They said we were to reach our goals or die trying.
No, I'm not a firefighter, I'm not a doctor, I'm not a policeman.
I'm in sales. I sell advertising.
I get that they're trying to motivate us, encourage us, get us to work harder and better so they can make more money. That's the American dream, isn't it? Work super hard and make money. But at what cost? When is it too much?
No, I'm not physically putting my body in harms way. I'm not being tortured, I'm not being poisoned. It's just time. Time spent doing the work and worrying about whether I did it right. It's time spent feeling lost and alone when things go wrong. It's time spent selling someone products I don't believe in anymore.
In the end, all I have to give is my time. I may not be facing a bullet, but if I spend all of my living time dealing with this, I am going to die trying to sell advertising.
That does not motivate me at all.
