About this listen

 In our professional lives, just as in our personal ones, we all wear many hats. But how does juggling all those roles make us feel? For some, it can be a fulfilling challenge, while for others, it can lead to burnout and a loss of identity. This is especially true for managers, who often find themselves in the toughest spot. Think about your coworker who’s always balancing the demands of their team and their boss, acting as the go-between for frustrated employees and anxious higher-ups. In today’s business climate, it’s no wonder that middle managers — those caught in the middle — are at high risk of burnout. What are they up against? How can you spot a ‘sandwich employee’ in your company? Why is it called a ‘sandwich employee’? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
