Work is killing me!

Jobs are Disposable. YOU aren't.

When Work Works: Advocating for Flexibility 

Do you need or want traditional flextime, in which you select arrival and departure times and then stick with them? Or daily flextime, varying your arrival and departure times daily? Do you want to work at home occasionally or on a regular basis? Do you want to reduce your hours over the course of a week, or during certain times of the year? There are many types of workplace flexibility—for more information, go to http://www.whenworkworks.org/. 

How Can I Change Jobs in Tough Times?

Uncover the hidden job market. In a down economy, fewer than 20% of jobs are publicly announced. Uncover unadvertised openings through networking and by contacting potential employers directly. When possible, register on companies' web sites to receive e-mail updates about new openings that fit your experience and skills.                                                              Or work for the goverment.  Federal, state and local governments are hiring new workers at the fastest pace in six years, helping offset job losses in the private sector.  USAJOBS is the official job site of the US Federal Government.  It's your one-stop source for Federal jobs and employment information.  Visit http://www.usajobs.gov/.                                                                                                  Get the cobwebs off your resume. Tailor your resume content and format to highlight your best skills.  If you are looking to change careers, focus on the format that emphasizes your transferable skills, not just your current job responsibilities.  We all have a list of strengths and weaknesses.  If there is an area of your resume that is weak, do what it takes to improve it.  Learn a second language, get a degree or certificate, join a professional organization.

No Job Is Worth This

Most of us have had bad bosses, clueless bosses, incompetent bosses. But some bosses are worse than just inept jerks and cross the line into sociopathy. Award-winning filmmaker Beverly Peterson shines a light into the darkest corner of the work environment by exploring workplace bullying. (See episodes 1 and 2 of her documentary “No Job Is Worth This” below.)  Peterson said, “When I first started making this documentary about workplace bullies, experts, politicians and advocates kept warning me how hard it would be to make audiences understand that it’s not about bad bosses, long hours or even lousy managers who curse or scream to make a point. This is about those rogue bosses who have slithered their way through the cracks in the corporate ladder. The ones determined to target one employee after another and emotionally destroy them. In the school yard we learned to stand up to a bully. But in the workplace, the bully isn’t looking for the weakest. They’re looking for the strongest and the same approach might cost you your job, benefits, savings, and your health.”
