Take care of ‘the other bottom line’
Question:
"With nearly 30 years of professional experience behind me, I find myself at something of a crossroads. Originally credentialed as an engineer, I’ve secured a number of promotions over the years and now function more as a manager than as an individual contributor. Over the past five years, I’ve been challenged by upper management to do more with less. As a result, I find myself working longer and longer work weeks with no end in sight. I find myself enjoying my work less and less and wondering more and more about what lies ahead. I used to enjoy coming to work. Now, I feel an increasing sense of dread every Monday morning. Frankly, I feel stuck and don’t know how to get unstuck. I’d appreciate any insights you can offer for how I might get out of this predicament."
