Survivors

Do any of us think of ourselves as a survivor? At first, the term feels good--you've gone through a lot and you're still standing. But looking deeper, I think it's not a good thing.

Survivors (in business) are the people who have hidden under their desk for the last 15 years and are known as "Poor Harry" or "Poor Linda." They are the ones who talk mostly about the old days or denigrate their company implying that they could have done more but were never given the chance.

Surviving a war or an animal attack is one thing. You truly are a victim. Surviving your job is an entirely different issue. Do something about it. Now.
