Stressed, depressed but well-dressed

Hmm, are you stressed and depressed when you look at your salary slip every month? You probably have the feeling that even if you are highly skilled, committed, pull your weight and meet deadlines, it seems the boss doesn't review your performance positively so you can forget about a bonus. If there is nothing to lose, you can always pull a few strings (provided you have any), think on your feet and do freelance work or set up a company. The advantages seem to abound: you have flexible working hours, you work from home and the most important - job satisfaction. Whatever your job is, don't forget about a reasonable work-life balance.
