Riassunto
PERHAPS THIS DESCRIBES YOU. You are an aging boomer or a mid-career professional. You have had a long career with a couple of different large companies, steadily climbing the corporate ladder. Maybe you had a few slips along the way. You have a mortgage, a family and a few dollars in investments. Not enough to retire on, but an okay sum. Life is good. You are actively engaged in playing the big company game, a little fat, dumb and happy. Four weeks of vacation, a great 401K, stock options?and then the word starts filtering through the ranks that your company is restructuring ...again! Change is good, you think to yourself. You call your boss and ask whom you are going to be reporting to this week. He responds, ?No one. You are getting the package.? Packages were always supposed to be a good thing, right? They are especially good when they are brightly wrapped under the Christmas tree or given on a birthday. However when the words ?you are getting the package? are aimed at you, those words take on a whole new meaning. Perhaps the words ?Thank God? slip from your lips. Perhaps the words are more like ?Oh my God!? You may feel happy, sad, excited, angry, concerned, relieved or all of the above. You have decisions to make, and your thoughts are whirring like a helicopter about to take off. And then it hits you. You don?t ever want to work for anyone else again! You can take your skills, experience and knowledge and go to work for yourself. Haven?t you been telling yourself for years that you can do it? If only you had the chance! Guess what? You now have the chance. You are free and clear. Some people aspire to self-employment; others have it thrust upon them. It has just been thrust upon you. Congratulations! You?ve just bought yourself a job.
