Am I the only one who grows tired of job advice that's only directed at the extreme over-achievers? 90% of the working stiffs out there AREN'T reforming the company, driving up profits 300%, and introducing the boss to Vikram Yoga. Most of us go to work, do our job, and go home. And despite the blogosphere's rampant idealism regarding the ability to achieve your best if you just put your mind to it, the vast majority of people are not in positions that even ALLOW them to create such amazing results.
Howabout not focusing on people who could walk away from any job, regardless of how they left, and still be considered an extremely valuable recruit? Howabout a few articles for the rest of us that are simply average -- we're the ones, after all, who need the advice the most, but profit from this type of non-real-life situation article the least.
