Oct 10Knowledge@Wharton published an article called Plateauing: Redefining Success at Work. It talks about the endless work day, and how employees are making decisions about reaching a career plateau. They’re happy about it. The article’s lede (reg. req’d):
As an executive coach who works with corporations, Monica McGrath has her ear to the ground. And what she is hearing is this: A number of men and women in middle management are increasingly reluctant to take the next step in their careers because the corporate ladder is not as appealing as it used to be, and the price to climb it is too high. “These people are still ambitious, and they are still driving. They just aren’t driving for the same things they were driving for 15 years ago,” she says.
