loved this article. i 'hit that slide' about a month ago. start a new job today. a lot of owners/bosses right now think that because we are in a recession economy, they can treat their employees poorly. my boss found out that wasn't the case. apparently he would cuss and yell at people, something i had never experienced...well, a few weeks back he went on a tear on the phone. after a few yelled sentences at me saying it was all 'my fault' when in fact it was something completely out of my hands (i had warned him this account loss was on its way months ago because of a change at the account) i calmly said 'lets' just say next friday will be my last day'. funny, he stopped yelling immediately. felt like the weight of the world came off my shoulders at that moment.
i also just heard that after productivity had increased over the last few months, it has now gone down. people are burning out, which is something i can relate to. working like a dog, and never truly being off work, when you have a phone you constantly have to worry about, you will burn out. just that most of us don't get to make an exit that makes the news!
