A lot of people especially in high- stress jobs, never find fulfillment at work. This is due to the work culture at several high- pressure fields, where promotions, prestige and any raise are commensurate with the number of hours clocked in the office. Individuals also see themselves as part of a different socioeconomic class, when such high- pressure jobs get paired with a big paycheck. Companies need to tweak their talent management systems in case they want to work on improving the mental health scenario for their employees. But the workers themselves need to take steps, starting with ensuring the availability of some free time. The start made needs to be small. One needs also to rebuild a network. The employee must be clear on aspects that are important for him/ her. The job title is an illusion, so he/ she needs to look beyond it.
