Revolt? Mutiny? Whimpered Submissiveness?

This is directed at someone who is not the CEO, but aspires to be one one day.

If you are at Vice-President or higher echelon, DO YOU find no time to play golf? Or chill out in some other way.

If you are an Asst Mgr or above, do you have a 12 hour workday, and at times longer; with most Saturdays and even some Sundays put in work. 

If yes, take it that you boss DOES NOT want you to grow. Growing needs conceiving creative solutions to work problems and business challenges. Growing requires time for reading (and surfing on) of industry trends, business biographies, newspapers and magazines. Growing demands steady enhancement of learning via various interactions at professional fora and arming with certifications. Growing needs networking with industry peers.

If your boss insists that you primarily put time in transactional issues and not strategic, he leaves no time for you to rejuvenate and come enthused day in day out to work, it is time you change:
yourself/ boss/ organization culture.

Which one is it going to be....
