Workers feel overworked, overwhelmed
Posted by Jason Butler at 4:44 PM

MSNBC reports on a recent Harris study detailing the impact employer squeezing has on employees.

With many companies extremely reluctant to add jobs, nearly two-thirds of workers surveyed by Harris Interactive say their workload has increased over the past six months — with more than 10 percent of workers asserting they are putting in an extra 10 hours a week or more. And they are not happy about it. More than half answered no when asked, “Do you feel your employer appreciates and rewards you well?”
You're under pressure. Your hiring managers are certainly under pressure. Is anyone happy?

More to the point: what will happen if the long-predicted employee exodus picks up steam in the fourth quarter and in 2005? Will you be one of the preferred employers, or will there be clouds of dust where your best workers used to sit?
