Chronicles of alienated labor, by Aline Torterat, occupational psychologist: "I want it to 
stop, I feel aggressive," Yvon[1] commercial setting. ---- I'm off work for two months 
after an interview with the HR department. "Management deviant" Has she said ... I just 
did what they asked me to do, and now it is I who am. I'm in this box for 27 years, until 
then it was, but since the crisis, companies, merchants and artisans do not buy our 
services. They are tough and we did fuck out eight times out of ten. So they invented a 
new organization, we have specialized vendors. Products more suited to each customer is 
presented, but it greatly complicates the preparation of visits. Must make a detailed 
study before. Obviously, all off time in the facility. Commercial work as hard as me, at 
least 60 hours per week, but hey, we did not say no to social status that went with it, 
eh? ...

And with us there is no prospecting, they leave with the client file. It is true that you 
have everything ready in the morning before leaving. And objectives in real time, red or 
green depending on the results is displayed. Myself I happened to be red ... There was a 
colleague indelicate statement, on which I was asked to apply an "action plan". Basically 
it's warnings, pressures and company until he left or dismissal. I too am tired, I did a 
burnout there a year and a half. I was discomfort abruptly without warning and I could not 
keep up. I had to stop, I who had stopped five weeks in 35 years of work ...

Since I wake up every night, anxious ... I'm exhausted all the time. I did not ask this 
kind of question before. I always worked hard. I had always been in the top five France 
... And it, there two months, the HR gave me a "warning". I felt let down. All because of 
this colleague whom I have simply applied what I learned in training ... And the steward 
who meddles in everything! He told the HR colleague had suicidal leaving an interview with 
me. Then they cover up there and it is I who am ... They auditioned all my vendors to make 
them talk to me. I always had a strong management, but now I do not understand is with HRD 
I had done the training " ? individualized action plan ? "to get rid of the weak! ...

Other managers are also off work, some even longer than me! It was bought it six years ago 
by an American pension funds, and since then it has changed reporting relationships, 
increased the number of products to be placed, it became very complicated. Yet, as you, my 
pay was halved. Pension funds have pumped the whole company, a redundancy plan was 
announced in September. I have no taste for anything. I mechanically advance. I want it to 
stop, I feel aggressive. I want them to have used me.
