It's interesting to note people have always been taught if you work hard, you'll get ahead. This just isn't the case anymore, and this is a great example.
This guy worked his ass off and how is he rewarded? By being given tighter deadlines and more work. No promotion, no increase in pay. They just worked him to death until he broke in glorious fashion.
I just won't accept this lifestyle anymore. When I leave on Friday, my laptop and work phone stays off all weekend. When I leave the office, it takes an act of congress to get me to crack my laptop and do extra work after hours. I've seen it over and over again how it doesn't matter how hard you work, you need to know someone to get promoted. Yeah, office politics suck, but if you don't play the game and simply do your work and go home, you'll be a lot healthier in the long run.
- PLenz 13y agoAmen! I'm the same way - I know that I'll never climb the corporate ladder this way, but it does mean that I have a happy home life - I actually get to spend quality time with my wife, get to travel, tend my garden, and just be, well, happy. Isn't that the point of life?
