Is Keeping Your Corporate Job The Poison Chalice?

Filed Under Category Great Entrepreneurs, Inspiring Media, Philosophical Snippets by Daniel Priestley

This month is the third solid month of mass layoffs since the house of corporate cards began to fall. Hundreds of thousands of highly skilled people find themselves looking for work, hoping for a fast break that will prevent them from defaulting on the loans that prop up the “good life”.

But as the shocking news spreads about these disastrous layoffs lets not forget that behind it all there is a whopping big secret…

…Hardly anyone really wants their corporate job to begin with!

Movies are made, books are written and songs are sung about people who break free from the office shackles to pursue a greater and more fulfilling purpose with their life.

They go on to start their own small businesses, run marathons through the Sahara, volunteer for charity, act in a musical, audition for a play or even sell widgets on ebay between play time with the kids.

Sometimes people need to be pushed from the nest in order to discover their brave spark and to see their value.

I can guarantee that there will be some green eyes peering at those “unfortunate folk” who are packing their desks and taking their first steps into the uncertain, bold new world that lies beyond the homogeneous days of meetings and reports in a corporate cubicle.

    I so much agree with this post. I have just been made redundant – my last day at work was 31st of July and I can’t say that I am that sorry.

    Even before I packed my stuff – I was already making plans for first of all a break, to explore some of the things I always wanted to do but kept putting off. Spending time with friends and families, reskilling and maybe doing something else entirely different from what I have been doing.

    My big excitement though, is my immediate plans to set up as a virtual office assistant offering administrative and business solutions to other self employed and small businesses.

    My advice to anyone who is made redundant is to look for the endless possibilities that exists!

    If the truth be know, as I said my goodbyes to the people I left behind on Friday 31st, I felt extremely sorry, not for myself, but for them!
