Turning 40

Well I finally made it to 40 the other day and have to make a decision on whether to return back to the corporate world or completely change direction.

Having had some time off recently I tend to agree with Sean’s observations (I used to work for Sean).

Somehow employers and employees should look at devising a sensible approach for people to take sabbaticals every X years without impacting corporate productivity or the individual feeling that their job is under threat. I have a “back of the envelope” hunch that this would lead to increased productivity and more sense of “self worth” – especially in larger firms. Will look into research in this areas as there are immediate issues which spring to mind (e.g. lock in’s etc.).
