Further education architect, fully qualified lawyer,...

My husband is also involved in something like that. A lot is similar in the authorities (me). The latter has the advantage that you are not under the pressure that is put on you in the corporation. You have a different kind of pressure.
But many comparisons are similar, employees, team leaders, hierarchy... there are always cases where a colleague dies in the toilet, heart attack or a similar occupational disease. Corporate-related?!

Sometimes I think a job with less responsibility plus a side job earning 450€ at the bakery or the supermarket around the corner is more balanced and pleasant than such a crappy team leader position where you still get praised.


Administrative employees can also be found in the police, also in the interesting jobs.

That’s easy to say. I don’t believe that. As a commercial employee with qualifications and professional experience (also within a corporation) it is very difficult to find a position at 50+. That is the experience of my husband’s former colleagues who have settled for that. The equation doesn’t work at the moment.

My opinion: administration, commercial employees, media, marketing, IT, medical assistants, etc.: all professions where the companies can be changed and which can contribute a lot to inner satisfaction.

yes, in our corporation I sometimes feel like I'm working at an overpaid government agency.

To get anything done productively we need 4 instant water heater teams and 1345 DIN A4 pages filled out. It doesn't matter whether it's just a headline in a chain customer letter or the implementation of a new product.
