The last thing you want to do is go to work for a sick company
that in turn is going to make you stressed out, bummed out,
and burnt out. And the worst thing you can continue to do is
stay within an organization that has a corporate personality
disorder.
My Corporate Personality Disorder Check-Up (CPD
Check-Up) gives you 20 key things that MUST be scored high
within a workplace if you're going to stay healthy and happy in
the place.
If you're applying for a job, ask the potential employer how
they're doing on the Check-Up. Ask for proof, such as the
results of a recent personnel survey. Say you want to know the
answers because you're excited about working in a place that
values its employees, that is interested in hearing feedback,
and that respects you wanting to have a balance between
work and personal life.
If the potential employer finds a problem with these questions,
then go someplace else! It is a sure sign that there will be
problems ahead.
If you're already in a job where you're feeling burnt out and
down, don't blame yourself! It is the organization that's crazy -
not you! Take time to appreciate your strengths and skills, to
find plenty of balance between work and personal life, to build
networks of supportive people, and to continue to do the best
you can, knowing that you're doing just fine, it's the
dysfunctional organization that's behaving badly.
But if you continue to be beat up by the corporate bully-boy
organization, then make plans to get out. A job that pays
less in money but gives your far more in personal satisfaction
is a job where your health will improve, your relationships with
others will thrive, and where you'll live a lot longer!
