Overworked and overpaid: the American manager

Article Abstract:

Many top managers in the US receive very large salaries. However, this does not mean that they are happy. Indeed, many are coming under growing pressure as they are forced to work longer hours and to relinquish power to semi-autonomous teams. Job security is diminishing, while career progression can no longer be taken for granted. Managers no longer regard themselves as belonging to their company, and increasingly look on their role as that of a mercenary. Managers regard corporate pride and trust in their chief executive's decisions are being more important than their salary.
