Deep dives
The Corporate Cage and Its Impact
The concept of the 'corporate cage' is explored as a mental state rather than a physical constraint imposed by an employer. Many professionals feel confined within their jobs, often experiencing misery and dissatisfaction, with a staggering 82% of men disliking their work. This discontent not only affects their mental health but also spills over into their personal lives and relationships. Acknowledging this reality is the first step towards reclaiming agency and designing a work-life balance that aligns with personal values.
