourcing" or selling
out to another company. Or they've gone
bankrupt-only to reappear overseas, employing
workers for a tiny percentage of their American
counterparts' salaries.
Fat
Cats and Sad Sacks
Average, everyday workers like you are the
ones who bear the brunt of these kinds of
changes. CEO's and other top executives
just keep rolling in the dough-even those
at companies you wouldn't think of as "blue
chip." For example, in 2005, the annual
pay package of Dollar General's CEO, David
Perdue, was $3,314,901 (as reported by The
Corporate Library). An American worker earning
an average salary would have to work
until the year 2135 to make what Perdue
makes in one year. But frankly, this guy
is small-time. The average total compensation
for a CEO of a Standard & Poor's 500
company in 2005 was $13.51 million-over
four times what Perdue made, and a 16% raise
over the year before. Did you get a 16%
raise recently?
Like many
of your co-workers, you probably feel angry,
undervalued, underpaid, and exhausted when
you think about stories like these. Few
salaried employees in corporate America
work a traditional 40-hour week. Many put
in 50, 60, even 70 hours to meet the demands
of their superiors. Hourly workers are cut
off at 40 hours or less so the company can
avoid paying overtime-and you know who takes
up the slack. (Meanwhile, those hourly workers
may have to work an additional job-at straight-time
pay, of course.)
The "blame
culture" that has developed in our
society extends into the corporate world
as well. ("It's her fault we
have to work so late. If only she'd do her
job like I do!") Feelings of competition
and worries about favoritism increase feelings
of anger and powerlessness.
What's
the Alternative?
There is a way NOT to let all these other
people control your life and hold power
over your economic survival and lifestyle.
You can take control of your own life by
becoming your own boss. Ironically, as you've
become more and more disenchanted with your
corporate job, you have also been learning
what kind of job you need to be happy.
Are these
some of the aspects you would include on
your list of ideal job conditions?
The
freedom to set your own hours.
Choosing
how to handle situations yourself instead
of deferring to a "company policy"
that you find
ridiculous.
The
liberty to spend time with your friends
and family without having to beg for time
off.
Working
in comfortable clothing in a location you
choose.
Excellent
pay that is determined by the amount of
work you put in.
You're
steering your own course-no worries about
someone else determining your future.
Have
You Got What it Takes?
You already know you deserve more than your
corporate employer will ever provide. Ironically,
during all those excessive hours of work
for them, you've honed valuable business
skills that you can put to work as you build
your own business. The difference is, you
will reap the rewards. It's kind of like
being your very own CEO.
As
long as you have a genuine desire
to empower yourself, to live the kind of
life you've always dreamed of, we can show
you our easy system that will start you
on the road to success. This is a legitimate
business opportunity that has the potential
to bring you more wealth and independence
than you've ever dreamed of. As long as
you've got a computer and a phone, the only
other things you are going to need are a
longing for personal freedom and a desire
for financial security. You've already got
what it takes-so fill out the web form below
for more information. It's absolutely free...and
it could be the first step toward and it
could be the first step toward stomping
out that corporate burnout fire forever.
