There was this article yesterday about an HP staff who died because of stress. Her name is May. I think just last week, she blogged about how overloaded she was at work. *Kinilabutan talaga ako sa story, I felt very timely ang decision ko, not that I am comparing her work load to mine, hers was monster work load."
I couldn't help but think that most of us live to work.
I live in a country where the work environment is "matira matibay". We bring home work, we vpn late at night or early in the morning. We work on the weekends. We eat on our workstation or skip lunch/dinner (ouch!) to finish a deadline. I can list a hundred of things we do to abuse ourselves all for the glory of our job and money.
Let's think hard if it's all worth it. Let us not end up like May. Let our boss' know that we don't live just to work for them and the company.
May, may your soul rest in peace.
