"Each of us is responsible for our own workload. It’s our duty to tell our bosses when we can’t handle more work. If they refuse to care, then we can always jump on LinkedIn and change jobs."

Sorry, Tim, but I'm calling bullshit on this statement. After 50 years in the workforce I will state categorically that 8.5 of 10 employers will keep loading up that employee with tasks until he folds. And 9 out of 10 employees will keep taking it if their financial and familial situations require them to keep a job, and keep money coming in no matter what.

Your perspective is almost whimsical. If I don't like the job, if I feel overworked and under-appreciated, hell, I'll just chuck it and get a better one.

Historically, single males make this kind of statement. Those with enough savings, or access to a parent's bedroom and mom's cooking will jettison a "bad" job and spend time getting a good one.

I like you Tim, but this line soured the whole article for me. Giving bosses a pass and putting the burden on the enployee - the corporate sherpa - to know when he/she has had enough, no way. Unrealistic! That's making it okay to use people like Shire horses.

Farmer: Yeah I had old Billy pulling 2000 pounds on that sled, but the bugger should have told me it was too much for him. Now, I'll have to get another horse.

Sad.
