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.
Sincerely,
Carmen Reid
